Trying to install my iKommunicate on my boat, and I am having the following problem:
1. Hooked the unit up to 12V, iKontact router and nothing else (no NMEA sources).
2. Powered up, configured IP/wifi stuff, everything works fine and dandy.
3. Went through the web download of new firmware via Administration page.
– click “Check for new firmware” button
– click on “Upload new firmware” button
– wait for the download progress to get to 100% and the thing to say “reboot the device for new firmware to install”
– hit the Reboot button in the web interface
Expected device to reboot and keep working, but it didn’t.
4. Waited for at least three minutes, cycled the power. LEDs 1-7 (the ones on the MicroSD card side of the board flash a quick pattern, after that nothing ever happens (except Ethernet cable LEDs).
5. Tried to install a new firmware image (the whole thing, not just .mdm) via MicroSD card – same behaviour.
6. Tried to do a factory reset as per http://ikommunicate.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/How-to-Factory-Reset-an-iKommunicate.pdf – same behaviour.
Firmware version on the device before the attempted upgrade was Feb something, 2017.
What should I do next?
