Bridge dead?
Our bridge's network LED won't light up anymore, nor does it show up in Bonjour Browser. I triple-checked the cable/connection and that's all working perfectly.
Does the bridge ping an external service to check if it's connected, could that be down? Did it just brick itself? Anything I can try on the hardware side of things? I already opened it up (nice and clean little board btw) and noticed 2 switches, RESET & SW1.
Now that I got I just got it working again on the software side of things, it would be sad that the hardware just failed on me :disappointed:
Any help/pointers would be appreciated!
Colleague of @bskrt here! I hooked up our bridge to a serial console and it seems the flash / image got corrupted.

Is a re-flash necessary? Or does this point more towards a hardware problem?

I don't know if this ever got answered/sorted, but I had my LP working for about two hours and then the upstream and downstream lights just stopped being lit and it all went offline. Now, nothing. I'm assuming it's bricked, but unsure.
I'm not technically-minded but I can follow instructions. Any way to reset the bridge or is it dead and gone for good?
Any help appreciated, or even a "nope, can't help!" would be cool :-)
@purplesime Our bridge is still dead too. I guess @genmon is the only one who could enlighten us on this one.
@purplesime Just to be sure, did you update your bridge as described here? Also, does the Ethernet LED light up?
@anneris I actually had it working on my Pi for about two hours and then suddenly the bridge became unresponsive. I unplugged the ethernet (which still lights up when plugged in) and powered it off. Once powered back on, ethernet led and power led come on, downstream flashes and then nothing.
I don't know why it might have stopped, but having determined it's not a software issue I'm left with the suggestion that it's a hardware fail.
Hi there -- the nature of the Bridge hardware is pretty much beyond me. But from what's being said above, this does sound like hardware failure.
I'm half-remembering old conversations here, but I think there's an intrinsic risk in corrupting the internal Flash storage whenever it is unlocked (??) to change what's stored? Like updating the software or changing where the Bridge points. This is an old memory, but maybe this is what's happened here. If it's corrupted, I don't know if there's anything that can be done... the kit to make new Bridges or put new software onto them is no longer around.
@genmon Thanks for the update. It does sound like like that's the case. Shame. I might see if I can find someone who has a bridge they don't want and try again.
What I will say is, as someone who isn't technical, getting it working, even for a short period of time, was really good fun.
@purplesime @genmon After applying the update about 9 months ago, my bridge has bitten the dust and got bricked :( I'll shelve the printer for now until I find another bridge online somewhere.
Any news here? I got the firmware update by genmon and everything worked fine some years ago. Now i tried to bring my printer back to life (because new application & stuff). But now the Ethernet light won't turn on anymore. Did anybody had the same issues (and knows how to fix it)?
Sadly, mine just died too, same thing, I was using it quite a lote lately with the ios app Nord made, but now it just wont light any other light than the power one, I'll try to test the hardware, but its probably the flash unit. I would love to buy a bridge if anyone is interested on sell one.
Yeah, I just connected got the USB adaptor and the message its basically the same
uncorrectable error :
mtd->read(0x4e5 bytes from 0x878c90) returned ECC error
So, I'll try to reflash it, I'll post some updates.
Hey everyone. I am also seeing the same with the Kernel being corrupt:

So I have two questions:
- can we reflash the corrupt images? I did wonder whether it was possible to contact 'telegesis' who see to have developed the SoC originally and ask whether we can reflash... Am I sniffing in the right direction?
- Are we not at a point where we can bypass the bridge altogether? If I read around correctly it looks like the it might be possible to communicate directly to the printer itself using ZigBee? https://github.com/pipt/little-printer-payload-inspector
I been trying to use the bridge as it is, but Ive got random responses, sometimes it loads the uboot and sometimes it doesn't.
So, I opened the actual printer and found out the thermal printer is a generic APS ELM205-HS mechanism, so I'm planing to connect it to a raspberry zero and go from there.
As to bypass the bridge, I would love to see that happens, I'll try to connect a TTL to the printer board, and see what I get. Maybe it needs some sort of hardware key? Anyone knows about that?
@royletron were you able to solve this at all? I have the exact same issue with ERROR: can't get kernel image!
I flashed my bridge a couple of years ago and it was working fine up until a few months ago. Only the power light comes on, no Upstream or Downstream at all.
The serial console prints out the following when powered up but then nothing else:

Adding here in case anyone comes up with any solutions. I'm currently wondering if it'd be possible to access the processor another way to read the contents of the flash storage. 🤷
