VS1000Module Flash Update

Post by inek »

Hi,

Since I use VS1000, I have obtained the VS1000 module (16MB) and evaluated it.
I tried to update the version to 0.8 by following the steps in the VS1000 Audio Module Manual (2023-01-04 P22), but it seems that the update has not been completed.
The message from UART is only "v0.72-uart(cr)Unknown manufacturer(cr)16MB(cr)" and the contents of the file are not output.
I was able to check the ogg files of Module1..5 from the USB. I also tried VSIDE/Prommer/Flasher Utility, but it doesn't seem to be updated.
What should I check next?

Regards,
inek

postscript,

I just reformatted the module's SPI flash
The ogg files can now be played continuously.
But SDUPDATE.PRG and FIRMWARE.RAW cannot update to v0.8
When I insert the SD card the message looks like this
”SD
0017=size
Got SPI Flash size
SDUPDATE.PRG here, initializing MMC
Initializing Mmc(50)
Init Filesystem() ok"
But the version remains 0.72

It looks like SDUPDATE doesn't find FIRMWARE.RAW from the uSD card. Check that you don't have any extra spaces in the name.

You should get "FIRMWARE.RAW found\n" when the file is located.

If neither FIRMWARE.RAW or CONTENT.RAW are found, SDUPDATE enters a loop where it pulses GPIO0_5 and reports the uSD insertion switch in GPIO0_10.

If at least one of them is found, after programming SDUPDATE will generate a beep, lowers the IO voltage, and then waits for the uSD to be removed and then resets.

Hi,

I was able to update to v0.8
The cause seems to be that the extension was duplicated when renaming to FIRMWARE.RAW.

Thanks,
