Running the Firmware Uploader on a Raspberry PI does not work

[elgohary12]

I tried to run the firmware uploader from the UI on a raspberry pi, but it isn't able to connect to the correct port (/dev/ttyS0). The calibrator however works on the raspberry pi. After looking at the code we found that the communication is established differently in the calibrator and in the firmware uploader. In the calibrator, ardSerial is used while in the firmware uploader serial.tools.list_ports is used. Is there a way in which we can use the ardSerial in the firmware uploader? Thanks for the help.

When you mount the Pi on the NyBoard, they communicate through the serial port. However, when you want to upload firmware, it will also use the reset signal. With the USB uploader connected to the 6-pin socket, the reset signal is automatically sent through the DTR pin. While with the 2x5 socket, we haven't integrated it directly into the firmware uploader. There's a forum post discussing the differences between the two interfaces.
