VOXL2 IO Board Flashing Firmware

Aaron Porter

I am trying to flash the firmware to the VOXL2 IO board but I am getting an issue using OpenOCD. It seems like the version has changed since the documentation was created.

+ FIRMWARE_FILE=/.../Downloads/m0065_firmware.bin
+ sudo openocd -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/interface/stlink-v2.cfg -f /usr/share/openocd/scripts/target/stm32f1x.cfg -c 'adapter speed 4000' -c init -c 'sleep 100' -c 'reset halt' -c 'sleep 500' -c 'flash write_image erase /.../Downloads/m0065_firmware.bin  0x08001C00' -c 'reset run' -c exit

Info : The selected transport took over low-level target control. The results might differ compared to plain JTAG/SWD
adapter speed: 1000 kHz
adapter_nsrst_delay: 100
none separate
invalid command name "adapter"

I am on a Linux computer and installed OpenOCD using just apt-get install openocd. I have the ST-Link connect like the diagram shows. And the ST-Link is connected to my computer via USB.
So Honestly I am lost to as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

@Aaron-Porter , can you please provide a link to the instructions that you are following? Do you have an M0065 boards with Modalai bootloader already installed, or do you have the original M0065 which was using a bootloader from PX4 ?

I am following this guide: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io-firmware/
I am trying to install the firmware using STLink

as for the bootl oader it is a ModalAI bootloader already installed I assume based on the blue LED light flash, so it is not a legacy board

@Aaron-Porter , thank you for clarifying. We resolved your issue offline, as this was a pre-release development effort.

Moving forward, all customers have two options:

if you already purchased M0065 without ModalAI bootloader (the board was using old px4io bootloader and firmware), you can request a free replacement that will be sent with our latest bootloader and firmware installed (please request via support email)
all the new M0065 shipments will come with ModalAI bootloader and firmware

With the new bootloader / firmware combination, there is no need for STLink at all. The firmware will be updated via UART directly from VOXL2 or optionally via a USB adapter. The firmware update protocol is very similar to our ESC firmware update protocol, so we will be able to use voxl-esc tools to perform the firmware update.

We will be updating the docs shortly (https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io-firmware/) and will post an update here once it's ready.
