Trouble flashing Firmware & Solution..

Post by wnpeugh »

Boris, First things, I am very happy with you product. THANK YOU... Purchased it through ambient weather a couple of years ago, works great with my Oregon Scientific WMR-200

Second, I am setting up another meteohub for myself, starting from scratch...
I had some issues and though you might want to know what worked for me...
I am working on a Mac system.
Bought a NSLU-2, apparently used but in working condition. Had trouble flashing the firmware..
The Firmware in the NSLU-2 was V2.3R72.... Got the low memory error... tried to flash is down to the R63 but got the same problem.. On the NSLU-2 forum I found some comments about having a drive plugged in to give it more memory.. so tried a USB stick, but the NSLU-2 wouldn't format that. Tried a HDD (55GB), the NSLU-2 recognised and formated that to it's own format. Then I was able to directly flash the meteohub firmware image...

O.K, after flashing that had some issues with the 4GB stick image, apparently got a partial download.. after fixing that and redownloading, I had no problem with your instructions letting the device expand the RAR directly onto the 4GB stick...

So, my final problem...
Meteohub apparently is loaded normally, I get the license agreement.. BUT it says the trial has already expired. Your web site says it is good to October 31, 2011....
