Unable to flash Respeaker Lite firmware!

#1

Hi

Following the Wiki instruction I try to update the flash program of the respeaker lite itself (not the ESP) but it doesn’t work.
dfu-util sees the device but can’t access it. I have rebooted after doing the modifications indicated by wiki for usb access in linux !

vincen@fixe:~/Bureau$ dfu-util -e -a 1 -D ffva_ua_v2.0.5.bin
dfu-util 0.11

Side note: the board doesn’t show up as audio interface in Linux although it should according at documentation.

Thanks

Hello Vincèn, looks like something related to permissions, can you try sudo dfu-util -e -a 1 -D ffva_ua_v2.0.5.bin?

Hi @Jessie1_SenseCAP

Thanks a lot and didn’t think it would need root rights, now it’s all good :ok_hand: I have submitted a modification at wiki to correct the Linux part of it :wink:
Also why do you offer a version 1.0.5 and 2.0.5 of respeaker lite fw in Wiki ?

Hi Vincèn,
ffva_ua_v2.0.5 is the firmware for USB usage, and ffva_i2s_v1.0.5 is for I2S usage(used with XIAO-ESP32S3, QT Py…)
