DFU Flashing Error

Support

When flashing the 24v ODrive 3.5 with my Mac, I get a runtime error: “An error occured. Device Status: (0, 2, 0, 0)”. It happens every time I try to flash the board. Is the only solution at the moment to use a ST-Link to flash the firmware?

Hi,
We currently have an unsolved issue on Mac and some linux machines. We will try to fix this issue as soon as we can. For now please try using a windows machine, as it’s known to work on Windows.

Hi there,

I did try on a Windows machine and I got a similar error. Could not flash the firmware. I ended up getting an ST-Link and was able to flash the firmware just fine.

We found a different tool that can flash the ODrive in DFU mode. It’s not as sleek and automated as the dfu command in odrivetool, but hopefully it can help if you are getting errors.

Instructions here

I am attempting to use the Dfuse tool. I have force the board to DFU mode. I have followed step 9.1 (https://docs.odriverobotics.com/odrivetool#upgrading-firmware-with-a-different-dfu-tool) and the dfuse tool will not recognize an available “STM Device in DFU Mode”.

UPDATE: Looks like my issue was related to firmware version 0.5.2. After following the instructions here from @vogel25 (using the STM32Cubeprogrammer software) I’ve now successfully flashed FW0.5.1.

Hi Ian,

I’m having this exact same issue:

  • Got an error the first time I tried to update the firmware.
  • I now get the “An error occurred. Device Status: (0, 2, 0, 0)” every time using the python tool.
  • Followed all instructions for the Dfuse tool but cannot get it to recognize an available “STM Device in DFU Mode”.

Were you able to resolve the issue?

Cheers
