Unable to Reset and Load Firmware

Figured I'd reset my APM and reload Hex firmware to 2.8.1.  I've rebooted my PC, then via terminal mode, under setup I erased EPROM and Reset the APM.  But when I try to load the firmware for Hex it fails.  Mission Planner downloads the file, and uploads the file to APM, but I get a failed message when it verifies.  I've tried this multiple times and no go.  Below is a screenshot of the error.

What's happening and how do I fix this?

Thanks,

Richard

    Go figure it now loaded.  Early today I could still access APM, so I went flying.  I flew through 3 batteries, so while I was charging my batteries tonight, I thought I'd try to install the firmware and was successful.  Go figure.  Still would like to know what the error message was all about?

    Guess my screenshot did not load.  Let's try this again.  I'm running APM 2.5.  I've added it as a attachment.

  • I don't see a screenshot of the error. Can you upload it again? Also what version of the APM hardware are you using?
