m5 burner and firmware
-
Hello,
I'm also having a problem updating the firmware.
I'm running MacOS 10.13.6, and have installed the driver, and tried to run the M5Burner.
I think there are 2 problems:- The COM port lists "/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port", which is surely wrong?
- When I click the download button for UIFlow-v1.3.2, it seems to finish quickly, and when I click "Burn" it says "You must download the firmware before burn it."
For 2 I assume the download has failed, but it doesn't display any error. Where should the downloaded files be stored?
Thanks,
Chris

@chrisc yes, blooth-incomming port is the macs bluetooth reciever.
check your lead, the usb c end can be rotated. try the C plug upside down in the m5.
if this doesn't work, try a new lead. -
@ajb2k3 Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, it was the cable that came with the device that was the problem, maybe it's charge only and not data :(
It's now showing up as "/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART" in the COM port list, but the download still fails :(
On Ubuntu 16 the serial driver compiles, but doesn't load due to "unknown symbols"... time to find a windows computer <sigh> -
@chrisc leads are normally the issue.
have you actually downloaded the firmware by clicking the listing on the left?
You also need to erase the existing firmware before writing new firmware. -

On Windows 10 I get the little green bar that while it's downloading. On Mac OS this doesn't display. Anyway, it seems to have updated via windows, so I won't bother trying to do it on Mac again.
Thanks for your help.Chris
