DVMEGA upgrade from Pi-Star 4.1.4

Post by g4txk »

I have been trying to upgrade my DVMEGA single band hotspot using the flash from Pi-Star method.
But no matter how I try I get the same problem. I have seen there was an issue with 4.0.0. But I wondered if that had been solved.
I am trying to upgrade from HR2.28 to V 3.19. I get the following prints when I run the ./flash_gpio.sh command.

pi-star@pi-star(rw):dvmega$ sudo ./flash_gpio.sh

Found DVMEGA_RH_V319_UNO.hex firmware...
