flashing sokkos isnt working!

Post by aminoacid »

hi!


i im trying to update my os from stock adaindustries version to the cool sokkos.

the pc register the device and i have even installed some kind of usb driver for the machine...

but when trying to upload firmware in c0ntr0l, i get the message


x0x didnt respond. make sure it is in bootload!


of course it is in bootload!


when i start the box (connected with usb and in booload mode) i get no lights at all. feels wrong.

do you think i could have a thing with the usbchip or the micro???

check my other forum post, issues updating firmware.

ive put what i done to get round it too.......


however; this is how i done it as i was having the same prob as you;

1)turn x0x off and plug usb cable in
2)turn to boot mode
3)switch on x0x
4)open device manager in windows
5)find the comm section and note usb controller on comm..., right click on that one and go to properties, click advanced tab and lower settings, baud to 9600 data sent just pick a lower number than is default.
6)click ok and then load c0ntr0l software
7)in serial tab, go to port and select which port the usb controller was on comm....
8)click x0xb0x tab and upload firmware

hope this made sense. like i said check my other post if you get stuck!!

Any luck yet Amino? It's often a case of simply being persistent.
In my experience, it works eventually!

havent had the op´ to try since i started the post...

at the time i tried with different speeds and others but no luck really..

i dont own a pc so i cant try it at any time...


im not surprised if theres some thing wrong with the usb chip really though since it was my first smt to solder...


funny thing was when i started the xox in bootload without the usb inserted i got no lights at all.
but when i started it with the usb inserted i get lots of random blinky...

to be continued!

sorry for hi jacking
i've done manualreading and searching on the forums but i'm still stuck trying to connect and update firmware.
i got some sync issues that i really hope to get rid of with some updateing.

i'm running win xp sp 3
the device manager shows that the xox is connected but with a yellow questionmark with a overlayed exclamation mark.
i get that theres a driver missing so i hit updatedriver but find nothing. questionmark with a overlayed exclamation mark remains.
just to check, i use a USB printer cable connected to a USB port on the computer. i notice that the cOntrol app has settings for com 1,2,3 and 4.
I dont have a comport. who does these days?
maybe these are noob questions but i have no idea how to move further.
some assistance please?
