Hi All,
During one of my debugging sessions I have received exception that explains Firmware may be corrupted and needed to be updated.
I have used wifi.UpdateFirmware() method in my code to update it but another exception thrown 5 seconds later.
After I have tried my debugging the application cannot shown Firmware version in the console screen when enabled.
I have tried complete FEZ Firmware update but it did not help also.
How can I recover RS9110 module on my Dev board.
Thanks in advance.
What exceptions are thrown? Can you show us a minimal example that reproduces the problem? Was your main code running fine and you randomly received that need to update message?
Hi John,
When I tried to make firmware update I see the debug messages below and ends with a timeout exception

After I receive this exception what ever I try I cannot connect to development board again until completely erasing und making tinybooter update by FEZConfig utility.
After FEZConfig operation I upload this siple program below
****** Post Update Application *****
public static void Main()
{
_wifi = new WiFiRS9110(SPI.SPI_module.SPI2, GHI.Hardware.G120.Pin.P1_10,
GHI.Hardware.G120.Pin.P2_11, GHI.Hardware.G120.Pin.P1_9);
_wifi.Open();
//_wifi.UpdateFirmware();
}
******* End of Post Update Application ******
I see the messages below in the debug output
***** Debug Output ******
RS9110 firmware version Number is
RS9110 driver version Number is 4.4.5
****** End of Debug Output ******
I cannot see firmware version as itshould be.
Did you try to call UpdateFirmware() after erasing and reflashing with FEZ Config?
Hi John,
Yes I have tried it after applying TinyBooter update through FEZConfig Utility. But it did not recover also.
My main question is if there is any way to apply a firmware update through RS9110 module directly to recover the module.
I have made some research but it was limited and I could not find anything usable. I can make some wire connections and try somethings out of Cobra Board itself.
Thanks and Regards,
@ AtillaBilgic -
If that comes from MFDeploy then it can be no problem, because sometime MFDeploy eats some your characters. 
Hi Dat,
All the outputs are coming from Visual Studio Immediate Window. I have also another board and it is running as it should be.
Thanks and Regards,
Atilla
