Boot loader failure (solution)

wa6riv
I had an update failure this morning.

"MCU firmware file hmcu0311.hex verified
Reset K3 to enter Boot Loader"

In the Elecraft K3 Utility, I tested communications. "4800 bps"
I selected default. "Keep speed at 38,400 bps"
Load error occurred.
I reset my communications to 4800 bps and all worked fine.

Re: Boot loader failure (solution)

Dick Dievendorff
These messages don't indicate a failure.

The K3 Utility sent a command to the K3 to reset itself to enter the boot
loader.  It's a progress status message, not an error message.

I considered wording the message to "Resetting K3 to enter boot loader", but
I think I'll just remove the message instead.  

I apologize for any confusion.  

Dick, K6KR
