MPPT RS: Update error, Error Message: xupc-88


Updating RS 450/100 and it failed couple times with the following message:

1710156648360.png


the trailing number changes. Eventually it succeeded, but left a bit sour taste. There was some red popu-up also in the browser low corder but it disappeared quickly before I had change to read it. Didn't find this error from any threa subject so here we go.

Various stability fixes to the xupd & xupc tools (which are part of remote firmware updates)

Development threads here in the forum have these changelog entries, gives a hint what that XUPC is.

The last phrase was a question or a statement?

If it is a question, then "xupc - Victron Update over VE.Can"

Seems like the xupc program, part of the Venus OS, is exiting with various error exit codes...

Do you have a stable CAN connection with terminators at both ends?

Which is the status of packets on the Cerbo - Settings - Services - VE.CAN port - Network status?

It has been working just fine for quite some time. No CAN errors.

@Juha Tuomala

You realise that updating over the VRM when the banner at the top says that there are back end issues with the database synchronisation is ill advised - right?

Use your phone BT and Victron connect.

From what I know the file for update is downloaded first into Cerbo and from there that utility "xupc" is flashing locally. Just like the VictronConnect is doing on the phone.

Also that program mentioned in the error is a local program that doesn't has anything to do with the server back-end. It just takes that previously downloaded file and flashes it over CAN on the specific NAD.

The very fact that the xupc program is launched, it means that it has a valid file to be flashed - that if the scripts are correctly written - and in this case the only problem will remain the local network...

Am I wrong?

Thanks!

I think it was before that. Anyway, that banner is annoying, it covers the settings button and that X doesn't work in mobile devices.
