Problem in updating secure bootloader

[scientist_bala]

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all doing great. I have set up the build environment using the steps given on wiki and successfully built the firmware.

I have also the secure firmware after following the instruction given on wiki

I have few queries, I hope somebody can answer these:

1. How can I put my Pixhawk6C or Cube into DFU mode for flashing the custom build firmware?
   
   
   
   I have read here that ground station should be able to put the board into DFU, how can I do that?

I have tried to upload directly the build firmware using this command: ```
./waf copter --upload
But it shows this error:

I have connected the Pixhawk6C via USB.

Really looking forward to your help.
Thanks!

Can anybody please point me to a blog or some discussion where I can find out the steps of installing custom bootloader and firmware in the pixhawk cube?

I have checked this Wiki Page but still have a confusion.

I want to know is there any way through which I can upload the bootloader in the cube without opening the cube and pulling the “boot0” pin high on the processor.

Thanks! Really looking forward to someone help and response.

Configure the firmware options and start the build. When it completes download the .apj file from the Open Build Directory link and use Mission Planners “load custom firmware” to flash it. That’s it.

Can we put the cube in DFU mode through mission planner to install the secure build for bootloader?

Thanks! really looking forward to hearing back from you.

Hey @dkemxr,
Sorry to disturb you. Just wanted to know whether you understood my issue or not?

Thanks!

I have no knowledge of employing a secure bootloader.

Okay @dkemxr, No issues. Thanks for your response.

Just want to know, is there any way through which I can check the exact endurance/flight time through logs? something like Time in Air option in mission planner during the flight.

Thanks!
