Hi,

hope someone can help me, i have purchased an canable, seems its an Openmoko, i want to change firmware on it, was testing it like below, but it gives errors?
As you can see in screenshot, i dont have a jumper to enter DFU mode? nor do i have a button on it? Anyone seen this before?

What's the output of lsusb|grep -i open?

marckleinebudde commented

Use make flash-candleLight_fw to flash the firmware.

Edit: For a canable device use make flash-canable_fw.

looks good!

If it's a canable device better flash the canable firmware: make flash-canable_fw.

sorry, indeed new to this, but according to canable site, i also need to set the jumper or press the button, but i dont see any of those?

marckleinebudde commented

It should work without an extra jumper.

pergolafabio commented

ah ok, just unclear how to flash? i have downloaded the canable_fw file, as you can see? but the command gives an error?

Use some metal tweezers or unfold a paper clip.

just last question, if i use a tweezer or clip, do i need to connect it the while time?
Or is is enough to use the tweezer, then plugin usb , at that point , can i detach the tweezer?

marckleinebudde commented

Unplug USB, short pins, plug USB, then you can remove the tweezers/paperclip.
