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’)())

raise CC3200Error(
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

Now i want to flash the original Bootloader back. I used ur command and made some adjustments. May this work?

cc3200tool COM5 --reset dtr --sop2 rts write_flash backup.bin

Best regards,
Sebastian

Update:*´
i used cc3200tool -p COM5 --reset dtr write_flash backup.bin to flash, but it stops after some time with

C:\Users\nebut>cc3200tool -p COM5 --reset dtr write_flash backup.bin

Sounds like unstable connection.
