Firmware Help!

Post by mtec »

Hi I've been trying to update my firmware for my x0xb0x with no luck at all.
I've searched the forums here and tryed all the different methods suggested, that I could find (com port settings, speeds).
The USB driver works fine, and even 2 out 5 times the box connects to the control software.
But when I try and load firmware it says "make sure x0xb0x is in bootloader mode" which it is.
I would like to install SokkOS, I have tryed easy 100 times. Hoping that it might happen if I just keep going.
Is there a way of know what version firmware I have?
I would really appreciate some advice.

the only thing i can suggest is this:
(keep the order)
1. turn OFF the x0x
2. turn the FUNC switch to BOOTLOAD
3. turn ON the x0x
4. in c0ntr0l - CTRL+U (but be sure the port setting matches the port in your USB Serial driver thing..)

The chip was supplied by TT, maybe it doesn't have bootloader installed?
Has anybody else out there had trouble updating there firmware to chip purchased through TT?
just a thought
