<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hello Etherlab Ethercat community,
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I am trying to update the ethercat firmware of a Beckhoff slave using the command “ethercat foe_write”.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I set the ethercat slave to the right state (BOOT state) and then I run the command “ethercat foe_write”. Unfortunately I get an error message (“</span>Failed to write via FoE: FOE_TIMEOUT_ERROR<span style="font-size:11.0pt">”)
and I don’t know whether the firmware has been updated or not. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">This is what I do: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="p1">$ ethercat -p0 state INIT<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">$ ethercat -p0 state BOOT<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">$ ethercat foe_write -p0 -o ECATFW__ the_new_firmware.hex<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1">Failed to write via FoE: FOE_TIMEOUT_ERROR<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="p1"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Notice: the file named “</span>the_new_firmware.hex<span style="font-size:11.0pt">“ really exists. If I enter the name of a non-existing file then I get a different error message.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Did someone get the same issue. Thank you for your help.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Best, <o:p></o:p></span></p>
