Error "No DFU capable USB device found" solved.

[ramminger]

Hello to everybody,

I am new in the Autoquad world. I own a M4 Board for 2 Weeks. Now i wanted to flash the Board with the newest Firmware. But the howto in the Wiki didn´t help. The driver installation worked well, but i got always the error "no DFU capable USB device found". I use a rather new I7 Windows 7/64 Computer with only USB 3.0 Ports.

Now i searched the i-net and found a solution. It may be, that the dfu-util Programm is a bit to old and cannot handle my Intel USB Chipset.

I found in an Intel forum an link to an newer dfu-util programm.

Then i replaced the dfu-util programm in the QGroundControl.

And yippieeee it worked. The Update to the latest Firmware worked perfekt.

I hope this little guide will help if anybody have the same trouble.


Regards

Ulrich

Yep, thx for your tinkering, Ulrich!

And welcome to AutoQuad - it´s always nice when guests bring something to the party.

I´ve added a note and a link to the Wiki. Once Max has tested the new dfu-util.exe he´ll certainly replace it.
We need to check downwards compatibility first.

Hello,

thank you for the flowers in the morning.

It wasn´t easy to find a fresh compiled dfu-util in the web, and which is not infected with anythig bad surprise.

Regards

Hi Ulrich, welcome and thanks for letting us know.

I'm wondering if you had tried the official version of dfu-util also? http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/release ... 2-mingw32/

This is v0.8, while with QGC only v0.7 is included. I'm wondering if this is the difference.

Thanks,
-Max

Hi Ulrich,

could you do us a favour and try the latest official dfu-util v0.8?
http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/release ... 2-mingw32/
Since you were the first one with these problems (and chipset) you´d be my preferred candidate.

We´re currently using 0.7 so this might help. We don´t want to use stuff from doubtful sources and put our users into risk.


Edit: Ahh, Max beat me...

Hello,

now i did some tests. Unfortunately did dfu-utl v0.8 not solve the problem.
I've copied the outputs here:

I think the last version is compiled with me unknown Options. The Code is much bigger.
Some words about my computer: Chipsatz: Intel HM87 • CPU: Intel Core i7-4770R, 4x 3.20GHz, 4MB Cache, 65W TDP • RAM: 2x DDR3 SO-DIMM, dual PC3L-12800S, 8GB (UDIMM) • Grafik: Intel Iris Pro Graphics 5200 (IGP)

Puh, that was a big post. I hope it will help a bit.

Hmmm, Ulrich. Sorry to say - but this doesn´t help a bit in your case.

Thx for your very detailed testing and reporting - perfect! Looks like you know what your doing.

Ok, so this will be a decision to make. I´ve let my bloodhounds sniff on the exe file and none barked at it.
At least we have a work-around for the desperate with similar problems. And we have a say for this: "Use at your own risk".

Thx again,

Norbert

This topic is solved, but sorry I can't find the solution
On my USB 3.0 it is not working: No DFU capable USB device available
If i change to an USB2 Port it's working...
