LimesuitGUI does not work either

program failed either T_T

Help me plz,thanks a lot!

I think you will need the new version of Limesuite to update it.

i’ve used Windows LimeSuit, it’s the latest version ,but it has the same error

LimeUtil --update response is this

I think you will need an Ubuntu user to help you from here, as I am not a user. I do not know how to do the FW/FPGA update on there.

Ed

thanks anyway

You know how to do update in Windows? i’ve tried Windows LimeSuitGUI, error is the same (this is screenshot from ubuntu, but windows is same like this)


If you go to the USB chip manufacturer’s website, they have a tool to update it. I am waiting on the percolator for coffee. Once properly awake, I should remember.

Ed

Also, when LimeUtil is expecting V2, I think your Limesuite is out of date. I think it is on V4 now, but not sure. I will dig mine out & check that for you.

Ed

okay,waitting for you awake :joy: and tell me the URL to download the update tool.My limesuit version is
** Build timestamp: 2019-05-13** ,i dont know if it’s out of date.

Cypress FX3 USB microcontroller

Is this the tool?

Yes, it is. I was at Spruce, as I knew it was a tree…
The tool allows you to fully reprogram the firmware & FPGA & is foolproof.
My Limesuite is from 6-9-2019 & I bet there is a newer one, too.
