Error following OS Flash instructions on Ubuntu 22.04

shawn · October 24, 2023, 7:56pm

I followed the instructions with a clean install updated 22.04. I see the device with lsusb, I have the .Net SDK 6 & 7 installed. When I boot the Meadow in Bootloader mode and run meadow flash os I get the following exception:

*also note, in contrast to the dfu-util update warning apt tells me it’s up to date as is.

Hi Shawn, could you share which is your CLI version (meadow --version)? Also, did you disable Mono before putting the board in DFU mode?

shawn · October 25, 2023, 2:45pm

v1.3.4

I didn’t see anything about disabling mono on Meadow OS Deployment - Wilderness Labs Developer Portal

halysson.carvalho · October 25, 2023, 3:56pm

Cool, I normally disable Mono before flashing the OS. But when executing meadow flash os, is checked before writing the OS and Runtime. Well, could you confirm when the DFU process is finished, your board turn the blue LED? Also, I tested and we expected this to happen:

Ok, Can you check if your USB port(meadow list port) changes when you press the reset button?

shawn · October 25, 2023, 4:24pm

(meadow list port) =>
Unexpected parameter(s):

(meadow list ports) =>
Found Meadow: /dev/ttyACM0
(reset button)
(meadow list ports) =>
Found Meadow: /dev/ttyACM0

When I push the reset button though the device changes device ID eg: Bus 001 Device 024 (reset) Bus 001 Device 025

Okay, try running this command meadow flash os -d, the -d will skip OS flash, so you don’t need to put the board in DFU mode. Also, you can select your USB port and add -s /dev/ttyACMx like this: meadow flash os -d -s /dev/ttyACM0

In the meantime I put it on my Windows box and followed those instructions. I updated the USB driver and then proceeded with the Windows OS install instructions which also failed. Output attached:

Did you check the USB port? Try using this command meadow list port, it is used to list the visible boards plugged into your computer.

shawn · October 28, 2023, 6:18am

On the windows box I get
"

"
I tried the meadow flash os again but the same result so I put it back in BOOTLOADER MODE and tried to flash and I get the same Unable to flash Meadow OS error.

Hi @shawn, Are you running Ubuntu in a VM?
Can you also let me know which version of Windows you are using, because we’re aware of an issue that happens on some Windows 10 machines and the occasional Windows 11 machine.

shawn · November 3, 2023, 4:42pm

Ubuntu is a dedicated box not a VM.
Windows is: Windows 11 build 22621.2428

Dominique.Louis · November 5, 2023, 8:57am

From your Windows message above, it looks like you tried to install dfu-util without administrator privileges. Could you please launch a terminal window in admin mode and run meadow install dfu-util again. Then try the flash os command again.
