AgitatedBrit Posted May 31, 2014 at 03:14 PM Share Posted May 31, 2014 at 03:14 PM Hi all, I received my IOT starter kit today and after initially getting it working I tried to update the master brick firmware. I put it into bootloader mode and connected it up, but my computer will not recognise the device, and Windows shows a prompt that the device has malfunctioned. There are no indicator lights on on the device, and the device does go away in device manager when I unplug it. However, I am unable to install the drivers in the Brickv install location as Windows says the folder does not contain a suitable driver for my device. Can anyone offer any advice on this?

The only thing that I did differently was disconnect the USB cable and remove and reseat the ethernet module on top. Then everything started working again. I hope someone else finds this post useful.

Loetkolben Posted May 31, 2014 at 10:41 PM Share Posted May 31, 2014 at 10:41 PM Yes, you can only update the Masterbirck WITHOUT Ethernetextension. Sorry, "hidden" in documentation: My Brick doesn't show up as serial port for flashing @Tinkerforge: Could you please add a Note/PopUp in Brickviewer when flashing Masterbrick, like "Have you removed Ethernetextension?". This Topic appears time by time. Der Loetkolben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
