WizFi630S firmware update - http connection not working

Question

I have an firmware upgrade problem with the WizFi630S module. During an upgrade the firmware did not go up well, and I need to upload a new firmware using usb/serial port, as webserver is not working. Is there a way to do it? Pre life: The module was working, but I performed an update, for some reason even after about one and a half hour the response from program was not coming. After restart neither with browser I can not reach the WizFi and also it is not working as a router any more.

Hi, oliver. Can you see bootloader menu like this? If you can see this boot menu and can run tftpd server, you can install firmware image via boot menu and tftp server

oliver: Please choose the operation: 1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP. 2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP. 3: Boot system code via Flash (default). 4: Entr boot command line interface. 7: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via Serial. 9: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP First of all, you need to set tftpd server. If your pc is windows, please visit TFTPD64 : an opensource IPv6 ready TFTP server/service for windows : TFTP server and prepare tftpd For Linux, you can prepare a tftpd server. Just register the path where the firmware image file is located in the tftpd setting and run it. You should connects WizFi630S device and PC to the same network. Press number 2 on the boot menu selection screen, input the ip and tftpd server ip to be used for the 630s, and write the name of the image file registered in tftpd to proceed with firmware writing. image1599×910 56.6 KB When the writing is done successfully, you can see many dot(.) strings and done!! message.
