Playing with the 3DR modems I thought I'd get the firmware updated.  I got a few error messages though.

System is connected to the internet.  Both the ground and air radios give the same problem.  Trying 1.3->1.5 upgrade.  Mission Planner is updated using the auto update.

.

Is there a stand-alone firmware updater?  Tying the updater into Mission Planner and doing autoupdates is NOT a good method.  For a dev unit like this we really need more control and less ties to other potential problems.

Error log from Mission Planner console...

    Hi Jake,

    The SiK git tree has a bunch of python tools for loading firmware, testing the radios etc. That is what I use to develop the radio firmware. Have a look in the Firmware/tools/ directory.

    You can also force the radio into bootloader mode by shorting CTS and ground while powering on. I'll add something to the wiki on how to do that.

    Cheers, Tridge
