Failed to make web request to get firmware-release

Post by steve »

When starting cfclient (on MacOS, installed via brew), I get the following in the terminal:

Code: Select all

WARNING:cfclient.ui.dialogs.bootloader:Failed to make web request to get firmware-release
WARNING:cfclient.ui.dialogs.bootloader:Failed to parse firmware-releases in web request
In bootloader I don't see anything in the 'available downloads' dropdown. This happens even when running sudo cfclient.

I assume these two are connected -- any ideas? Can't find anything here in search, and no luck looking for things that might block Python apps from accessing the web.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi!

We haven't really seen this before. Is this perhaps due to some restrictions of your network? Have you tried it with your wifi at home or at work/university?

It is also possible to get the releases here: https://github.com/bitcraze/crazyflie-release/releases and then use the tab 'from file'. but it would be good to figure out why it is not working for you.
