Program-dfu: Error 74

LeoW · June 14, 2015, 8:39pm

Hi, here is the error I get when I run the command “make program-dfu”:

Claiming USB DFU Interface...
Setting Alternate Setting #0 ...
Determining device status: state = dfuIDLE, status = 0
dfuIDLE, continuing
DFU mode device DFU version 011a

make: *** [program-dfu] Error 74

Any ideas what the problem is? I am compiling on Mac OS.

When I run command "make program-dfu" PLATFORM=photon, I get this error:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `../../../build/target/user/platform-6-m-lto/src/libuser.a', needed by `../../../build/target/user-part/platform-6-m-lto/user-part.elf'.  Stop.
make: *** [modules/photon/user-part] Error 2

UPDATE: I ran both "make" and "make program-dfu" with "PLATFORM=photon" and it says the file downloaded successfully but gives both errors afterwards:

does your code run after DFU?

LeoW · June 21, 2015, 6:57am

Yep, the code runs! It was a mistake on my part for not making and flashing with PLATFORM=photon Thanks!

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 6:16am

Can you shared what commands you used to fix the Error 74 and Error 2?

I'm using "make PLATFORM=photon clean all program-dfu" and still getting these two errors.

kennethlimcp · August 1, 2015, 6:18am

Is the Photon in DFU-mode? Watch the terminal and see that download (progress bar) is done to tell that it’s programmed

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 6:24am

Yeah it is DFU mode (yellow LED blinking), this is what I get:

make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/Particle/firmware/modules/photon/user-part'
make: *** [modules/photon/user-part] Error 2

My code in firmware/user/src/application.cpp is this

/* Includes ------------------------------------------------------------------*/
#include "application.h"
SYSTEM_MODE(AUTOMATIC);
/* This function is called once at start up ----------------------------------*/
void setup()
{
    pinMode(D7,OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(D7,HIGH);
}

/* This function loops forever --------------------------------------------*/
void loop()
{
    delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(D7,HIGH);
    delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(D7,LOW);
}

But the LED doesn’t blink.

So it's done. Are you compiling locally? Did you update the system firmware if you are compiling locally?

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 6:30am

I used

dfu-util -d 2b04:d006 -a 0 -s 0x8020000 -D system-part1-0.4.3-photon.bin
dfu-util -d 2b04:d006 -a 0 -s 0x8060000:leave -D system-part2-0.4.3-photon.bin

and my firmware code is from the "latest" branch. Is this correct?

kennethlimcp · August 1, 2015, 6:38am

Sounds right. Where is your user firmware placed?

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 6:51am

I tried placing it under "firmware/user/src/application.cpp" and uploading it with

make PLATFORM=photon clean all program-dfu

I also tried placing it under "firmware/user/applications/test/application.cpp" and uploading it with

make PLATFORM=photon APP=test clean all program-dfu

I ran these commands from the "firmware/main" directory

The way I updated my firmware was by navigating to the "firmware/modules" directory and using

make PLATFORM=photon clean all program-dfu

Edit: The LED breaths magenta when I upload code.

kennethlimcp · August 1, 2015, 7:02am

Ok i know what’s wrong now.

You need to use the system firmware built using the latest code.

cd modules
make clean all PLATFORM=photon APP=test program-dfu
You only need to do the above once. After that,
cd main
make all PLATFORM=photon APP=test program-dfu

Have fun

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 7:33am

I followed the steps and the terminal did not give any errors but the code is still not running i.e. the device is breathing magenta after I upload the app from main.

After that I’m able to flash code from the cloud IDE but not locally via dfu it seems (even though I get the “Download [=========================] 100%” message).

kennethlimcp · August 1, 2015, 7:35am

Breathing magenta means the Photon is connected to the but no user firmware is running - Safe mode

I wonder if there’s issues with the building of user firmware locally.

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 7:38am

Yeah, I read that in another one of your posts And like I said I am able to upload code from the cloud afterwards (so I guess the local firmware I upload is working but the app/user code isn't?)

kennethlimcp · August 1, 2015, 7:40am

try doing this:

cd main
make clean all PLATFORM=photon APP=tinker program-dfu

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 7:46am

Same result: breathing magenta.

After this I tried to upload using “particle flash device_name tinker.bin” from the CLI and still breathing magenta. I guess the user binaries might not be building correctly.

kennethlimcp · August 1, 2015, 7:47am

Yup totally. Im guessing about the CRC issue… Are there any errors when you build the user firmware?

Place the Photon in Listening mode, open a serial terminal and hit “s” then paste the output here.

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 7:53am

No.

Here's the output:

"p":6,"m":[
	{"s":16384,"l":"m","vc":30,"vv":30,"f":"b","n":"0","v":3,"d":[]},

	{"s":262144,"l":"m","vc":30,"vv":28,"f":"s","n":"1","v":3,"d":[]},

	{"s":262144,"l":"m","vc":30,"vv":28,"f":"s","n":"2","v":3,"d":
		[{"f":"s","n":"1","v":3,"_":""}]},
	{"s":131072,"l":"m","vc":30,"vv":28,"u":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","f":"u","n":"1","v":2,"d":
		[{"f":"s","n":"2","v":3,"_":""}]},
	{"s":131072,"l":"f","vc":30,"vv":30,"u":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","f":"u","n":"1","v":2,"d":
		[{"f":"s","n":"2","v":1,"_":""}]}
]

Edit:

I'm pulling from the "latest" branch and my code is up to date.

kennethlimcp · August 1, 2015, 7:55am

It’s interesting that the user firmware is on v:2 when you are using the latest which is v:3 but user code should will work and run.

What happens when you flash code via OTA through Web IDE?

AllAboutEE · August 1, 2015, 7:59am

I'm able to flash through the Web IDE (and the code I give works), just not through the CLI or DFU (even though I don't get any errors and the photon acts like it was flashed i.e. blinking magenta and reset).

I'm going uninstall and reinstall my local tools again Unless you have some other ideas?Something might have gone wrong. But thanks for the fast and great support
