Issues with firmware/protocol after updating the OS to Ubuntu 20.04

Anant_Rai · September 23, 2022, 10:30pm

Hi

We recently upgraded our Stretch RE1 to Ubuntu 20.04 following the instructions on: https://github.com/hello-robot/stretch_install/blob/master/docs/robot_install.md

After performing REx_firmware_updater.py --install I got the following error message:

-------- FIRMWARE FLASH hello-motor-lift | Stepper.v0.2.5p1 ------------

…Failure for device hello-motor-lift to return to USB bus after upload

The lift is not moving, during calibration after finishing all the steps.

I would really appreciate help in resolving this issue. Thanks a lot!

Also after completing all the installation steps mentioned at stretch_install/robot_install.md at master · hello-robot/stretch_install · GitHub and running stretch_robot_home.py, I am getting the following error:

Thought this maybe useful.

Hi @Anant_Rai, we have recently discovered an issue with the REx_firmware_updater.py on Ubuntu 20.04, and that issue is what has impacted you here. We’re actively investigating this issue, but until then, I recommend booting back into Ubuntu 18.04 if you decided to dual boot and use the older RE1_firmware_updater.py tool to reflash the firmware. Everything will then work again in 20.04. If your 18.04 OS is no longer accessible, let me know and I’ll find another short term solution.

CORRECTION on Sept 28th: The firmware updater is fixed as of Stretch Factory v0.3.9. It can be used safety to flash firmware on both 18.04 and 20.04. Run pip3 install -U hello-robot-stretch-factory to update to the latest on 20.04.

Anant_Rai · September 24, 2022, 7:58pm

Hi @bshah , thanks for your response. Can you clarify more on what you mean by using ‘older RE1_firmware_updater.py tool to reflash firmware’. Do you mean to run REx_firmware_updater.py --install with firmware updater present in Ubuntu 18.04? I did dual boot so I think I can do that.

bshah · September 25, 2022, 5:57pm

Yes @Anant_Rai, that’s correct. The firmware updater tool was renamed in its latest release, so instead of REx_firmware_updater.py, it may be RE1_firmware_updater.py.

Anant_Rai · September 26, 2022, 8:58pm

So I tried running RE1_firmware_updater.py --install on the older Ubuntu 18.04, and found out that --install is not a recognized argument. I then tried running RE1_firmware_updater.py --update instead and that gives some error and warning messages at start and a final message of System is up to date. No updates to be done.

Am I doing something incorrectly? I wasn’t able to find any documents online mentioning how to update/ reflash the firmware using the RE1_firmware_updater.py command.

EDIT:
Correction-
Changed RE1_migrate_params.py to RE1_firmware_updater.py

Anant_Rai · September 26, 2022, 9:11pm

Full message I get after running RE1_firmware_updater.py --update :

Hi @Anant_Rai, you shouldn’t need to run the RE1_migrate_params.py tool at all. The REx/1_firmware_updater.py tool is the only tool you’ll need to run on Ubuntu 18.04 to reflash the firmware. If the --install flag is not available with the firmware updater tool, we will need to upgrade to a newer version of the tool. On Ubuntu 18.04, you may use the following command to upgrade the package the tool is included in:

python -m pip install -U hello-robot-stretch-factory

I also recommend confirming that xbox teleop is not running in the background before reflashing the firmware. The steps to do so are available here.

With the latest version, the tool is called REx_firmware_updater.py, so the command to reflash the firmware is:

REx_firmware_updater.py --install

Anant_Rai · September 26, 2022, 9:30pm

Sorry, my bad. I meant RE1_firmware_updater.py instead of RE1_migrate_params.py. Edited the post to correct that. Thanks for explanation. I will try the above steps.

Anant_Rai · September 26, 2022, 10:15pm

So I first ran python -m pip install -U hello-robot-stretch-factory and then did REx_firmware_updater.py --install (I also stopped xbox teleop before doing this). I got the following message:

Please run tool RE1_migrate_params.py before continuing. For more details, see forum[dot]hello-robot[dot]com/t/425

As suggested, I first ran RE1_migrate_params.py :

Hi @Anant_Rai, thank you attaching the logs from these commands. Based on the output you’re getting, I recommend that we meet on a support call to debug the issue on the robot live. Please send a email to support@hello-robot.com and we’ll schedule the support call.

Anant_Rai · September 26, 2022, 10:48pm

Will do. Thanks again for the help.

bshah · September 28, 2022, 11:40pm

For anyone reading this thread in the future, @Anant_Rai and I solved the issue on a debugging call. The firmware updater tool was updated to v0.3.9 using pip3 install -U hello-robot-stretch-factory and then we were able to flash the latest firmware successfully using REx_firmware_updater.py --install. With the firmware flashed correctly, the robot was able to homed again successfully.

lstegner · November 4, 2022, 3:11pm

@bshah, I have a similar issue, but updating the firmware updater tool did not help… my firmware update fails at the wheels. Any help would be appreciated!

$ REx_firmware_updater.py --install
