Cant upgrade my CC3D firmware with LibrePilot
« on: January 07, 2016, 06:18:20 pm »
Hi.
I cant upgrade my CC3D firmware with LibrePilot. Getting timed out and a message that tells me to use the uploader plugin.
So I found that if I use the Firmware-tab I should make it work but i get the same error.

Added a picture of the error message. My board is blinking blue and the green LED is not blinking, its constant green.
I am running windows 10 if that helps to solve the problem

Any ideas?

Hi,
Welcome.

If timeout maybe your board have a v3 bootloader.

Try update bootloader first:
https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Firmware+Tab

or

- Disconnect the board from USB.
- Click Upgrade & Erase button
- Connect the board to automatically install firmware and erase flash.
- Disconnect / Reconnect for reboot if fails to reboot automatically.

Now I have the latest firmware on the board and have updated the bootloader. But when i want to run the Wizard I have the problem that I cant click next when doing the board identification.

I have added a picture.

Looks like your board is not running, there is no Rx data displayed on bottom.

How it works while you power the board ? Fast blinking at some point ?

There is fast blinking when I connect the CC3D with LibrePilot. Then I only have one green dot for the TX. Then where you can see all the stats for the board. Flight Time and so. There is says "Log Replay", added image.

- Try Rescue button
- Connect board

Witch Bootloader version ?

If BL v4, try again with Upgrade&Erase and be sure you wait for Erase.

So. Now i get "Time out while booting. Press OK to finish, you will have to manually upgrade the board".

Really want it to work.

This should not append with this method:

- Disconnect board first
- Rescue button or Upgrade&Erase
- Connect board

I have done this and nothing changes. When doing the Upgrade&Erase right before the rebooting the computer looses the connection with the USB, that it cant be recognised. Can this be the problem?

Are you sure the bootloader is v4 ?

Connecting board after click on button ?

Maybe a windows issue, try another PC if you can.
