Cannot uprgrading firmware

paolo

Hello,
When I run the command /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -i 0 I get this error
ARMINIT: Cannot open device /dev/unipispi
Unable to create the arm[0] context
What can I do? Thanks

that's my disto:
Linux L203-sn121 6.6.31-v8 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Jun 28 10:02:55 UTC 2024 aarch64

Hello,
Two issues there:

You need to run the command as root (with sudo)
-i parameter is not valid for unipi-kernel-modules >= 2.0, you need to use the -u parameter, see help with --help.

@cleve Thank you very much, but I don't understand what I should do next...
here's what I did:

unipi@L203-sn121:~$ sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -u 1
Boardset:     0 B-1000                         (v1.0)
Baseboard:    0 B-1000                         (v1.0)
Firmware: v5.3 (for 0-1)
PLEASE UPGRADE FIRMWARE TO 6.30 - to proceed, execute fwspi -P -U

And that :

unipi@L203-sn121:~$ sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -u 1 -P
Boardset:     0 B-1000                         (v1.0)
Baseboard:    0 B-1000                         (v1.0)
Firmware: v5.3 (for 0-1)
PLEASE UPGRADE FIRMWARE TO 6.30 - to proceed, execute fwspi -P -U
Cannot open file /opt/unipi/firmware/B-1000-1.bin

Hello @paolo,
just do as the command says, you need to add "-U" to upgrade the firmware from v5.x to v6.x.

Thank you @cleve
It works with

unipi@L203-sn121:~$ sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -u 1 -P -U
unipi@L203-sn121:~$ sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -u 2 -P -U
unipi@L203-sn121:~$ sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -u 3 -P -U
