Updating the BrickPi3 SAMD Firmware with ‘/home/pi/Dexter/BrickPi3/Firmware/brickpi3_firmware.bin’.
Is your brickpi3 functioning normally? Meaning the motors turn and that kind of stuff? I am guessing the debug port is for development. Meaning its probably fine. If the update gui said it went fine its most likely fine. Errors happen all the time and don’t always mean anything much. For example your computer probably just encountered an error but it really wasn’t an issue.
Hi,
No, when I try to run a program, the output is:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/pi/myProjects/pi3/LEGO-Touch_Sensor.py”, line 15, in
BP = brickpi3.BrickPi3() # Create BP, an instance of the BrickPi3 class.
File “build/bdist.linux-armv6l/egg/brickpi3.py”, line 272, in init
brickpi3.FirmwareVersionError: BrickPi3 firmware needs to be version 1.3.x but is currently version 1.0.1------------------
(program exited with code: 1)
Press return to continue
And as I mentioned in my first email, the update did not go fine, it ended with a number of errors.And why do you ship a product with outdated FM?Jerry T
Firmware and drivers development has continued since the BrickPi3 was manufactured, which is why there is an improved firmware version available. The reason that the firmware update is required, is that some of the new features in the drivers were added to the FW at the same time (some features require driver and firmware support). If you use the current drivers with old firmware, some features might not work as they should, and some won’t work at all.
If you have not yet rebooted since installing BrickPi3, you should do so. From the terminal you can run the following command to reboot: sudo reboot
From the terminal you can run this command to update the firmware: sudo bash /home/pi/Dexter/BrickPi3/Firmware/brickpi3samd_flash_firmware.sh
You can refer to the firmware update README for more information.
Thank you for th reply. Unfortunetely, the result is exactly the same as in my first post, see. above.
I understand perfectly well that SW and FM evolves. I’m just frustrated over a product not working and with
no tools to fix the problem in sight.
Just what install.sh am I supposed to run? I tried both applicable for BrickPi3 with no improvment.
If you are using Raspbian for Robots and ran the DI Update, install.sh has already been run (BrickPi3 is already installed). That part of the firmware update README is for users who are using BrickPi3 on standard Raspbian, where the BrickPi3 software needs to be manually installed.
It looks like you have Raspbian for Robots installed. Have you run the DI Update and selected “Update Dexter Software” to update the OS software (make sure it’s up to date)?
What version of Raspberry Pi hardware are you using?
Have you done any installation for other hardware (beside Dexter Industries hardware)?
Copy the image to the SD card using dd on Linux.3. Power up the BrickPi34. Run raspi-config5. Run DI Update - Update Dexter SW
Reboot7. Run DI Update - Update Robot (BrickPi3)8. Run Test and Troubleshoot This results in "BrickPi3 FM needs to be version 1.3.x but is currently version 1.0.1"
As you can see, I don’t install other SW.
What now? Jerry T
With raspi-config is there anything hardware related you changed, or was it just things like expanding the filesystem, setting locale, etc.?
Can you run this command, and then post the printed results? I know it could very well be similar to the output you posted above, but it won’t be identical. sudo bash /home/pi/Dexter/BrickPi3/Firmware/brickpi3samd_flash_firmware.sh
I know you want to get running ASAP, but typing “Carpe diem!!!” at the end of all your posts will not affect the response time, and can be interpreted as shouting.
Here comes the result of the infamous command.No, nothing in raspi-config except what you say (expanding, locale).
Sorry for the exclamation at the end of my mails. Jerry T
Good morning!I have some news, good and bad.This morning I rushed to my hobby store and bought a new Raspi 3.Connected it to the BrickPi3 and ran the DI Robot Update. You can see the log in the attached file.Then I rebooted. And when the system came up the yellow diode was black (off). Consequently, The Test and Troubleshoot tool reports BrickPi as not connected.I shut down and powered up the system several times and on one occasion the yellow diode went on. That’s it.
And there we are.I must say I feel like doing debugging job for Dexter Industries. The board behaves differently depending on what version of Raspi it’s connected to.The firmware update simply doesn’t work, one way or another. And the BrickPi is totally useless, as it looks like right now.
Can you run this command, and then post the printed results? I know it could very well be similar to the output you posted above, but it won’t be identical. Please, I want to see the exact output from this exact command. sudo bash /home/pi/Dexter/BrickPi3/Firmware/brickpi3samd_flash_firmware.sh
I made a slight modification to the Read_Info.py example program (modified version attached). Please run this python program and post the output. Read_Info.py (2.1 KB)
Hi,
For the ouput of Read_info.py see log.log.
For the output of brickpi3samd_flash_firmware see fm_update.log.Judging from the latter, everything is OK, right?The only difference is that this time I ran the command via ssh (I ran it form a terminal connected directly to the brick as well)So why do things work, all the sudden? Jerry T
It seems that your files did not get attached to your post. Please try re-sending them.
Until I see the files to compare, I can’t know for sure, but I suspect there might be a problem with the DI Update FW updater. Running the update script directly has worked many times with a variety of HW and SW configurations, but I’m not familiar with the DI Update FW updater. I wrote and have extensively used the update script, which is why I wanted you to run it directly.
Once I get your log files I will check them and investigate to see if DI Update has a bug.
Well, this was not exactly the case. From the beginning, when I tried to run a program, I got an error message saying that the FM was outdated (1.0.1, should be. 3x). And when I died to update… As I said, the only difference was the SSH. Now I tested to run two sensors and 3verything seems to be OK. So thank you until we meet again.
