SD card must be inserted for the device to work at all. It won't flash, nor will it boot to FujiNet screen without SD Card. BTW - I also had to desolder R14 and bridge R15 on this WROVER board to enable the internal antenna. That sure is fun to do by hand.

Mr Robot Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 This is one of the test boards. It has the SD card detect on pin 12. it’s interesting that the knock-off esp32 with the ant connector has the same issue as the genuine esp32 without it. The genuine esp32 with the ant connector is the only one that works with pin 12 the final board design has the pin moved to 15 but these were sent out to testers before we discovered the issue. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/314420-fujinet-update-flasher-problem/page/3/#findComment-4928145 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If @Stephen were so inclined, he could try this bodge to use IO15 instead of IO12 (I think this is the same board).

PROBLEM: Prior attempts (MacOS and Windows64) to use #fujinet flasher to update firmware version 0.5.8934daff failed due to: "Unexpected error: ESP Chip Auto-Detection failed: Failed to connect to Espressif device: Timed out waiting for packet header" SOLUTION: Forcing into flash mode by holding button-A when I plugged in the USB cable did the trick. I was also having problems flashing on macOS Big Sur (11.6.2), I was also seeing this error: Unexpected error: ESP Chip Auto-Detection failed: Failed to connect to Espressif device: Timed out waiting for packet header The #FujiNet flasher instructions mention updating the SILabs serial driver... I suspect (and will NOT be verifying) that the SILabs serial port drivers also need to be updated in newer versions of macOS to solve flashing problems on that platform. I'm hesitant to install 3rd party driver kernel modules on macOS these days, since driver authors should be using DriverKit to run drivers in userspace instead of installing kernel modules, as per Apple's documentation [1]. I got around this by booting a Windows 10 VM in VMware Fusion, installing the SILabs serial driver linked from the FujiNet page into the VM, and then running the updater tool. I can trash Windows VMs all day long and be happy about it. FWIW, I have a hardware version 1.3 device. This is what worked for me on macOS. Boot Windows 10 VM Install SILabs driver by hand from zipfile (unarchive zipfile, right click on "silabser.inf" and choose "Install") Verify in Control Panel -> Devices & Printers that the driver is installed with no errors Remove power from the #FujiNet device Shut off the Atari first before unplugging it from the SIO port, if you have it plugged in Remove the USB cable from the port if you're using that Hold down the "A" button on the #FujiNet (button closest to the USB port), then plug in a USB cable from the computer to the #FujiNet device VMware will prompt you to select where to connect a new device (host computer or VM) once it sees the new serial device on the Mac's USB port; choose "Run in Windows" Run FujiNet-Flasher.exe in the Windows VM I was able to run it straight from the zipfile, I didn't have to unarchive it first Select the COM port that the #FujiNet serial port has been assigned to Click on the "Flash FujiNet Firmware" button The firmware will begin to download (you won't see anything in the console log window for this) Once the firmware is downloaded, the flasher will look for the #FujiNet device and attempt to flash it [1] https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit Edited December 31, 2021 by spicyjack added "newer versions of" 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/314420-fujinet-update-flasher-problem/page/3/#findComment-4975365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
