PX4 Firmware flashing - Flight Core V2
-
Hey @tom @Eric-Katzfey
As depicted earlier, I have used a Class 4 - SD card(16 GB) for the FCv2. I have tried running the command,
sudo dmesg -wH. I get the following error again, the device is not able to enumerate the fcv2.
Also, the cable I used works with other industrial flight controllers. Checked with different ports and cables too. Is there force boot switch on fcv2 which is to be enabled?
Above is the image of the flight core V2 after flashing of LED once powered or connected via USB UART. I'm using MCBL-00010 type connector as recommended.
Is there a way to flash the fc_v2 via VOXL2. Connecting the fcv2 as external flight controller to VOXL2 as prescribed here ?

@tom @Eric-Katzfey anything that I can try out here to flash fc_v2?

@Jetson-Nano Are you making sure to start the flash either via. qgc or the script, then plugging in USB?
@tom yes, while using QGC, I connect and wait for sometime, but the firmware upload option doesn't appear. I try reconnecting but still the same.
Similarly while trying to use the python script, I start the flash sequence but since serial port allocation is'nt reflected the program throws runtime.

@Jetson-Nano Just to confirm, in QGC you're getting to this page:
before plugging in USB correct?
-
@tom yes, I get into this page and as mentioned earlier trying QGC build 4.3.
-
@Jetson-Nano So when you get to that page the flight core needs to be completely disconnected from both power and USB.
Then you should plug in USB
@tom tried out the same as you told, kept the fc_v2 connected to USB after opening firmware page section. Was observing the page section for couple of minutes, received no response. On checking the terminal using
sudo dmesg -wH, the USB enumeration error(address not found) error same as earlier is thrown. -
