I give my CF burn BOOTLOADER firmware (CF's board red led have every 1 second flashing), but I can't pass the CLIENT " initate bootloader cold boot " to connect to the CF to upgrade the application. .........Client display :" status : connection timeout "
===============================================================
INFO: cfclient. UI. Dialogs. Bootloader: Connected in coldboot mode failed
When I connect the CF has been discovered in the client, as follows
INFO: cflib CRTP. Radiodriver: v0.52 dongle with serial N/A found
===============================================================
Whether the link went wrong Or CF work in the bootloader mode ? ?

The following is the screenshots I compile crazyflie bootloader
programming CF BOOTLOADER
programming CF BOOTLOADER
Still unable to connect successfully, but there is a new found that want to correct my problem, CF red leds and green leds packed in CF BOOLLOADER after startup, flashing in them! (1 hz)... According to the CF related LED instructions, whether my CF in the charging mode?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
When the USB is connected:
Green LED
Charging: Blinking at 1 Hz with a duty cycle showing the 'charge level. The longer on time the more charged the' is.
Fully charged, the LED steady lit
Red LED
The System alive: 1 Hz heart beat

When USB is not connected: (Whether I should go into such a state, so I was able to UPDTAE FW?)
Green LED
Radio communication: LED blinks for every packet received. When the LED starts to blink slower this indicates that the radio reception is getting bad
Red LED
System alive: 1 Hz heart beat
Sensors calibrated: 2 Hz heart beat. Crazyflie now ready to fly.
Charging needed: Red LED steadily lit. “Fly back to base!”

But I do not connect USB. Also please give a reply! The TKS:)

Hi,

Did you follow the instructions on the wiki and press Initiate bootloader before you power on the Crazyflie?

YES........i follow the instructions .

To update the firmware in the Crazyflie do the following:

Make sure that the Crazyflie is disconnected from the client and powered off
Go to the menu Crazyflie→Bootloader
Click “Initiate bootloader cold boot”
Power on the Crazyflie within 5 seconds using the battery (not USB), the booloader should now connect
Press “Browse” and select the binary you want to download (e.g. cflie.bin)
Press “Program” and wait
Press “Restart in firmware mode

What operating system are you running? If you open the cfclient and open the about box from the menu and go into the debug tab while the Crazyradio is connected what does it output for the radio driver?

Did you have any problem installing the Crazyradio driver? Can you try to reinstall it?
