Crazyflie Firmware not loading correctly

Post by Triplevvv »

Hi,

I was trying to load the firmware onto my crazyflie, no changes to the firmware, using the Virtual machine. After I loaded onto the crazyflie using the cload command or the bootloader to load cflie.bin onto the crazyflie, it renders the quadcopter in a state where it is nonresponsive. the lights flash for a second, then just the blue light is on. The only way I can fix it is when I downloaded the newest version of firmware 2015.8 (or something like that). It lets the crazyflie start up. I really want to fix the firmware problem, though, otherwise I cannot make any changes to the firmware

Thank you

How are you building the firmware? It is important that you build with "make CLOAD=1" or it won't work with the wireless bootloader (wrong address space).

Thank you,

After I "make CLOAD=1", then do I use the client bootloader? Thanks

When I write "make CLOAD=1", it looks like it is compiling files, but that does not load the firmware on.

To load the firmware you should launch "make cload"
