Hi,
I’m in the process of bringing my original Kickstarter Picade back to life.
I am having sound issues and thought that updating the board firmware would be a good idea.
Oops.
I stupidly flashed the update, then read the rest of the git instructions about the updated not being for the original purple KS boards.
So, I delved into this link here, which linked to a .hex file.
Not knowing what I was doing I saved the text as a .hex file and flashed it using the./update {filename} method.
Result = one borked board.
So, then I dug out some jumper jerky and crocodile clips and used avrdude to flash the /other/picade_original.hex file.
(Yes, that is a original first gen Pi, so finding the pinouts added a bit of extra fun.)
So, now the board has firmware, but no joystick.
My question is twofold:
- Is there a hex file of the original firmware I can use with the
./update {filename}method? - How do I take the .hex file linked to and use it, what do I need, do I use avrdude again and does the file have to be in any special format?
Thanks in advance,
Simon.
