Can't update new Lan Turtle

[allinarush]

I get an error  and a lanturtle.com web address followed by No updates available. I try to manually  update it, but when I try to use a local path it says no such file or directory available. I need to be able upload the file via SCP from C:/users/me/downloads. 

 

Any help would be great.

What Turtle firmware version are you on at the moment? (Showing in the top left corner of the Turtle text based UI, or cat /etc/turtle/VERSION  )

What error text do you get?

What local path are you referring to? On the Turtle?

Uploading using SCP shouldn't be any issue. Make sure you are connected to the Turtle and get an IP address from the Turtle on the local machine to which the Turtle is attached.

I believe im getting the syntax wrong. See both screenshots

Firmware version 1. That Turtle must have been tucked away since it was bought ages ago.

You're trying to access the Windows file system from the Turtle. To do it from the "Turtle side" you need an ssh daemon/server on your Windows box (and run scp in another way). Do it from the Windows machine instead. Assuming you have an updated Windows 10 installation, you have scp available without installing anything extra.

Open a terminal on the Windows PC and position yourself in the file system where the Turtle bin file is located (probably the Downloads folder of the user you downloaded the bin with). Then run (on the Windows machine with the Packet Squirrel connected):

scp turtle-6.bin root@172.16.84.1:/tmp/

Then ssh into the Turtle and run:

sysupgrade -n /tmp/turtle-6.bin

The upgrade should start and run for about 5 minutes.

 

The error message you get when trying to run the update from the Turtle text based UI is probably because you have a really old firmware installed at the moment.

I get No such file or directory. How does it know where turtle-6.bin is located.

If you follow my instructions and still get such error messages, you need to learn the basics of file systems first.

[allinarush]

I understand file systems. Im on a Windows machine. PSCP command won't work either.

OK, good that you know how it works. Then explain step by step in detail how you are doing it in order to be able to troubleshoot it further.

I had a similar issue with an older turtle.... and when I tried scp to push the new update it says it is out of space.   Any help would be appreciated.

Is it the "1st gen" Turtle without a Micro SD card slot?

[Psyillirabbit]

Yes sir, I am afraid it likely is.  Its definitely running Shell V1.   Am I just SOL?

[dark_pyrro]

If you reboot the Turtle and then ssh into the Turtle and exit from the "text based UI" and run

df -h

How much space is available on /tmp ? Should be around 29 MB which should be enough for the update/upgrade file.

root@turtle:~# df -h

ok, it should be enough space if you scp the update file to /tmp

[Psyillirabbit]

I'll give it another go
