Amateur radio: SSH Updating hotspot firmware via Pi-Star

Firmware release notes on GitHub: ZUMspot/MMDVM_HS
  • Log into Pi-Star via SSH.
  • Run a Pi-Star Update:
  • sudo pistar-update
  • Note: If there's anything unusual about the update process, for example, if there are unusual error messages or it finishes with a "mount: / is busy" message, it might be a good idea to rerun the update and also to reboot before proceeding:
  • sudo reboot
  • Run one of the following commands:
  • Note 1: It isn't necessary to first put Pi-Star into read-write mode (rpi-rw); the script takes care of that.
  • Note 2: When you first enter one of the following commands, you'll see a message showing the current version of firmware that is installed on your hotspot, for example:
  • MMDVM_HS_Hat-v1.3.3 20180224 ADF7021 FW by CA6JAU GitID #d90263f
  • Press any key to write the hs_hat firmware to this modem or Ctrl-C to quit…
  • If you press any key to continue, the next thing you'll see is a message about the new version of firmware that is being installed, for example:
  • Flashing your hs_hat modem to the latest version

A prompt will tell you to press any key to begin.
When the update is finished, another prompt will tell you to press any key to reboot Pi-Star. Be patient, this step takes a bit of time during which it doesn't look like anything is happening.
Once the firmware update is complete, you can see the new version in the Radio Info module on the Pi-Star Dashboard or Admin pages.
