Updating VOXL2 IO board errors


  • Dev Team

    Trying to update the voxl2 IO board via a jlink/stlink connection but I am receiving the following output:

    ****** Error: Failed to prepare RAMCode using RAM
    Communication timed out: Requested 24 bytes, received 0 bytes !
    Target voltage too low (1 Volt is required, Measured: 0.0 Volt).

    Any direction would be great.

    We resolved offline, but ended up have Zach use an STLink.

    How to build FW is here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-io-firmware/

    And here's an example using STLink (download from ST's site...)

    BL_FW_FILE="modalai_voxl2_io_bl.bin"
    BL_FLASH_START_ADDR="0x8000000"
    
    APP_FW_FILE="modalai_voxl2io-v2.bin"
    APP_FLASH_START_ADDR="0x08001000"
    
    if ! [ -f "${BL_FW_FILE}" ]; then
        exit 10
    fi
    if ! [ -f "${APP_FW_FILE}" ]; then
        exit 11
    fi
    
    echo "erasing..."
    sleep 1
    STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD -e all
    
    echo "programming bootloader..."
    sleep 1
    STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD -w "${BL_FW_FILE}" "${BL_FLASH_START_ADDR}" -v
    
    echo "programming application..."
    sleep 1
    STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD -w "${APP_FW_FILE}" "${APP_FLASH_START_ADDR}" -v
    
    echo "resetting..."
    sleep 1
    STM32_Programmer_CLI -c port=SWD -hardRst
