Sorry but, about the gateware update procedure

[K H]

Hello,

I'm trying to update the gateware for receiving 10 RX at the same time.

The update process finished with no problem.

But the firmware version does not update on the 'Radio Settings' menu.

I'm using Sparksdr ver-2.0.991.0 and it continue to display 7-3-2-5-4 on the firmware version. There is no change.

I changed Spartsdr to ver-2.0.33 but the same issue remains.

Sorry but this maybe a FAQ. Any suggestion welcome.

Hi, when I first got the HL2 and tried to update it to 10rx gateware I used a wireless bridge hook the radio up to my network, when I loaded and flashed the fw, it said ok after flashing but the problem was the same as yours, it still showed the same old fw number after flash completed, when I connected the radio with a wired connection directly to my main router and ran the update it worked on first try, as it was over 6 month ago I dont remeber if I used Sparksdr or SDRconsole (https://www.sdr-radio.com/download#Release) but if you after you connect the radio to your router stil dont get it to update with spark try that other program and see if you get it going :) 👍

Hi Mikael,

Thanks for info.

I try with SDR Console but the following message appeared.

It's difficult isn't it?

Now I've solved the issue by download from github again,

Maybe the file size was smaller when I met a trouble.

10 RX is nice but 'ep6' value increasing. But I don't know why?

My Follow up info...

I try 10 RX using RPi-4B but the ep6 value up to to over 60,000. And nothing decoded.

Rpi's load is always 100%!

I understood it's heavy load for RPi....Hi
