difficulty updating firmware on mac #45

Open Michael6777 opened 3 years ago

Michael6777 commented 3 years ago

I have tried to follow the guide but I have been unable to get the new firmware working and would really appreciate some help. I have used Brew to download by running 'brew install dfu-util' in terminal. That appeared to work. I have downloaded the new firmware to the desktop and to the micro sd card. When I past the command into terminal for the update I get the following error message: dfu-util: Could not open file /path/to/duckypad_firmware.dfu for reading: No such file or directory

Should i be saving the new firmware to somewhere different? Any ideas?

Thank you

the /path/to/duckypad_firmware.dfu part should be the actual path name of the firmware.

So in macOS is could be something like ~/Downloads/duckypad_v0.16.0.dfu, of course you do need to make sure yourself.

There are some tutorials about how to use macOS terminals, it would be useful to take a look, here's one example.
