UZB Firmware Update from 5.07 to 5.27 fails

[rafale77]

Depends on whether or not you need fixes or features from the new firmware...

5.07 is definitely not the latest version

Thanks, but can I be sure my stick supports it? Since Zway comes not with the update out of it's own....
If needed I can post my stick characteristics. I updated to 5.07 without problems.

[rafale77]

Update: I used the UZB updater from here: https://z-wave.me/support/uzbrazberry-firmwares/
And managed to finally update my firmware to 5.36.

What is odd is that there is no release note for 5.36 but there is one for 5.37 which is not available from the map?

Look at the link above... It links to a page which shows the map of all the firmware versions.

I decided not to upgrade further since the higher firmware upgrades are not on the "active" map. Neither do I need the newer features like "smart start". I do nog want to risk any bad flash, since I more or less depend on my home Zwave network. Thanks for replies so far...

Would be nice to get all needed files - if you have it in your history...
If I understand right - you made this way (of course with UZB port...):

Code: Select all

 Download the ZMESerialUpdater tool
wget https://z-wave.me/download/ZMESerialUpdater.tgz
tar -zxvf ZMESerialUpdater.tgz 
cd ZMESerialUpdater/arm/
chmod +x ZMESerialUpdater 

# Download firmware upgrade files you need
# To browse files see https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb-stats/versions-graph.html and click on nodes to get file names
wget https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb/bootloader_Razberry_from_05_04_to_8aaa_2MB.bin
wget https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb/UPD_FIRMWARE_Razberry500_from_05_04_to_05_07.bin
wget https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb/UPD_FIRMWARE_Razberry_from__05_07__to__05_17.bin

# Do the update and frequency change
./ZMESerialUpdater serialapi_uzbupdate -d /dev/ttyAMA0 -b bootloader_Razberry_from_05_04_to_8aaa_2MB.bin -f UPD_FIRMWARE_Razberry500_from_05_04_to_05_07.bin
./ZMESerialUpdater serialapi_uzbupdate -d /dev/ttyAMA0 -f UPD_FIRMWARE_Razberry_from__05_07__to__05_17.bin
./ZMESerialUpdater serialapi_freq -d /dev/ttyAMA0 ANZ

Can you tell us what files were used for Upgrading from 5.07 to latest version for UZB stick?

Code: Select all

wget https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb/bootloader_Razberry_from_xx_yy_to_zz.bin
wget https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb/UPD_FIRMWARE_Razberry_from__xx_yy__to__aa_bb.bin
...

Thanks!

Tchuess Michael,

I just followed the map and it depends on where you start from.
First download the tool as you did
then decompress it with tar as you did and go to the platform you are using. I did mine on a ubuntu micro PC so it was x64 not arm.
then I went here:
https://service.z-wave.me/expertui/uzb- ... graph.html

and picked "uzb all"
looked up the firmware/bootloader version I am on looking for a path to 5.36. Click on the dot for each firmware version to see what possible next step is.
I was on 5.23/29304 for example and my path was:
first upgrade bootloader to 40196: UPD_bootloader_UZB500_from__05_17_to_9D04.bin
then upgrade firmware to 5.27: UPD_FIRMWARE_UZB_STATIC_2ch_ZME_05_17_04000001_ZME_05_1b_04000001.bin
then to 5.36: UPD_FIRMWARE_UZB_STATIC_2ch_ZME_05_1b_04000001_ZME_05_24_04000001.bin

bootloader and firmware upgrades use different commands. Beware.

Hi rafale77,

I had the same problem as all above.

My UZB-Stick status was 5.23/29304, so I tried to upgrade bootloader to 40196 with file UPD_bootloader_UZB500_from__05_17_to_9D04.bin
But the upgrade procedure with

Code: Select all

ZMESerialUpdater serialapi_uzbupdate -b UPD_bootloader_UZB500_from__05_17_to_9D04.bin -d /dev/ttyACM0

took me always back to 5.23/29304, even with

Code: Select all

chmod 666 /dev/ttyACM0

.

Is there any solution in sight ?
Thanks in advance,
Nik

Hi,

Anything have changed about the issue ?
I’m encountering the exact same thing .

I also encountered JP frequency switch issue ( from EU) during the upgrade journey before being stuck with boot loader 29304/7278.

I can provide traces and détails if needed.

Thank you in advance ,

Regards

This is a point of confusion. The filename uses hex digits and the UI uses decimal digits. You already have the most recent firmware (0x17 = 23 decimal).

As for changing the frequency, you can download a shell script from Z-Wave.Me: https ://z-wave.me/download/changezwf.sh

Once downloaded, run from shell command line: chmod 755 changezwf.sh; ./changezwf.sh /dev/ttyACM0 EU

Hi, i'm well aware about the Hex to Dec conversion..

the issue is related to the fact it's not possible to upgrade to another version in order to also support a more new firmware version ( like 5.27, 5,37, 5.39 ).

The boot loader upgrade is quiet disturbing, it's like it's working but at the end the version dont change.

Can you please help me and tell me which boot loader and firmware file i should use to upgrade to 5.37 firmware from 5.23 firmware/29304 boot loader ?

Thank you in advance for your help !
