Microbasic Transfer

Thanks,

If you need assistance with firmware bugs etc, I'm willing to assist if will make things go bit quicker :)

Any news on this as all development work is depended on this and client not getting any happier

If you need help, please let me know so I can try get resolved and get going again.

The problem has been found and fixed. We are conducting a few tests. Release expected tomorrow

Thanks,

Will this be new firmware as it seems one not able to transfer firmware via the raspberry:
When executing the firmware upadte command as per manual, the response is only "-" and not IAP as per manual.

Morning

Ok, went out and bought the things needed to make the serial cable. I connected but I still does same as on usb.

Is there any news on the fix for this as we need to make decision today if we keeping the Rio board or need find another product

Error on firmware update from pc utility

This is not good news at all. @roboteq when will you release a working firmware version?

The log shows that the firmware file was transfered to the rio. The startup message was not detected after the programming completed and rio rebooted. But this can be a false alarm. If rio is operational after the boot, then it is all ok.

If the programming really failed, then you will be observing a constant reboot and crash. On the serial port, you will see "Starting ..." repeating continuously. If that happenend, there is a way to recover by pressing and holding the w key on the keyboard. RIO will enter the firmware update mode and display "IAP" followed by the C letter every second. You can then use send file function on the terminal emulator and transer the rioxxxupdate.bin file.

Rgarding firmware update from the RPI, you can do the same thngs as shown above while "Startup ..." is displaying in minicom. If RIO is running normally, you can enter the update mode by sending "%RESET 321654987". This will cause RIO to reboot and while it is restarting, press and hold the w key.

Finally, beware that the firmware for the version 1 of RIO (without USB) is not the same as the one for the new RIO with USB. Loading one onto the other will cause crash.

Thanks. So the manual is incorrect regarding the firmware update method?

Any news on the Microbasic transfer problem with pc software or can I somehow get files transfered via another method?

Is FID=Roboteq v1.3 RIOAHRS 03/17/201 the one with or without usb?
