[tracker2] Latest Tracker3 Firmware?

['Curt, WE7U' [e-mail] [tracker2]]

My OT3m shows "Firmwware Build 56294" currently.

Showing in otwincfg.exe for the latest Web-based version:

Tracker3 build 57130, 04/18/2015

Is that the latest-latest?

[Curt Mills [e-mail] [tracker2]]

Doesn't matter now, bricked it. I don't think the Tracker3 processor is
getting through boot.

Details: Was Firmware 56294. Threw in Firmware 57130 off the 'net. Otwincfg
said it successfully flashed it but the Tracker3 was never visible to the
S/W again after that.

I also tried plugging it into a Linux desktop. Linux doesn't see the USB
port enumerated when I plug in the cable (It did prior to the flashing).

What to try next?

FYI - When I managed to "brick" mine ages ago, I discovered it never got
to USB boot, but it was accessible with the actual 9 pin serial cable.

Thanks. Will attempt.

Do the failsafe mode , it will reload the default then run otwincfg.

Not yet, but saw your note earlier. May get around to trying that tonight. Thanks!

If that doesn't work, I see a nice vacation in CA coming up for that unit.

Did last night. No luck. It's dead.

Hi Curt,

You can send it in and we'll re-flash it.  Or if you're really in a
hurry, I can check if my brother in law still has a MON08 programmer - I
think he's about three miles from you.

Maybe 3 mi from where I USED to be... I'm still in the area though.

No need to bother him. I'll send it to you with a note.

Could this have been caused by burning a Tracker2 config into a Tracker3, then flashing the Tracker3 with new firmware? That's what I did, in the order I did it. It was the very first time I used the Tracker3. It was new in the box but sitting around for several years in that "new" state. Still had the firmware it had when shipped until I tried to update it.

I see a "Shipping and Returns" address on your website. Will use that one.

[Scott Miller [e-mail] [tracker2]]

None of that should have killed the T2's bootloader.  At least, I don't
think so.  I'll have to read out the contents and see what happened.

It's a T3. I was using a T2 before, so threw the T2 config into the T3.

I sent it out tonight after work. Should be there soon.
