Personally i have been updating FW using my Android phone and the stmdfuusb application.
Put the tinySA in dfu, connect it to the phone USB port, select the firmware and flash.
It supports many fw formats (hex, bin extensions) so just make sure to select the correct format.

The device manager didn't change after installing the driver either.
Sorry to be taking up so much bandwidth with this...

Yes, I put DFUdemo on my wife's laptop, and it too didn't find the
tinySA, which was in DFU mode.
In the folder shown below, I opened the version.txt file,
and it said to double-click on dpinst_amd64.exe for a
64-bit system. I did that in the Win10 folder, and it installed
the driver. But dfusedemo still doesn't see the device (in DFU
mode), and the tinySA app still gives gives the result I posted in
an early screenshot. In other words, no change. BTW, thanks for
your continued help. Hopefully there will be a Duh! moment soon.

Hey Terry, apparently the DFU driver is not loading and showing
up in the USB Devices section. This driver (two of them) are
installed with the DFUdemo program from ST Micro. I¡¯m not around
my computer right now but I¡¯ll look it up when I get back home.
It¡¯s possible something went wrong when the ST program was
installed. Your ST version number is the same as mine so should
be compatible. Look in the program file under ST Micro and see
what drivers are listed. Again I¡¯ll look at mine and send you a
screen shot later. I am using both Win10 and Win7 with no
problems. You mentioned you tried the update on your wife¡¯s
laptop, did you also put DFUdemo on it?

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.?

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

And Windows 10
needed to

zadig helped get

Good Luck?
