Dick,
Putting things into perspective, the tinysa is a new product, as is it's Wiki which is maintained by Erik. Erik is very good at adding knowledge to the Wiki for the benefit of the end users.
Since a few tinysa users have had issues trying to understand how DfuSe works, maybe Erik can add some helpful tips to the forum's Wiki. (Ie: grab some images from my Nanovna document, below).
This is one of the reasons user forums are created - to share information and provide constructive feedback. So, instead of just saying 'trash the wiki', explain the issues you're having and what info you'd like to see added.?

Thank you, that worked.
I was not aware that the update procedure was similar to that used on the NanoNVA, in fact,
in all my traversing the various websites, nowhere was that mentioned.
I suggest that Wiki (or whatever it is) on TinySA.org be re-written or trashed. It's minefields
like these that make it a real pain to enjoy these new toys.
As far as the VNA goes, I settled on the NanoVNA-H4. I like the screen size.
Thanks for the help,

Hi Dick,
Please download this Nanovna user guide and refer to the firmware flashing section, using DfuSe.?
Both devices program exactly the same way.?
Also, delete the FW update file as it now contains a backup of your device's flash.? Download and use a fresh FW update file.?

And folks wonder why I am paranoid ....
The firmware I thought I did turns out not to be the case.
I followed the steps in the Wiki, which BTW, makes no mention of Upload vs Upgrade,
and now see I still have the old version.
Where is it written the proper way to upgrade the Firmware ??
Tnx, Dick, W1KSZ
Thank you Larry.? That was exactly the problem.? My thinking was backwards from ST's.? The first time I used the utility, I mistakenly used "upload".? Once I refreshed the .dfu file from Erik's site and "upgraded", all went well.
