Hi evryone , I have installed my PM3 Via Brew and everything was working find .

Unfortunately I tried to Install it on my Ubuntu via VB and I have the message after flashing .

Target device /fw mismatch .

Please can you help me.

I went back To Terminal on my Mac

  1. Press and hold button and plug into computer
  2. continue to hold the button
  3. run pm3-flash-bootrom, two lights should stay now after successful flash
  4. run pm3-flash-all
    and it works But I really don’t Know why can’t I use it on ubuntu ???

It’s not “make platform” it’s just “make all” … you can see the compiler errors out saying “no rule to make target ‘platform’”

12

I did make. make clean && make all and even sudo make install

and then Flash still the same message so then I went to Make plateform to see what was inserted .

You appear to have edited the sample file.

This might be a problem as well because now you have an “installed version” alongside your compiled output… future updates via git pull may compile but likely won’t get flashed. I found this out the hard way after hours of confusion I had to blast the whole thing and start over.

It is the one Pilgrimsmaster showed me

You’re supposed to copy the Makefile.platform.sample file to Makefile.platform and edit that. The reason for this seemingly extra step is so a git pull later on won’t overwrite your platform file.

If you’re not aware of this, it’s easy to assume you just edit the file that is there… but he did indicate the correct file.
