DFU Update fails

OpenMV Boards
1

Hi all-

I seem to have a bricked camera. After going through the steps, I connect the BOOT and RST pins together and it starts erasing/downloading, but then hangs in the second sector. Output below. Any help?

It’s fine. The latest STM32 chips cannot be loaded via DFU anymore. This hang problem happens if you try to load the main firmware.

Instead, remove the connector from BOOT0 and just plug your camera in to connect to the normal bootloader. The green light should flash.

Note that the DFU load does load the bootloader sector so you should be fine. It just can’t load the main firmware.

Thanks for the reply, but now I think something more serious is wrong. When I plus in the cable, no LEDs light up: no green, no blue, no white flash.

For the record, I’ve tried multiple cables and ports, all of which work with another camera, so that’s not it.

I’m using the H7 (R1) on a mac (Mojave), if that makes any difference.

The voltage on the VIN pin is ~4.1V when powered by USB; the 3.3V pin is 3.3V.

You should try the DFU update process again…FWIW I just tested dfu-util with OPENMV4-H7 on Linux and I do get an error but it’s after it’s done uploading the firmware and bootloader. I removed the jumper and disconnected and reconnected the cam and it worked fine. This is the error I got:

:bump:

None of these suggestions work. I fear I need to do something more ‘manual’ to bring it back to life. What should I try next?

VIN is input, as the name suggests, it shouldn’t have a voltage on it when powered from USB, so maybe something is shorting it’s likely the board is damaged.
