@ajb2k3 said in m5 burner and firmware:

@chrisc leads are normally the issue.
have you actually downloaded the firmware by clicking the listing on the left?

Yes, and on Mac OS nothing happens :(

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

@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>

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:

1. The COM port lists "/dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port", which is surely wrong?
2. 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
