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
