[FirmwareUpdater] cannot read from firmwareupdater.ini

Hi,

I'm new to FirmwareUpdater. After starting icub and running the icubsrv & icub-head nodes in yarpmanager, i launched FirmwareUpdater in the terminal. However, i still can't see any devices in the GUI. Did i overlook any other operational steps?

Thanks in advance.

icub@icubsrv:~$ yarp name list
registration name /icub ip 172.17.0.1 port 10000 type tcp
registration name /icub-head ip 10.0.0.2 port 10004 type tcp

registration name fallback ip 224.2.1.1 port 10000 type mcast

Hi @jimingda,

you have to run FirmwareUpdater on the head since It communicates w/ the ETH boards through the 10.0.1.104 IP gateway.
If you open a shell in ssh on the head :

ssh -X icub-head

then you run FirmwareUpdater it should work since firmwareupdater.ini is placed by default on the root of the head (it is also present in each robot folder by default).

In any case, you can run FirmwareUpdater w/ firmwareupdater.ini at the same level copying it by hand (<robotology-superbuild-path>/src/ICUB)

May be also this documentation could be useful to you:

Thank you @davidetome for your assistance.

Both FirmwareUpdater and FirmwareUpdater -a now appear to be functioning properly.
