Opendeck 1.2.0 stuck in bootloader

[paradajz]

The last supported version for the v1.x.x OpenDeck boards is v4.1.3. However, only the boards with HID bootloader are updateable to this as mentioned here: https://github.com/shanteacontrols/OpenDeck/releases/tag/v3.2.2

So your board actually "officially" supports v3.2.1 as the last firmware.
You can manually flash the v4.1.3 if you have avrdude installed on your PC.

The steps are:

1. Download the entire v4.1.3 release
2. In root repository of the repository, enter this command:

paradajz@desktop ~/Downloads/OpenDeck-4.1.3
> ./scripts/flash.sh 

And follow along.

Yes, CONN2 is the ICSP header for flashing. The schematic for this board is actually available here: https://github.com/shanteacontrols/OpenDeck/tree/master/bin/sch/opendeck/v1.2.2

Please let me know if you need more help. As for the buttons/pots/etc pinouts, they are the same as on the new boards.

Thanks. I've had a go at flashing it, but I'm having problems with AVRdude. It complains that avrconf: "programmer type linuxspi not found". I've looked around and can see that the reset pin is set to 25 in the config.

I'm using a Mega 2560 to flash - followed the guide and added the capacitor as instructed, and put the reset pin to pin 10.

I vaguely remember had some problems like this a long time ago but can't recall what I did to resolve it,

Ok, you can close this. Managed to use avrdude on windows and decipher what to do from your script. Thanks for the help!
