Hi everyone. Newbie to the forum, but I've been lurking since I ordered back duing the pre-order days. Part 107 certified with some software development under my belt.
I don't have much free time, but I have found this forum so knowledgeable and helpful, joining was a necessity. I apologize in advance that my first post is a request for help, but I'm short on options.
I purchased a green cube for a test Solo, but running into an issue during the upgrade and I hope someone can help.
In short, after a complete teardown,my stock Solo cube is bricked and the SD card is corrupted. I was hoping someone who has done the upgrade to the Green cube would be kind enough to either zip me a copy of the SD image from the stock Solo cube SD card, or perhaps plug in the board via serial or USB and help me to determine the contents of the filesystem so I can try to rebuild it myself? Currently, it only contains a logs directory with dataflash logs that stopped logging when the cube went dead, and some terrain files.
I have the golden factory images for Solo's IMX6 and Artoo, but I'm looking for the image on the cube's SD card.
Getting to this point was definitely my fault due to experimenting before I fully understood the consequences and I own that, although this particular Solo is expendable as a test platform and the experience did provide more insight into the software stack, so it was instructive.
The root cause was enabling Mavlink on the serial port on a stock Solo, which somehow locked up Solo, which led to a factory reset that somehow failed and bricked the stock cube. Perhaps I changed something else I was unaware of, not sure, but that doesn't change the end result.
I've been struggling to get this resolved so I can get this bird flying again. It's been grounded for a month. My only options at this point are a new cube, or to tear down a brand new Solo for it's SD image.
Any help is greatly appreciated and I hope to return the favor.
Thanks,
