Open TX 2.0 and a 9XR (not the pro)

[AKfreak]

I have looked everywhere and cant find any information on how to flash my stock 9XR (not the pro) with the latest Open tX firmware via the Open TX 2.0 companion. I was able to create and download a firmware in Open TX 2.0 comp., it was 9XR with only DSM checked. When I tried to flash the radio, I got an avrdude error.

Most 9XR, except early ones have a 128 chip and need the appropriate firmware.

I did that and got the same warning. I downloaded the 9Xr 128. I am stumped

[bertrand35]

This parameter is not right:
-p m64

[AKfreak]

I bought as new USBASP and we will see if that is the problem. It should work. I tried again with the 9Xr 128 software, still no go.

Also I am on a 64X machine

-p m64

What Bertrand is trying to tell you is that you have to change the settings in companion to a atmega128 (m128). At the moment you have it configured to m64 and that doesn't work. Nothing to do with your 64X machine

In the first post, you have a completely bad signature being read. You probably need to slow the programming clock down, but that USBASP also has the "cannot set sck" error so won't do that.
Does the new USBASP also give the "cannot set sck" error?

Mike.

I have not got the new one yet. I went in OPEN TX 2.0 and built new firmware 9XR with the atmega128 . I got a similar error. I will wait for the new adapter and see whats happening. I have used that USBASP adapter for many other devices (naze 32 boot loader). AlexMos Gimbal controller, KK boards and it works as it should.

Check that the throttle cut switch is in the down position when flashing.

I get that same error when my switch is in the up position.

Sorry what is down. I have it flipped away from the face of the radio.

[ReSt]

Mixed it up with the Tg9y. But may be worth a try also on a 9xr ??.

ok I got a brand new Usbasp from 9Xrprogrammer.com. It's called the Usbasp Deluxe, and below is the error I got when I tried to copy the firmware off of the radio in open TX 2.0

whoo i got it finally

[rperkins]

Glad you got it going.
Just want to comment that you probably figured out the dfu-util is not used with usbasp programming. Looking further into your command line it mentions Taranis which does use dfu-util. So my quess is you needed to change the setting in 'opentx companion' to reflect that you have a '9x' based radio and not a 'Taranis' based radio.
