For those trying to upgrade their here 2 firmware to enable Serial mode, we have discovered that the SLCAN feature in ardupilot is not currently working on 3.7 master.
This is a known good firmware for getting SLCAN to work
I think you are trying update online feature. Don’t click the option which prompts to search online, instead choose local file. You are supposed to navigate to local file that you have downloaded from the link in the instruction.
I think what Omer is trying to ask is if there is a way to know that a successful update was performed.
If No then the answer should be a more respectful one.
Basically If you update the boot loader then the firmware and it’s working it’s done.
If you look in SLCAN there is info there but I can’t remember the versions off the top of my head And what is exactly shown. I’m away till Thursday so can’t confirm my self. .
But basically do the boot loader then firmware and your all good.
Hey @philip,
everything works fine, I updated the device, the bootloader and the firmware, I just wondered if I could tell by any sign or version that the bootloader is also updated or the only way is to overwrite and that’s it.
I already notice that the firmware version displayed in CAN mode in MP.
Another interesting question - is there a change log of the firmware and/or the bootloader?
I think the lights will slow strobe blue. when the bootloader is loaded I think they turn off. Or maybe that’s after the firmware is is loaded. It’s really easy. Just start over. Load the bootloader. Follow the instructions. Wait 4 minutes, reboot. Flash the firmware, wait 4 minutes reboot. I did a search online for the firmware and believe I got a newer version of the firmware than what’s in the instructions but not 100 percent sure in that one either.
