+Andrew Davie Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I'm such a dork. A week or two back I flashed (via SD) the UnoCart so kindly sent to me by @SS That went fine, and I promptly turned off everything and only today came back to using the cart. So, I turn on my machine/TV. Blank screen. Mmmh. Maybe try turning off/on again. Nope... OK, UnoCart doesn't work at all. Other carts do. And then it hit me. Uh oh... I left the reflash binary on the SD card. Surely it wasn't in the middle of a re-flash when I turned the power off... seems like it. Bugger. I guess it would be nice for the UnoCart to either rename/delete or somehow flag that the flashing has already been done, or give a user prompt to start the flashing. Because this fail-mode is something I'm sure is going to happen again! I guess I have to find a ST/link somewhere. I have a vague memory that I have one... somewhere. Still, feel pretty dumb.

DirtyHairy Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Flashing doesn't happen unless you run the upgrade .bin from the menu. The name of the binary is irrelevant, and it is safe to keep it on the SD. This sounds like something went wrong during the upgrade and flash was corrupted. What binary did you flash? Did the update end with the flashing "update complete" screen? Did the card initially work after the flash? In any case, I guess a ST/Link will be necessary to recover the card.

Yes it flashed perfectly. I ran the updated version and it showed the correct version number on the bottom. I can't recall exactly - version 10? I can't check, we have been evacuated due to an emergency bushfire and no idea when we can get back. Hoping our house is still there. Fingers crossed.

+Andrew Davie Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Well, I took the UnoCart out of the shell to check it physically, and it works perfectly now. I guess there was some issue with the shell preventing it from seating properly. There's a small black 'tag' that has fallen off - not sure where it belonged, don't really care to check. It works bare, I'm happy to use it bare. On another note, we are back at home - the house survived. The fire stopped about 100 m from our yard, so we were very lucky. There were about 11 houses lost, and 12,000+ hectares burned. You yanks will need to get with the times, boys, and figure that out in acres if you don't know how big that is! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Andrew Davie Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 What is the correct st-link command to flash the firmware? I've tried (guessing)... st-flash write ~/Downloads/firmware.bin 0x80000000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Nevermind... this worked for me! st-flash --reset write ~/Downloads/firmware.bin 0x08000000 A slight mistype/think on that address and now it's OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
