This is an update to my 2.28 installation post: ESP32 – Si4732 ATS Mini: Firmware Upgrade 2.28 (Updated).
There’s a bit of a wrinkle with this installation that I didn’t have before. The method of storing settings has changed, which basically means that you lose your settings, including Wi-Fi credentials, after the update. Further, the radio will not boot automatically on power up the first time.
After completing the standard update (see my article linked above), power the radio off then while holding down the encoder wheel, turn it back on. This time you’ll see a message that the settings are being reset. Then release the wheel.
I’ve applied the update both to my V1, V3 and V3S radios.
For details on the changes in firmware 2.30, check out the release notes on GitHub.
FWIW I had the one same issue upgrading my three mini-SI4732 receivers from different versions to 2.33. Black screen after upgrade. Fortunately not bricked, still detected by computer.
I rolled back one of these to the version it was previously on i.e. 2.23, that revived it. I then proceeded to go up versions. All went fine up to 2.28, but black screen from 2.30 on.
Solution was to flash the ats-mini.ino.merged.bin image from 0x0 instead of the 3 usual images at 0x0, 0x8000 and 0x10000. I lost all my settings, but all three receivers were flashed successfully.
I have found no other reference to this issue. Weird, because again I had the same exact problem on three receivers of different generations.
Hi
I just got the new AMNVOLT V3S,
I opened it to verify chip – ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-MCN16R8,
the new QSPI FW 2.30 working great, thanks for update manual.
Thanks !
You should use the OSPI firmware.
Hi
How do you understand it ?
ESP32‑S3‑WROOM‑1 traditionally uses QSPI flash.
This article on Github says which to use:
https://esp32-si4732.github.io/ats-mini/flash.html#firmware-files
You said that you have ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-MCN16R8. The N16R8 uses OSPI.
If you go to Settings on your device and select the 3rd About page it will show the PRSAM value. The correct firmware will show something other than zero.
Update to OSPI working great, and see value on PSRAM, Thanks !
Cannot update from 2.28 – Error: Failed to execute ‘setSignals’ on ‘SerialPort’: Failed to set control signals.
Are you certain you selected the right serial port number? If you pick the wrong one, you can get errors like that.
