This is a share of experience for new pie:)

we can update firmware through:
https://github.com/Nuand/bladeRF/wiki/U ... F-firmware

If you update the firmware to 2.0.0, after the update finished, you may meet the condition as following:
Both bladeRF-cli under Ubuntu and Windows , cannot identify the bladeRF device.
such as:
BladeRF-cli -i
will response that: no device found...(blablaba.., which happens on me yestarday)

If this happen, DO NOT panic, DO NOT warry about it.

Just download the bladeRF-win-installer-2016.05-rc2-alpha2.exe and install it onto windows, restart machine.
the bladeRF-cli will identify bladerf. Now you can down-grade it back to 1.9.0 or other firmware version.

I'm trying to downgrade the firmware from 2.0 so that I can use the bladeRF in Linux and Windows. I downloaded the image but get a checksum error:

Code: Select all

bladeRF> flash_restore C:\Users\Kevin\Downloads\bladeRF_fw_v1.9.0.img

  Error: Invalid checksum
Am I doing something wrong?
