RaspBee 2 does only show in Phoscon with FW 26690700

Hello community,

I have problems updating the RaspBee 2 FW to the newest version.
Al Firmwares later than 26690700 does not work. Not work means the device is not shown in “Phoscon APP”, it always says “Hersteller / Manufacturer unknown” and “Firmware: nicht verbunden”.

If I downgrade to 26690700 it is working again. Is this the latest FW I can use?
Following page shows later firmwares available for RasbBee 2:

I used the manual steps provided here:

I use Raspberry Pi 3, Phoscon APP Verion is: 2.19.1 / 19.9.2022

I hope you can help.

The lastet 26780700 works fine. You should use this one.

Are you running headless? If not what is shown in the deCONZ GUI?

Please do a test with a separate SD card and our image with Desktop.

Hello,

I use the headless raspi image version provided on Phoscon Website so I’m currently not able to start GUI. But I will try your suggestion and report my findings here.

Thanks,
Stefan

Hello,

with the GUI-Version of Raspi Image the Flash to the newest Firmware showed a fail, but the Phoscon App could now access the RaspBee 2 with the latest firmware

sudo GCFFlasher_internal -t 60 -f deCONZ_RaspBeeII_0x26780700.bin.GCF 
GCFFlasher V3_17 (c) dresden elektronik ingenieurtechnik gmbh
Reboot device RaspBee (RaspBee)

There are several REBOOTS of the device which I could not see with the 26690700 firmware:

sudo GCFFlasher_internal -t 60 -f deCONZ_RaspBeeII_0x26690700.bin.GCF

That looks good so far.

There is a bug in GCFFlasher that can wrongly output the “failed” when checking after writing. So this is just a display error. This is fixed with GCFFlasher 4 which is on the way.

As long as the Phoscon app shows the firmware and devices can be added and can be used, everything is okay.

One further question:
in /boot/config.txt there is following “dtoverlay” per default:

dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt-overlay

But “pi3-miniuart-bt-overlay” does not exist under /boot/overlays

It seems that “miniuart-bt” should be used instead?
