K3 Firmware update question - k3fw3r68

[Gary Smith-2]

Hi,

I started the K3 utility and port 3 is connected at 38400 bps.

I just downloaded the most recent beta firmware, unzipped
k3fw3r68.rar, deleted the current filed from the beta folder, copied
the new files to the beta folder and assured it was the same folder
the utility was pointing at.

When I tell the utility to send all files to the K3 I get the
following contents in a pop up window.

---------------------------------------
MCU firmware file hmcu0368.hex verified
Sending firmware file hmcu0368.hex to MCU
Send MCU firmware failed at load address x0800
MCU firmware load failed
---------------------------------------

When I first looked at the utility it said I had version MCU 3.67
when I look at the utility now I see nothing Installed in the
"Installed in K3" column.

Turning the radio off & on I checked the version showing in the K3 &
it shows uC 03.67.


Trying again to update I get the same message as above.

Any suggestions of what need to do differently?

Thanks

73,
Gary

Out of curiosity I looked at some of the other tabs on the K3 utility
like configuration & calibration. All the buttons there were greyed
out. I went back to the Ports tab & deselected port 3 as mentioned
below & told it to select port 6 and then it recognized the existing
version & said 4800 bps instead of 38400 bps

I again tried to have the utility update the new firmware and it did
so as expected.

Interesting but it's worth remembering if someone encounters this
issue themselves.

Cheers,
