working on a mac to flash new firmware (1.2.0) on to AudioMoths. Things were going well at first (i.e. was able to successfully update firmware on 3 sensors). But now getting an error code "Killed: 9" using same procedure.
That’s very strange. It suggests that maybe the driver has got corrupted but I can’t see how that can really happen. Very strange that it used to work and replacing the software doesn’t fix it. One quick thing to try would be to generate a new user account and try a fresh download to there in case there is some strange history of USB devices. I’ve never encountered a Killed: 9 error before.
Just to clarify in light of Alex's post above: I'm not even getting to the binary file step in the procedure - i.e. the "Killed: 9"crops up at the "./flash" command. I don't get a list of ports or anything else.
Marty and I are getting the same error, at same step. I downloaded flash again, restarted ...then later ran OS Update (now running 10.14.3) just in case. Again, odd thing is this worked a week ago, no major changes to OS since then that I know of. My system was complaining that the hard-drive was almost full, but I fixed that.
Experiencing this exact issue (MacBook Pro running Sierra Version 10.12.6). Have not been able to update firmware at all - I get to step 3 in the "Flashing the firmware" instructions (i.e. "Run the flash executable... etc" and I get "Killed: 9" as the only response. Have tried re-starting and re-downloading the flash application without success. Any help appreciated!
(On a separate but possibly related note - I have downloaded the flash application a total of 4 times. The first three times it downloaded as "flash" (no extension); the fourth time it downloaded as "flash.dms" - not sure why this is different (and it didn't resolve the "Killed: 9"issue) but seems odd)
That's very unusual. It's the operating system complaining about the binary file. Have you tried restarting, and if that doesn't work, downloading the flash application again.
@Alex Rogers I'm running MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), otherwise same specs as Matthew
