PlutoSDR DFU mode

Hello Gentlemen,

A few days ago I bought an Adalm Pluto SDR, I did the first Test of reception and it works very well.

I tried to make a change after this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2LtY3ZJ_wc&t=22s I did not succeed, I probably did not do something right or it was not the software.

After this failed operation, plutoSDR does not do anything, no longer sees any COM port, the computer no longer recognizes it as a storage unit.

When connecting to USB sees only the Device Manager PlutoSDR DFU.

Has anyone else happened to this wonderful little box?

Please help me,

Thank you (Victor - yo3dex)

Hi Victor,

If you search the EngineerZone for "Plutosdr brick" you will find some relevant threads.

However - please see here:

https://wiki.analog.com/university/tools/pluto/users/firmware#dfu_update

I assume you use windows - so you already have the drivers installed.

Download the firmware and UPDATE.BAT.

Then do:

C:\tmp>UPDATE.BAT c:\tmp\uboot-env.dfu

Restoring the default environment should fix your Pluto.

Thank you Michael

When I open that link with the .BAT file, it opens as text, I take the copy / paste text and I made a .BAT file, created a "tmp" file and put the UPDATE.BAT file there with the DFU files see the attached picture , but I think I miss something.

I do not know what . Or I do not do a good thing.

You need to provide uboot-env.dfu as argument for UPDATE.BAT

Do that BAT file need to be configured?
