Difficulty upgrading firmware

Hi,

I’ve just starting using a new 56V odrive (my second). I started by upgrading my odrivetool to the latest version. odrivetool wouldn’t connect until I used zadig to change odrive interface 0 and interface 2 to libusb (1.2.6.0) (I had the same problem with my first odrive). After this I could connect in odrivetool. Then tried ‘odrivetool dfu’ to upgrade it to the latest firmware, and I get the following error:

(base) C:\Users\Luke Steele>odrivetool dfu
ODrive control utility v0.5.3
Waiting for ODrive...
Found ODrive 2069346C5748 (v3.6-56V) with firmware v0.5.1
Checking online for newest firmware... found v0.5.3
Downloading firmware v0.5.3...
Putting device 2069346C5748 into DFU mode...

    267         return (otp_data[3], otp_data[4], otp_data[5])
    268     else:

IndexError: array index out of range

How do I solve this?

Thanks,

Luke

I managed to solve this by forcing the board into dfu mode (dip switch toggled to dfu, gpio 6 connected to ground), then used the stm32cubeprogrammer and the instructions here under ‘Upgrading firmware with a different DFU tool’ to successfully upgrade the firmware.
