Thanks, that’s very helpful!

You should just be able to double-click flash.sh in finder. None of the terminal business required. I’ll confirm / update the docs on monday.

You shouldn’t need to ‘know terminal’ just to upload a new firmware.

I’m not sure that’s setup by default. I’m not positive, but I don’t think the default on the Mac is to open .sh files with terminal, you’d have to set that up yourself (with get info/command-i on a .sh file, change “Open with” and “Change All…”).

Update: That theory appears to be confirmed in this SO post:

#19

I added this bit to a few docs (Scripting and Update):

Having trouble using the cd command?

  • Mac: right click the unzipped crow-vx.x.x folder and then press the OPTION key. This will reveal a Copy “crow-vx.x.x” as Pathname action. Select it and then paste into terminal after cd [spacebar].
  • Windows: hold the SHIFT key and right click the unzipped crow-vx.x.x folder. This will reveal a Copy as path action. Select it and then paste into terminal after cd [spacebar].
  • Linux: right click the unzipped crow-vx.x.x folder and select “ Copy ”. Then, simply Paste into terminal after cd [spacebar] .

my mac automatically opens flash.sh in Sublime :confused:

Thanks again, and yes, on a Mac…

With the monome eurorack firmware there was none of these issues. Once hombrew was installed you double click on the flash file and away it went. I think that’s why I ran into so many issues as in my mind I was doing the same thing yet nothing was working.
Extremely grateful for all the help here.

on macos we could make a flash.command file (ie tt is attached below, requires some extra bits)

#!/bin/sh
cd "$(dirname "$0")"
dfu-programmer at32uc3b0256 erase
dfu-programmer at32uc3b0256 flash kria.hex --suppress-bootloader-mem
dfu-programmer at32uc3b0256 start
#23

Ah yes, I was thinking of ‘.command’. We’ll get that rolled into the next firmware release.

This seems helpful, but when I actually type ./flash.sh after getting into the right directory, it says:
sudo: dfu-util: command not found
SCOTTs-MBP:crow-v1.0.0 scottburton$

any idea why?

#25

Nevermind—I had not fully installed a JDK which had stalled out my dfu-util and Homebrew install. Anyway, I just successfully installed crow 1.0.0!

Still having trouble updating my crow with my PC and cmd!

After I cd to the folder containing the .zip file, in this case running:

cd C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\Hardware\Firmware\crow\crow-v1.0.0

And then typing “./flash.sh”, it comes up with:

“.” is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I try removing the “.” and the same message appears.

I try holding shift, right clicking, copying as path, and pasting it into cmd with cd, as this:

cd “C:\Users\Jacob\Desktop\Hardware\Firmware\crow\crow-v1.0.0.zip”

And it then tells me that the directory name is invalid.

I’ve tried removing the quotation marks but it still comes up with the same message. I’ve tried unzipping, but then I’m back to the “not recognized message” after trying to run the “./flash.sh” command…

Can someone help me?

Those instructions are Mac/Linux specific. Open the sh file in a text editor and copy the text, paste into the command prompt opened at folder. Delete ‘sudo’ and run the command.

Need to update that update doc

Great, thank you! I thought it could be something along those lines. Will try it when I get a chance tonight :slight_smile:

#29

Okay, I’ve opened the sh file in notepad and tried copy pasting the text in the command prompt, without sudo, yet I’m still getting the same “is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.” message.

This is the text, if it’s any help:

dfu-util -a 0 -s 0x08020000 -R -D crow.bin -d ,0483:df11

#30

You need to install dfu-util. If you’re on windows 10, you’ll need the 64bit version. There is a link on the update page - “windows binary”.

#31

I already have dfu-util, and have used it plenty of times to update my ansible without issue. Unless there’s something different about its use with crow?

#32

Ansible uses dfu-programmer :wink:

#33

Aha, okay, I’m obviously confusing dfu-util with dfu-programmer :upside_down_face:

See how I go with this then…

Thanks all!

Edit: I DO have dfu-util already too… Ugh what am I doing wrong?

#34

Given the error message it just sounds like you need to either

A) add dfu-util to your system path

Or

B) copy the crow.hex into the same folder that dfu-util is in, and run the command from that folder

#35

crow.bin but otherwise I was going to suggest the same thing!
