SP-6 Firmware Update Failure
Posted: Fri Jul 07, 2023 1:07 am
Hello Board!
I’ve recently bought an aircraft with a MAG-2 and SP6 installed. The MAG2 only had version 1.0 firmware on it, so wanted to update it (mainly for the vertical compass display).
The MAG2 firmware has flashed across with no issues and tested OK with the SP6 (original firmware) plugged back in.
When I moved on to the SP6 upgrade, it didn’t go well!
I connected the SP6 testing app first to check I’d got the wiring right(!), and it was picking up data.
However, the subsequent upgrade resulted in “program write failed - please repeat”.
I did. Same thing.
Now the test app doesn’t see it, and just to be sure, neither does the MAG2 when plugged back.
Can this be rescued?
