H7 Camera Board Bricked

It’s alive!

After bricking when trying to update with the IDE on a Ubuntu client under VxWorks.

Downloaded ST’s programmer to the host Ubuntu system

copied bootloader.bin and firmware.bin from client to host
(They were at ~/.config/OpenMV/qtcreator/firmware/OPENMV4)

Shutdown VM so ST on the host could have the USB

Used ST to program and verify bootloader.bin at 0x8000000
Used ST to program and verify firmware.bin at 0x8040000

Stopped ST programmer, restarted openmv ide in the VM

Now IDE can see the hardware, is happy with the version, and can download and can see camera image on screen. (Yea!)

(There appear to be 2 repeatable, but minor bugs in the IDE.

  1. Can’t erase past block 44 when loading firmware.dfu
  2. Tries to down load a file which is not in the release. (openmv.dfu)
    )
