I am attempting to upload a custom firmware to a Lego Mindstorms NXT and am having issues.
First of all, I'm attempting to use nxtOSEK, which would let me run C++ programs on it. The problem is, everytime I put it into firmware update mode, the download doesn't seem to actually occur.
What I mean by this is that, according to the output in my terminal (both Mac and Windows), the download was successful, however when the NXT reboots, I still see the normal logo (not nxtOSEK).
So, what I'm doing is first holding down the Reset
button for a few seconds, then hitting the orange button, giving me that tic-tic-tic sound. Then I run the firmware update (either using the Windows NextTool or Mac OSX GUI NextTool) and attempt the download. I get a success message, yet the robot is still using the old firmware.
What could be the cause of this problem and how can I solve it?
