Hi,
My ez-b doens't want to update... I have tried it over and over, but it still doesn't want to update... It says:
Attempting connection on COM40 EZ-B reports EZ-B Firmware V11 Connected Press the UPDATE button to start upgrade Warning: Line 1: Skipping Type: 4 Warning: Line 3: Fixing Diff: 4 Warning: Line 443: Skipping Type: 4 Warning: Line 444: Impossible Diff: -7038 Address: 0x0, SB Size: 0x36FC Starting Boot Loader...
Updating... (14.076 Bytes)
And then it stops... No flashing lights, only solid... Once waited 30mins orso, but still nothing...
I'm using the internal bluetooth of my pc to connect to my ez-b, could that be the problem? Although it works perfectly with the ARC v11.
So what can I do to solve this problem?
COM40? That's a lot of com ports on your computer! Or, you may be suffering from a very common microsoft bug with invalid com port naming. There is a conversation on this forum somewhere about it. The only way around is to delete your EZ-B com ports and re-add. Sometimes it even requires a reboot. Terribly annoying when it happens!
Also, if you can use the latest ARC. The latest firmware update utility will provide more debug information
