So, the net takeaway here is, if you are building and flashing for Crazyflie 1 using the VM 0.6 and Eclipse, you need to edit both the "make CLOAD" target and "Flash using radio" targets by adding "PLATFORM=CF1". Alternatively, you could just create copies of both those targets, edit the copies, and rename them to something indicative of being for Crazyflie 1.

I hope my longwinded explanations helps more than hinders!

Thanks for clarification!

Copied, renamed and added PLATFORM=CF1 in the eclipse targets. Now the "Make CLOAD" and the "Flash using radio" looks ok for me:

But nevertheless the same situation: only blue led is on!

I did "Update all projects" in VM 0.6, but the date of the build source looks not so good: 2014.12.1-39!?

@ahuber1: how did you "switch the to the right repository." ?

Hi thessy,

If you're on the VM, the crazyflie-firmware repository clone is on the "crazyflie2" branch. You'll need to switch to master branch for the PLATFORM=CF1 to have any meaning. To that pop open a terminal window and enter the following:

Code: Select all

cd ~/projects/crazyflie-firmware
git checkout master
git pull
make clean

Then you should be able to do the build in Eclipse like before but end up with the right firmware!

Thank you, and to you too ahuber1. I went back to review your posts and I believe I've found your problem. I should have caught it earlier but I wasn't paying close enough attention to what you wrote. Shame on me!

Anyway, you are flashing your Crazyflie with the Crazyradio, right? Your problem is in your compile variables. If you want to make a firmware build that can be flashed from using the Crazyradio (i.e. Over-The-Air or, OTA) you must use CLOAD=1. Yours is set to CLOAD=0 which won't flash OTA.

So, to use the Crazyradio to flash:

Code: Select all

make PLATFORM=CF1 CLOAD=1

-or-

Code: Select all

make PLATFORM=CF1

To use a debugger to flash:

Code: Select all

make PLATFORM=CF1 CLOAD=0 DEBUG=1

The CLOAD=0 that you were using resulted in the different md5 checksum. If you use CLOAD=1 the hash will be the same as the one I posted (for the same checkout - of course) and the flashed firmware will work.

Try it out! That should solve your problem. Everything else you're doing it correct.

Great! CF1 is working again.

Thanks for helping.

Shame on me
I was thinking CLOAD does automatically try to flash the copter

Thanks a lot chad.
