Zumspot 2018 version

[G6JUP]

When attempting to update a Zumspot firmware to latest firmware with the command sudo pistar-zumspotflash rpi it responds with command not found.

it will do, I removed the old update commands, try the new one pistar-modemupgrade

This excellent tool was written by Chip Cuccio (W0CHP) not me, so all credit to him please.

Code: Select all

pi-star@pi-star-dstar(ro):~$ sudo pistar-modemupgrade

I just ran it on a Pi Zero 2W running Pi-Star 4.2.0 with a HS_HAT clone on it and it happily updated it to v1.6.1 without any problems.

What TCXO is used on the Zumspot V0. 4

[MW0MWZ]

All the early MMDVM_HS stuff is 14MHz, 12MHz shows up but it's farly rare.

However Zumspot doesn't have an option, and DO make sure you flash Zumspots with Zum firmware and not the MMDVM_HS or generic.

The command sudo wpsd-modemupgrade zum_rpi reports back command not found.

I used the new FW tool to update the firmware using new tool which was successful, thanks another brilliant pi-star innovation.

Well, you need to thank Chip W0CHP for it, it's been generously shared (I know, open source) so that Pi-Star benefits from it.

Indeed it is the tool Chip wrote and he deserves all the credit, it is NOT a pistar innovation (this time).

Though worth mentioning... Whilst we did borrow the tool 'the gui part and its idea" the actual firmware update procedure is still what we used prior in pistar (Originally we used a cli command to kick of the install script) The gui part is what we borrowed, the back end and the firmware handling is still PS we didnt want to use the firmware he makes available as he tags it, and we thought that wouldnt be correct, instead the firmware that PS uses is pulled from source, either Andy or Jonathan and the extra sauce we added will even push a f/w update when/if we add new bins so you should always have a matched pair. So We only really borrowed the tool and the idea of how he does it. And after all that he does still get a mention on the actual dashboard page where youll be using the tool.
