Stuck Trying to flash the matrix creator

UltimateKnight · December 4, 2016, 6:49am

Hi, I am unsure on what command to run for this line in the documentation

Then flash the firmware using the openocd program that should be installed on the Raspberry (with the package matrix-creator-openocd).

I am currently trying to get the sensors to give me something other than non-zero values.

HI @UltimateKnight,

You are right, the text seems to be a little misleading. This line, “Then flash the firm…” is just telling you that the next steps are related to that. You should go to the next steps on the document.

Also I wanted to point out the porpuse of this guide is to show you haw to do the flashing by yourself. But if you already install MALOS or already install MALOS following instructions in https://github.com/matrix-io/matrix-creator-malos, the flashing is done automatically when the Raspberry Pi is rebooted.

Hope this help,
Keep us updated about your progress.

Did you have any luck with sensors?
I can get a temp, but only 0 from humidity, pressure, UV and the IMU.

If you’ve any tips, I’d appreciate your input.

Hi @bryce,

Probably you already tried some of this:

Reboot your Rasp Pi (unplug and plug again )
Test with a second SD Card or just start installation form scratch.
If you’ve tried all this then try

sudo /usr/share/admobilize/matrix-creator/creator-init.bash

This is the script that runs after boot that programs the FPGA and the MCU if needed.

Please, get back to us with the results

Thanks a lot Yoel. I appreciate your help. Here is the output of the command.

Can you show me the content of the matrix-creator folder:

cd /usr/share/admobilize/matrix-creator/
ls -l

Also , are you using Raspbian Jessie LITE or PIXEL ?

Hey I’ve just noticed. There used to be a LED constantly on, on the top of the board. It’s off now. What do the top LEDs indicate? I couldn’t find anything in the documentation.

bryce · February 24, 2017, 9:05am

Hey Yoel. I did a fresh install on a different SD, and things are working.
Most likely I just screwed something up on the last one.

Thanks for your help mate!!!
