I noticed this weekend that Elecraft had updated the firmware (not beta) back in February. So, today, I thought I would try to update mine.
However, it fails during the FPF load EVERY TIME: 17:12:09 K3 boot loader is ready for MCU firmware load. RS-232 38400 bps. 17:12:09 New firmware is available for your K3 17:12:17 K3 boot loader is waiting for MCU firmware load. 17:12:17 OS X Revision 10.9.2 17:12:21 Sending firmware file "hmcu0483b.hex" to MCU 17:13:49 Loaded MCU firmware revision 04.83 K3 responded with revision 04.83 17:13:49 MCU firmware load is complete 17:13:50 Erasing Flash Memory 17:13:54 Sending firmware file "hfpf0115.hex" to FPF 17:14:16 Send FPF firmware failed at load addresst 43 17:14:19 FPF firmware load failed 17:14:21 K3 MCU revision 04.83. RS-232 speed 38400 bps. 17:14:21 Ready As you can see, the MCU load works. However, once it gets to the “Sending firmware file “hfpf0115.hex” to FPF, it never makes any progress, and appears to time out after about 30 seconds. I’ve tried power cycling, and I must I have tried it a dozen times over. I would really like to be able to use my K3!! I’ve never had trouble with firmware updates before, and I’ve never even tried the beta firmware.
