[solved] [DM41L] Problem updating Firmware to V27

Post by Thomas_ER »

Hello,

according to instructions on https://www.swissmicros.com/firmware.php
I've downloaded and installed the drivers, the Update tool and the firmware V27.
Alle steps until "push the "RESET" button" are fine (DM41 displays "SERIAL CONSOLE").

But then the flash progress never is displayed, the Firmware Update Tool stays at
displaying "Press the reset button now ..."

Any hints or recommendation?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Press the reset button again :)

It doesn't always work on the first attempt.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary and those who do not.

I pushed reset until my calculator was blue in the face :) Finally, I reinstalled the update tool and it went through on the first try.

Hello grsbanks,
many thanks for your answer.
Previously I tried many times, restarting the program, also re-connecting
the calc to the pc, and also re-pressing the Reset Button.
Now I used another USB port (also USB2, no hub (it's my laptop)),
this time with success.
Thanks for your support!
