Where, from what do You see that the pdf is directed to TinySA ?

滨蝉迟惫á苍

Thank you. I have the sa4. I hold down the jog wheel ans power to enter DFU.
Will the stm32 see this as I follow the tinySA_Firmware_update_stm32CubeProgrammer?
I ask because the pdf seems geared towards toward the TinySA.

tinySA or tinySA3 -> tinySA
tinySA4 -> tinySA Ultra

And maybe I have the wrong bin file.

I need explicit instructions for the Ultra, please. The index site doesnt seem to have it.

I have STM loaded and the current Ultra bin file.
It is safe to follow the TinySA update pdf or is there a TinySA Ultra update pdf?

OK guys, to get the pdf file, YES the SA must be capitalized, i.e. cut and past like this:

And yes it works.

This concerns the "one wire mod" to the jog switch to DFU mode for the original tInySA. I was unable to find this info in the files. where is it? TIA

I had the same issue and the only way I was able to update was to use an older windows 10 machine, I even try downloading the stm drivers from their website for windows 11 and that did not work. Hope that helps.
I wish people would reserve their opinions when the OP is actually looking for people with experience and a solution to the question not their opinion on the question.?

Hi All TinySA (2.8") Owners,
Be advised there is a very simple (one jumper wire) modification for the original TinySA to use the jog switch to enter DFU mode just like the Ultra.
I have modified mine and it works well.
The details are in the Files section.
I also use STM32CubeProgrammer software to update the firmware on my TinySA and TinySA Ultra. Don's notes are very easy to follow.

I just purchased a genuine TinySA Ultra from R&L Electronics after playing with the original TinySA for a couple of years.? I had been using the STM32CubeProgrammer software to update the firmware on my TinySA and found it also worked without any problem with the TinySA Ultra.? The only difference was the procedure for putting the device into DFU mode.? There is a submenu switch in the TinySA to select DFU mode while the procedure for the TinySA Ultra is pressing and holding the jog button next to the power switch DOWN (not to the right or left) before powering on the device.? DFU mode is confirmed by a blank screen.? The first time I tried, I made the mistake of not pressing the jog button to the right rather than directly DOWN.

My computer and software skills are more basic, so it helped to follow a thorough cookbook recipe for this procedure described in this PDF written by Don Wines, K5DW.? It is recommended on the TinySA website:

Thank you. This works.

10. After getting a message that the driver was installed, switch on theTinySA Ultra while holding down the thumb wheel switch. You should hear a connection detected sound from the PC and the TinySA's screen should remain dark indicating it is in the DFU mode.

Could you please give us a winziped? I couldn't unzip rar files on my pc.

The OP has solved his firmware update problem....

It would have been nice if he had announced in the original thread he started about his firmware update problem that the problem had been solved.? You know, like how he wanted all the files in one place, it would have been nice to have the announcement of the problem and "hey, the problem has been solved" all in one place.? Oh well, I had fun experimenting with persistence and remastering on Linux "live" USB sticks.? But I don't think I'd be very inclined to spend any time in the future trying to help the original poster.? One could waste a lot of one's time working on problems he doesn't bother to let us know have already been solved.

The OP has solved his firmware update problem....

Vitaliy seems to have vanished after he got his problem fixed last week and was able to fix his problem.
He posted about it in a topic I started describing how the Win 10/11 Memory Integrity setting can block the STM DFU driver from being installed.? Here is a link to the discussion for those interested ...

I ran into similar issue as Vitaliy (driver not found) using Windows

I'm not sure that Vitaliy's problem is simply "driver not found."? He has some concern - apparently justified - that installing the driver in Windows will cause other problems in his system.? When he installed the driver, he lost access to his network attached storage and had to spend hours getting his system back to a functioning state again.

Vitaliy, I have loaded antiX Linux onto a USB stick, installed dfu-util, and remastered the iso into something I could post on the web, you could download it and burn it to a USB stick, boot your computer to it, and do your tinySA updates from there.? The only thing you would have to do is point your computer to the USB stick at boot time.? A lot of computers automatically look for boot alternatives and would present the Linux USB stick as an option to boot to.? If your computer doesn't do that, it would probably show a message like "Hit F12 for boot options" or something like that.? I've been playing with this just to confirm that it works, if you're interested I can improve it a bit more.? As is, you'd have to open the browser (I can set the home page for the browser to the tinySA firmware download page), right click the .bin file to save it, connect the tinySA to the computer, then open a terminal (I can put an icon on the desktop for this) and enter this command:

dfu-util -d 0483:df11 -a 0 -s 0x08000000:leave -D ./tinySA4_v1.4-72-gf8c2707.bin

I can put the command in a text file so you'd just have to copy/paste it into the terminal.? Currently, you would have to change the name of the file to the most recent .bin file, but I can probably make a short script/batch file that will automatically use the most recent .bin file, and all you'd have to do would be to click an icon on the desktop.? If you're interested, I can polish this up a bit and put the Linux iso up on the web for you to download and burn to a USB stick, or I could mail you a ready to use USB stick.

Anyway Vitaliy, there's my offer.? You want to keep doing battle with drivers on Windows, or you want to update your tinySA Ultra from Linux?

Oh, I chose antiX Linux for this because it's small and simple compared to most Linux distributions, and it has easy to use tools to add "persistence" to a Linux distribution on a USB stick (allows you to install programs and store files on the stick), and to "remaster" the files on the USB stick to include added programs - like dfu-util - as though they were part of the distribution as it came "from the factory."

Hi Vladimir,

My system is working fine but a year ago I had the problem similar to Vitaliy.? The problem was that the original path was too deep and Windows blew right past it while looking for it.? Here is a copy of more text from me that I posted a year ago that help explains it.
-----------------------------------------
Hi Will,

I figured it out after digging through some other posts.? Windows was finally able to find the correct drivers and install them after I gave it a less detailed path.? Originally I gave it a very detailed path based on another poster and it turns out the path was too deep within the STM software path.? I finally came upon a posting by Terry where he showed the path that I should use to allow Windows to update the driver and below is what he advised, and it worked great, and I was then able to use DfuSeDemo to upgrade my TinyVNA software, but it ate up all day to get there.

Thanks,
Don wd8dsb

Terry,

Go through the process of updating the driver anyway.? Click on the STM32 Bootloader under USB Devices and find your way to the button to update the driver.? Then select the following location exactly like this "C:\Program Files (x86)\STMicroelectronics".? Be sure “Include subfolders” is checked.
