Hi!

I am using XBee TRX Modules to connect my Notebook with my mbed. I have written programs to upload a program to mbed via XBee using LocalFileSystem to save the File. The Upload is working and the file is correct (I checked hash values). Then I reset the mbed with mbed_reset(), but the new software is not getting flashed. It is restetting as if there was no change. If I reset the mbed by hand there is still no new software running.

The only way I is to upload via USB File System. Is there an alternative way to tell mbed that there is new software available?

i think the only option via software at this point is to delete all other .BIN files. unfortunately the file system implementation doesnt use or allow for modification of timestamps.

I have tried to delete all bin files by hand, but still no new software. Only when I upload a new File via USB it is getting flashed on reset.

Is it possible to flash the mbed manually? Not by bootloader.

all BUT the firmware you want to load? hmm, i have a similar system over HTTP that works fine. there is also this but i found it to be unreliable and messy.

AFAIK, it's possible to upload a binary and i imagine it's likely you can execute it. i cant positively answer this one though. if your mbed resets though, the "magic" will overwrite anything so make sure you at least have some normally flashed binary acting as a bootloader.

Yes thanks chag! Deleting all Binaries and using another name for the new Firmware solved the problem!
