APM 2.5 CLI reboot command not working?

Posted by p.r. on November 5, 2013 at 3:28am

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the reboot command through the CLI?

On my APM 2.5 board, the firmware is failing to go through the reboot sequence.

Upon issuing a reboot command, I'll see the message "GOING DOWN FOR A REBOOT", but then it just hangs & never comes back to life.

I looked at the source code for 'Scheduler.cpp' which handles the reboot command. I see that it's supposed to hand off the reboot to the 'APM bootloader', so I'm wondering if perhaps there's something wrong with my bootloader.

So, can I just use the Arduino IDE to re-burn the bootloader?

If not, then how do I go about getting a new bootloader on there?

    bump...can anyone help me out with this?

    It's worrying me that the reboot command doesn't work.

    I'd like to try re-burning the bootloader, but can't find any info on how to do it for the APM 2.5/ATMega2560...
