Latest UpdateTool: Syntax error (42)

Technical Support

Hi

We are currently trying to update our T30 modules to the latest version (2.4.b2).
We use the following procedure:

1: Flash with latest stock image
2: Install Compact Framework
3: Change needed configurations in registry
4: Copy needed files to the FlashDisk
5: Make a full backup of the module

But if we try to update this backup to another T30 module we get an error.

A command prombt with the text: syntax error (42): [
When closed the update tool show this error dialog: UDLDoUpdate: NvFlash Error

I cant attach pictures to this post? I get a “Error parsing file”?

This is the log from the UpdateTool:

Hi @TJO,

Look at the logfile, almost at the end there is a line reading:

file not found: Master

This is the issue. Check your .cfg file, it mentions a file called “Master” which probably does not exist.

Hi

The files are there. Cant it handle spaces in file names?

CFG file:
filename=Master 8.4_Bootloader.nb0
filename=Master 8.4_Bootloader2.nb0
filename=Master 8.4_OsImage2.nb0

etc…

G:\master 8.4>dir

Hi @TJO,

I never tried to backup or restore something with spaces in the filename, but clearly it looks like it does not support that. Try replacing paces with underscodes.

Hi

It was the spaces. So I guess the update tool doesn’t like spaces

I don’t think it’s the update tool in general that has issues with spaces, i think it’s the specific .cfg file parser that is used. I might fix it in future, but for now just make sure there are not spaces in the filenames.
