Update 32bit board firmware on mac

GregorPQ

I did manage to update the firmware of the 8bit board with 'AVR Tools'. But that didn't work with the new firmware.
Does anyone know how to do it?

It's all explained in the manual.

I tried to download the new FW in the new GUI on MAC. Doesn't work! GUI ask me to download the new FW but works for a few seconds. Than info "Serial corrupt"! Any ideas?

Hello!

Currently, firmware upgrade on MAC or Linux IS NOT SUPPORTED. You need to find a PC with the windows to upgrade.

I even tried to run the firmware at first glance on Mac, tried a lot, no luck.

Any way to upgrade the firmware on 32bit V3 board using a mac?

It works with Parallels Desktop.

In Parallels it is not recognising the board, even after installing all the recommended Silabs usb driver.
:(
Any other option?

If you have installed the drivers for WINDOWS it should open a COM port that you choose in the GUI to update the FW. It worked really well for me in Parallels Desktop on OSX 10.6.

I can't get the firmware update to work in windows in parallels either. It recognizes the board, but tells me stmflashloader has a side-by-side configuration error. I've followed up on troubleshooting tips, installed/uninstalled/reinstalled the C++ packages with no luck. Please help

I heve installed Windows 7 on bootcamp and that works ok, but I really hope that the update issues get fixed on the Mac GUI.

Note: on Windows I use the .exe file. Also .jar works, but maybe it is the .jar that has the update problems?

Howdy, Stranger!
