Can you please help me with a way to reflash the Bebop?
Also, is it possible to load a different OS such as Raspbian given that Ardupilot flight stack is standalone binary and should work irrespective of the OS loaded.
Since the kernel goes into panic at startup there is nothing you can do using a uart on linux.
What you need to do is to make a usb cable with the PIN-ID tied to level 1 (5V).
I will then explain how to reflash a firmware using this but I need to get back to my bebop setup in order to find back how to flash using parrot usb tools.
Thank you for your reply @julienberaud. I am working on the USB , trying to connect the ID pin to 5v (floating side) . It would be great if you could help with the flashing part.
@julienberaud Is there any luck in finding how to flash using parrot USB tools? I made the USB and the device is being detected on a Windows PC as P7 USB Boot but not on a linuxsystem. I am stuck at this point
So I have found time to get back to my parrot stuff finally.
Here is my procedure once you get your usb cable with PIN ID tied to 1.
Then download the 2 archives here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1EWS_rFyLK9QZU39achJWOpyjjL1K6jQP?usp=sharing mkdir ~/parrot cp Bebop_Tools.tar.gz ~/parrot cd ~/parrot tar -xvf Bebop_Tools.tar.gz sudo dpkg -i parrot-tools-installer-flashtools_5.9.47_all.deb mkdir ~/.pinstrc cp milos_linux_installer.tar.gz ~/.pinstrc cd ~/.pinstrc tar -xvf milos_linux_installer.tar.gz
Then unplug the battery of your bebop 2, plug the special USB cable.
Type sudo pinst_usb milos linux installer
Press the power button on your bebop 2.
Normally you should see messages on the console telling you the flashing is currently ongoing.

And then you are done, though your bebop has gone back to an old version so you should update it asap to a more recent firmware version.
Can you help me ?
I aslo try to flash bebop2 with the @julienberaud tools.
I’m not a linux user so I’ve download and used a debian live cd. But I don’t know linux so much…
I was not able to perform all the procedure. I’ve the following error :

Here the extract of the console :

Hi @julienberaud
I have a big problem in parrot sequoia reflashing.
Please send an email to mbbayati89@gmail.com for starting a conversation for solving this problem.
Thanks
My problem in connecting Parrot Sequoia to linux is solved but I need the Sequoia Bootloader and other PLF file for reflashing.
these files:
Send parrot bootloader /home/julien/.pinstrc/milos_inst_usb_bootldr.bin
Send installer /home/julien/.pinstrc/milos_linux_installer_installer.plf
Send payload /home/julien/.pinstrc/milos_linux_installer_payload.plf
hi there, I’m digging up ths topic as I bricked my bebop2 trying to set WEP security inside :-/
I tried to make a usb cable with ID-pin soldered to 1 (5V) as @julienberaud described but nothing happens when I launch Julien’s scripts ( scan for ROM … then nothing connected )
I was able to find the picture (or the schematic) mentioned earlier in this post (link dead? ) and if someone can post it again, it will be really great.
thanks for any help you could provide me
Rico
EDIT :
ALL DONE !! my first version of the usb cable was wrong; I redid it and I was able to run Julien’s procedure. => I had alse the file not found issue when first launching “sudo pinst_usb milos linux installer” yet I understood it was only a 32 bits file on a 64b its platform.
so after installing a compatible glibc (i386) and telling my ubuntu 20.02 to be able to play with 32 bits files , it was all OK !! Thanks Julien ! you saved my bebop2
