Having issues with updating my firmware - wonder if anyone has seen this and can suggest a solution.
My SP3 came with firmware 2012.05e. I had since flashed it to 2012.12, however i notice it has reset itself to 2012.5e in recent weeks. I am not sure why it reverted to older firmware.
I have today tried to flash 2012.12, which failed to take, then 2012.11, which also failed to take. In both cases, the processor seemed to go through the correct update steps, but on restart the firmware stayed at 2012.05e. The display stated loading of the firmware, processor switches off and recycles, then come back to life.
I am sure I had previously gotten 2012.12 to take - e.g. I had been able to use the "Global source" option from 2012.11, this setting has now disappeared.
From the "Status" page:
Error and status messages:
No User boot.hex
IntFlash reprogramed
Pic32 prog chksum OK
Number of Flash Write Cycles:
Internal (PIC32MXx): 7
External (25VFxx) : 96
Using firefox on windows 7 PC, though i am pretty certain this is not where the issues lie as the upgrade steps seem to happen correctly.
