ZBDongle-E won't work after Update to 7.4.5

Open Viper780 opened this issue 11 months ago • 9 comments

I've updated my Dongle-E from 7.4.3 to NCP 7.4.5 and ZHA brings up an error

Screenshot 2024-12-23 002153

going back to ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.3.0-zbdonglee-115200.gbl or flashing zbdonglee_zigbee_ncp_8.0.2.0_sw_flow_115200.gbl worked.

I am aware of some issues with this build. However wont be able to look into until after xmas.

That message is very odd if you are sure you installed https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/blob/main/firmware_builds/zbdonglee/ncp-uart-hw-v7.4.5.0-zbdonglee-115200.gbl and not the corresponding RCP build.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Yes I'm sure (tripple checked) that I've used the NCP build. Right now I'm on 8.0.2 and it looks stable, so sticking with the latest stack

not for Zbdongle-E it doesnt support hw flow control.

@darkxst out of curiosity, why 7.x builds were named hw for this dongle? Was it just naming issue?

See this diff: https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/commit/9ae16bec538ea456f7dc677a5719293e2bd54956#diff-6d692c8d1f2a0fa4c91cf083a49eecdbb32c11a5b774ef8c594de996e9ffff28

why 7.x builds were named hw for this dongle?

Filenames were generated from the project name "ncp_uart_hw" for the old 7.4.x builder.

Sorry for hijacking this discussion, but also what's the reason for rolling back github pages for most of the dongles to v7? I have just updated to v8, and now I'm a bit concerned :) https://github.com/darkxst/silabs-firmware-builder/commit/a650408761535d4542b73804cd9885c7c417af2e#diff-6d692c8d1f2a0fa4c91cf083a49eecdbb32c11a5b774ef8c594de996e9ffff28

there was a possible issue with some firmware, but no issues with the zbdongle-e firmware. I will re-update the webflasher to v8.0.2 shortly.

Hi, an update on this? The latest available on the web flasher is still 7.4.4.0.
