Ted,
I'm good until your step 3. Going into DFU mode clears the COM port
line and adds the 'Universal Serial Bus devices' line, which has no
drop-down. What next? And where do I find the driver I need, and how
do I install it?

Good Morning Terry, Take a look at this to see if the unit is
setting up correct drivers as noted by Ignacio:
1. Go into Device Manager and look at the ports section.
Connect the TinySA and turn ON. A new ST Micro port should show
up as COM PORT #.
2. Place the TinySA in DFU mode. The Ports section COM port
should clear.?
3. Go to Universal Serial Bus Controllers and look for an
entry "STM Device in DFU mode". If it is there and doesn't have
the yellow triangle by it, the DFU driver has loaded correctly.
If it is not there,? or has the yellow triangle, the driver is
incorrect on not loaded.? I had this issue once a while back. I
believe I uninstalled, and reinstalled the driver and everything
was back to normal.?

Hi Terry, a very basic question: Did you updated the
firmware
ever before? If not, probably you don't have the correct
driver for
the DFU mode, this is not the driver used to communicate
with the
PC apps. The DFU mode driver comes with the dfusedemo app
and
without it the firmware can not be uploaded.

THis is what I did- Larry
Get the tinySA_version_number.bin file from
and also
download from there the files with names starting
with DFU
(so the latest is tinySA_v1.3-317-g9d82970.bin)
THe other "DFU"??files?are important- the batch
file and etc.
Rename the downloaded file to tinySA.bin
Connect the tinySA with USB, switch the tinySA on
and enter DFU
mode.
Download dfu-util from
and
check you can execute it.
For windows, open a command window and go to the
folder with the
downloaded files and run DFU_LOAD_BIN.bat. The
tinySA should now be
updating with the tinySA.bin file using
dfu-util-static.exe
I did the?above on a W10 PC.
On Linux and Mac make sure dfu-util can run from the
command
prompt. Go to the folder where you downloaded and
renamed
tinySA.bin and execute
dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D tinySA.bin

Version is 1.3-111-gcb2fe54. The tinySA app works
great,
except for the upgrading function. After selecting
the file, the
app puts the tinySA into DFU mode automatically, but
as you can see
from the screenshot I posted, the app seems to lose
communication
with it. Same result if I put the unit in DFU mode
manually before
selecting the file. And the dfusedemo app can't even
detect the
device when it's in DFU mode, regardless of whether
I enter the
mode before or after running the app.

Hey Terry, what FW version do you have
loaded in the TinySA (menu=CONFIG/ VERSION)? And,
when connecting
to the TinySA app (before you try to update) does
everything work
Ok, you get a sweep and can control the unit from
the app?
It appears the program is not sensing the
unit is in DFU mode.
Does the TinySA appear to go into that mode when
selected in menu=
CONFIG/DFU/ENTER DFU, before trying to upgrade?
Perhaps one of our group more familiar with
this might have
some suggestions.?

Using the .dfu file you
supplied I followed your step-by-step, and
it still fails, with
this display:

Hi Terry, see attached, re:
TinySA update
with TinySA app. maybe it will help. Not a
complicated process. The
application does it all. if you follow the
steps attached. You need
to have the correct .dfu file downloaded
from the site. I have
attached it as well (latest ver 1.3.317).
Just copy to a file on
the computer that you can browse to when
the program requests it.
Remember, as soon as you click on the file
it will update and you
can track the progress (which is just a
few seconds) in the test
block.?

I had the same issues. I
used dfu-util, a bit of a
PITA but
figured it out. You need to
follow the how to and also
rename the
file to what the batch file
expects. It¡¯s a DOS based
process but
mine is running latest and
works- passes self test and
Cal.?
And Windows 10 needed to
recognize the tinySA as a
usb device-
running zadig helped get it
recognized. ?
Good Luck?

I've viewed a couple of

Also, if I click CHOOSE

have two different issues.
