rapid blinking/reboot on any command

[bob666]

Hi,
I had upgraded 2.2a.8.6 because I was not receiving all events. After upgrade, a command sent to the ad2usb 2.2+ rebooted it, so put the project on the side for a while.
I just upgraded to the latest 2.2a.8.8 and still having the same issue (after multiple reboots, usb reset, etc.).
This has worked for years before with no problem. I just moved and rewired the whole thing. Same config, same panel , etc.
The device does:
- rapid blinking
- reboot when sending a command (such as V or !)

Strangely, alarmdecoderkeypad could get a version number before doing the latest upgrade.

Any idea what's going on ?
thanks,

Hi Bob,

Looks like a possible failed firmware upload, please try again - you can't brick it, but sometimes this happens during uploading firmware

[bob666]

I'll try again, no problem.
All upgrades I've done take way more than 20 minutes, hope that's ok. (alarmdecoderkeypad -> ser2sock)
Thanks

[kevin]

That doesn't seem normal... any chance you can use the python uploader? If you continue to have issues, please email support.

[bob666]

thanks Kevin
Upgrade was successful. Interestingly, ad2-firmwareupload gave

Code: Select all

Flashing device: localhost:8888 - 115200 baud
Firmware: ademcoemu_V2-2a-8-8.hex
Rebooting device..
Waiting for boot loader..
Uploading firmware.
Error: Checksum error in ademcoemu_V2-2a-8-8.hex

when using the socket, but was successful via direct USB.

One problem solved.

thanks again
Bob

Certainly weird on the socket doing that, but I suppose it could happen... can you make sure your ser2sock configuration for raw device mode is enabled? Also, maybe you're running an older version without a couple bugfixes??, check github

[bob666]

I checked and I was running the latest version.
I was not running with raw device mode, that may be reason. Will try next upgrade.
Hope this helps others in the future.

Thanks for the hints Kevin
