Is there more fun to be had than finding out you are a total IDIOT?? Please let me know.

?

I’ve been playing with my new Ultra for a few days and finally decided to upgrade the firmware.? I first upgraded my 2 tinySA(s) and all went well.? So on to the Ultra.? I followed “Push down on the jog switch and turn the thing on” and using “dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D tinySA.bin” awaited the results.? Well, the above referenced command started but did not finish and I now had a ‘dead’ Ultra.? I should note that while in ‘dfu’ mode, the screen is dark the whole procedure.? That is part of the reason I did not panic immediately; I glanced at my computer screen rather than looking at the Ultra.? It was after looking at the computer screen I started to wonder what is going on.

?

What the hell?? Maybe I read the battery wrong.? I put it on charge over night.

?

Next day I tried again, a number of times, and each time resulting with:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/Downloads % dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D tinySA.bin

dfu-util 0.11

I had just finished upgrading my 2 tinySA.? So I tried opening the case and shorting BOOTO and DCC and running the same command.? Same results.? I should note that there is no reason to open the case of the Ultra - just use the jog switch procedure.? Using the Finder, I tried to see the Ultra on my system.? Not to be found.? I then sent Erik a private message.? He alerted me to lsusb.? I had never herd of the command and loaded it to my system.? For those not having it, get lsusb!!!? lsusb showed no Ultra.? Now what?? Well first a number of exchanges with Erik.? I measured a few voltage points (all correct).? Then I thought ‘try a different cable’. ? Suddenly everything worked and my Ultra was back in commission.

?

To be truthful, 23 times I did above; I’m a slow learner. ? Before I retired, my job was to repair various machinery.? I know wires, cables and especially wires within casings break.? Why it took me three days in total to remember ‘wires break’ is beyond me.

?

I want to thank Erik for his patience!!!

NO, you are NOT an idiot!

Years ago, two aircraft repair crews changed all the boxes multiple times to fix a problem in a system.

None of those efforts solved the problem.

Finally someone reasoned out that the problem was not any of the boxes, but the aircraft, yup, wiring problem, once isolated/repaired, problem solved.

So, in total, nine reasonably intelligent people could not get past changing out the boxes till one thought outside the usual procedure.

Take comfort in the knowledge that you are definitely NOT alone in this.
