Turnigy 9XR Pro and FrSky R-XSR Receiver Firmware Update
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 8:54 pm
Hi,
I tried to use Turnigy 9XR Pro with latest available R221g1 to update firmware on FrSky R-XSR receiver, following the steps from the PDF on this forum. Because of the 12V Vbat on the module pin, I used external power with GND and Vin connected (Vin was with the switch in-between, as per instructions).
GND was also connected to the module pin. The S.Port was connected to the bottom module pin as well.
After seeing searching for device during procedure, I turned on the switch to power on the receiver and the firmware update started but stopped immediately on 0087 of XXXX. I left it for couple of minutes but it didn't move at all so I aborted the procedure. The RX was "broken" at this point. After powering it on, only the green LED was lit. I tried to repeat the procedure couple of times but with same results - stop on 0087 and nothing further. For some reason, after one failed update the RX started to have different LED pattern after powering it on -> brief green LED flash followed with couple of seconds of blue LED over and over again, like it was rebooting itself all the time.
Today I used friends Taranis 9XD to update that same receiver, similar connections without external power because the Taranis had 7V battery. The firmware update was executed without any issues and the receiver is thankfully in working state now.
Is there any known problem updating the R-XSR in 9XR radio?
