update hw2.7b with win10

Danny92

Hello World !

I am new on this forum and for my first message, I will explain a little problem on which I work for 2 days now...

So, first, you need to know that I have a ds203 (quad) with hw2.7B and windows 10 (omg !! )

2 days ago, I managed to update my dso but how amazed I was when I saw that my windows can't recognize the dfu of my quad. After some readings on the net, I understood that the dfu version was the problem and so planned to update it with a newer one (3.45C).

Thus, I used a usb to ttl converter of a xbee adaptator and do the update with the 3.45C dfu. I restarted the dso and.... holl** cr**, the hardware had changed on the splash screen, showing 2.81 with FPGA error. I thought it was the FPGA but quickly, I saw that it was impossible to fix it unless I downgrade the dfu to the ancient one (incompatible with w10 or 8 or 8.1 even 7)

Therefor I have two questions (actually 2,5 questions):

- Is there a way to implement the dfu 3.45 without affecting the fpga and the reste (hw showed version for instance) ?
-If no, can I even though update the system (is B164 compatible ?) and install new app (wildcat and/or gabonator) ?


Thank You in advance

Danny

HW2.7 B does not support win10, precisely DFU3.42 version does not support win10 before.
HW2.7 B cannot burn DFU 3.45, DFU3.45 HW2.81 only apply.HW2.7 and HW2.81 FPGA chip is different,
All DFU program and FPAG also different, not common.But SYS and APP is universal.


If you have the ability to kinetic energy and the corresponding tools, you can refer to the following way.But brush "DFU" has a corresponding risk, please make sure you can perform strongly, ability is not enough there will be consequences.

how to flash/debrick/update "DFU"

HW2.7x's  MCU is STM32F103VCT6, HW2.81's MUC is STM32F103VET6
But your DSO203 HW version is 2.7x,Only write"DS203_Boot(HW272).hex". Remember, can't use other firmware. DS203_Boot(HW272).hex (720.15 KB, 下载次数: 1320)

DS203_Boot (HW272).hex or can only support the xp, Windows 7.
Before DFU3.42 version can only support the xp, Windows 7.
Will provide firmware upgrade support behind doing, win10, MAC.

thx Sagittarius.

So I will wait for win10 compatibility.

Until that, I have upgraded my dso with your Ds203_boot and B164 system. All works ! But it indicate HW2.72, is that normal ?

Besides that, could someone give the lic number for

HW2.7B =>indicate 2.72
DFU 3.14C
System 1.64
Serial nbr: E42FC57E

I am in similar position but with an earlier DFU and can't access from Win 10

I would be interested in DFU update when available and Licence No to match

HW2.7B =>indicate 2.72
DFU 3.11C
System 1.64
Serial nbr: FOC1CE98

Hello btidey, Here is your licence no.BEBA1CBE  for your DFU3.11; Licence no.9EBA0CE6 for DFU3.14

I did find a way to update firmware from a Windows 10 machine without getting an updated DFU

See thread here http://www.seeedstudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=6322

Obviously an updated DFU would make it easier but at least this allows a Windows 10 machine to be used.

2.7B update need Win7 or WinXP

I have DFU v3.11C and have successfully updated firmware several times from a Windows 10 PC using the procedure mentioned.

I copy to here--------update firmware from a Windows 10 machine

Windows 10 seemed to need a later DFU than was available for the older 2.7 systems to do updates. Although there was mention of a DFU update I suspect that might be sometime never. Previously I had used an older Win 7 machine but found the following method works although obviously a bit more convoluted than a simple copy.

1) Restart Windows 10 machine in safe mode. This is trickier than it seems as MS seems to have eliminated the F8 key method. Instead hold down Shift key when doing restart then Select Troubleshoot>Advanced Options>Start Up Settings. Then do Restart. When menu appears select Safe Mode (no networking)

2) Put DSO into DFU mode. Plug into USB port and the DFU disk will then appear. Note drive letter (e.g. D

3) Use a cmd window and copy path\app1.hex D: where path is where to find the firmware file. You may be able to use Explorer for this step but I find the copy method more reliable

4) Wait until completed (maybe 10 seconds)

5) Explorer should now show normal .rdy file

6) Restart Windows 10 to return to normal
