Hey Guys,

Sry for my bad english, but I hope you can help me :slight_smile:

I just play around with a testboard and now wants to flash the hole flash dump ( backup.bin) back to the chip. I tried it with extracting the dump and than flash_all_files - getting the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/cc3200tool”, line 33, in
sys.exit(load_entry_point(‘cc3200tool==1.2.3’, ‘console_scripts’, ‘cc3200tool’)())

cc3200tool.cc.CC3200Error: No ack for packet opcode=0x21

I figured out, that the servicepack.ucf in sys is the problem - without it I can flash all the files…the box comes up with normal green light an than is only blinking red - by pressing one of the ears you can hear, that the volume changed.

Is there a way to flash the hole backup.bin?

You cannot flash a file based backup to restore a box, as it is incomplete.

Please use the write_flash command
