Hi to all just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction i recently updated the FW on my Zum Radio Board V1.0 with
sudo pistar-zumspotflash rpi
Which has updated to FW:20190130 i am not sure if this is the correct FW i should have installed although the things seem to be working okay, i have my doubts about some issues with the handshaking to open up the repeater i have built, if the repeater is open its fine but its the initial activation, i am kinda wondering if this is a firmware issue i thoroughly checked everything else if someone could let me know if this is the correct FW would be great, or should i be using something like FW:20180723 and can this be reinstalled after being updated TIA

Re: ZUM Radio Board V1.0
The ZUM Radio Board V1.0 takes different firmware than the ZUMspot. As far as I know, there isn't an automated Pi-Star script for updating the firmware of the ZUM Radio Board V1.0, so I think you'll need to contact the manufacturer.

Re: ZUM Radio Board V1.0
Hi Toshen,
you are using the wrong procedure!
What you have used will update a zumSPOT, not a zumRADIO Board!
For a zumRadio Firmware Update you have to follow this advice:
viewtopic.php?f=36&t=637&p=4729&hilit=z ... ware#p4729
There is just one stumbling stone left over:
- The Procedure above will update a version 0.9 Board with a STM32F4xx Chip in it,
- While the version 1.0 Board has a STM32F7xx Chip installed!
- That means, if you com down to the end of the Procedure, you have to replace two lines:
- "make pi" should become "make pi-f722"
- "sudo make deploy-pi" should become "sudo make deploy-pi-f7"
- Last Step is the same rebooting procedure "sudo reboot"
I havn't done the last steps by myslf (I own a STM32F4xx Board), but learned it from here:
viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1663&p=7218&hilit= ... ware#p7218
I do hope that it will be OK for you, and perform well as requested!
Good Luck!

Thanks for your post, Udo, but I think you addressed it to the wrong person.

Re: ZUM Radio Board V1.0
Yes.
Let me clarify:
The one mistake I may have made was in saying the "The ZUM Radio Board V1.0 takes different firmware than the ZUMspot." I actually don't know that. It may or may not use the same firmware, but there definitely is a different procedure that needs to be used from the one that is used for the ZUMspot. That's why I suggested contacting Jim, the manufacturer, to ask for the correct procedure.
Let me clarify:
The post is addressed to me.
I did not use any procedure. Because the OP tried to use the sudo pistar-zumspotflash rpi script, I simply said that "there isn't an automated Pi-Star script for updating the firmware of the ZUM Radio Board V1.0"
That's the same thing I said, just differently worded.
