Meadow OS Flash Failure

treygourley · July 7, 2021, 5:21am

So I set my Micro F7 aside for the last year letting development catch up with what I wanted to do with it. With the recent release of beta 5.1 I thought I would pull it out and play around with it a little.

I have spent the good portion of the evening updating windows, using Zadig, going into boot mode, out of boot mode… Dumping the old code I had and creating a fresh Hello World.

At this point I am able to get the CLI to recognize the F7 in boot mode, but it doesn’t look like the OS flash is working (logs below.)

It is giving me a warning about dfu-util being out of date. BUT… the recommended command doesn’t appear to be correct.

I instead ran the meadow install dfu-util command with the following results

C:\>meadow install dfu-util

If I open the HelloWorld app in VS, have the Meadow extention installed, and deploy the project, I do get the following output.

Hoping this might look familiar to someone.

It is giving me a warning about dfu-util being out of date. BUT… the recommended command doesn’t appear to be correct.

So the first thing I would attempt here is to perform a manual update to dfu-util. You can get the package from Sourceforge. I have let the development team know about this problem.

From the output from the board it looks like you do not have the latest OS on the board so I would follow the deployment instructions.

You can check if the deployment has worked by executing meadow device info. You should see the following message:

Meadow by Wilderness Labs, Model: F7Micro, MeadowOS Version: 0.5.1.0 (Jul  6 2021 18:04:11), Processor: STM32F777IIK6, Processor Id: 40-00-2e-00-0e-51-38-32-37-35-36-30, Serial Number: 306435813238, CoProcessor: ESP32, CoProcessor OS Version: 0.5.1.0, Mono Version: 0.5.1.0, Device Name: MeadowF7

somewhere in the output.

Once this has completed successfully you will need to redeploy your application.

Hope this helps,
Mark

Thanks for the response. No luck yet.

I was able to find where dfu-util is located on my machine and update it with the correct version. That error has gone away. But I am still not getting the Meadow to update.

Done!

Also the meadow device info isn’t working for me and is returning an exception it cannot find COM3. But, I can do a meadow flash os immediately after this (without unplugging or anything) and it will find it on COM3 to update (and still fail.)

I think your com port is wrong, it looks like it is set to 3 when it should be COM3.

Try executing meadow device info -s COM3 to reset the port name. Once that is done try running the flash / update commands again.

Regards,
Mark

Sorry, no luck there. I tried both in boot mode and normal runtime mode.

So… there is hope! On a whim I decided to run meadow download os and I think that changed something. Because now the Meadow is coming up on COM4.

Running the meadow device info -s COM4 came back:

But… the app on the Meadow doesn’t appear to be working.

Ok… so working off the warning/error that there was a mono version mismatch:

C:\>meadow mono state
Connecting to Meadow on COM4
Meadow StdInfo: Mono will not start. Version mismatch, Meadow.OS version 0.5.1.0, Mono version 222.192.173.222.
Meadow StdInfo: ESP32 version not available. Meadow.OS version 0.5.1.0, Mono version 222.192.173.222.
Meadow StdInfo: Mono is enabled
Mono Run State: Enabled
Done!

I ran the meadow mono update rt command and it appears to have fixed the mono type mismatch.

C:\>meadow mono update rt

So now the error message is gone, but it says that mono is disabled.

C:\>meadow mono state
Connecting to Meadow on COM4
Meadow StdInfo: Mono is disabled
Mono Run State: Disabled

So I enabled mono:

C:\>meadow mono enable

AND I SUCCESSFULLY HAVE THE HELLO WORLD APP RUNNING ON THE MEADOW AND THE ONBOARD LED IS ROTATING THROUGH THE VARIOUS COLORS!!!

The next command you want is meadow flash esp to put the correct firmware on the ESP32. If you do that you should find that meadow device info should return all three versions as 0.5.1.0.
