- The image gets updated at the AP, but doesn't show on the tag display
- Image in AP is different from what is shown on tag display
- The tag is still connected to the AP and checks in
- The AP log shows the following lines
14:56:11 < 00000218C9073B10 reports xfer complete
14:56:10 new image: /current/00000218C9073B10.pending
14:56:10 Updating 00000218C9073B10
14:56:09 Ok, done
- Usually, there would be multiple such lines between
new imageandxfer complete:
15:10:20 < Block Request received for file /current/00000218A8743B13.pending block 1, len 640 checksum 33468
15:10:19 < Block Request received for file /current/00000218A8743B13.pending block 0, len 4096 checksum 49644
Try the following steps.
- Reboot the tag via the AP
- right click tag and choose
Reboot tag
- right click tag and choose
- Configure the tag to show something different to get it going
- example: current date
- Perform an OTA firmware update of the tag from the AP
- see Firmware Updates
- Accidentally the AP firmware (
AP_FW_xx.yy.bin) was flashed onto a tag via OTA - The tag display shows
AP Mode
- Unfortunately, the only way to get a tag firmware (
Tag_FW_xx.yy.bin) onto the tag is flashing via the tag contacts- The required jig depends on the tag
- More information on Tag Flasher
- Batteries of a tag were replaced, but tag is not starting (e.g. showing the previous display content)
- Even shorting the battery contacts won't help
- Try to insert the batteries all in one
- OpenEPaperLink AP lists itself on the wifi as "OpenEPaperLink-xyz".
- Plan is to have a custom name for it.
- Navigate to the AP settings (gear icon)
- Change
Aliasunter Access Point config to desired name e.g.,epaperap(shorter) - Reboot AP
