How to flash a new image to ameoba 8722 module?
I tried to install new image to the module. but unfortunately its not working as expected as mentioned in the starting guide
Hi @jithin,
Did you enter download mode by pressing the two buttons at the top right?
Are you using standard SDK or Arduino SDK?
Thank you.
I tried both.
while trying with Arduino Im getting below error
‘.\tools\windows\pad.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Couldn’t determine program size
while trying with the standard sdk, using image tool, it will show downloading image started and immediately it shows downloading failed
The module I am using has 2 usb slots whereas the module mentioning in the website has 3 usb slots. I have tried multiple methods mentioned in the website and RTK discussion site. but couldn’t succeed
‘.\tools\windows\pad.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Please enter the upload mode manually(wait 5s)

I’m manually able to open serial port and able to move to download mode as well
Hi @jithin,
Can you try giving permissions to tools\windows\pad.exe ? Make sure that it is executable?
Thank you.
Hi @jithin,
Can you try to get the tools folder from here ? GitHub - Ameba-AIoT/ameba-arduino-1: Ameba1 Arduino third-party package SDK
Thank you.
Kelvin,
Getting the same error after copying the tools folder. Seems its disappearing after running the program. Could be any permission issue?
in this its padding.exe, but error showing tools/windows/pad.exe
‘.\tools\windows\pad.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Couldn’t determine program size
anything else i need to try?
Sure. Kelvin, is there any other way i can connect with you so that i can share my screen to look into this issue
Hi @jithin,
I think it would be best to just communicate here. It will be beneficial to any other users facing the same issue as you next time. Unless you really need to ask the questions privately, let me know.
Thank you.
sure. no pblm. will give permission and update
Kelvin,
Im able to flash images to the board. I think yes it was due some permission issue. will keep posted the latest updates further once its available
Either we can use Arduino or using micro python method
