After the update to Release 3.0-r3 and the u-boot-2020.04 I am not able to update the \*boot \*recovery and \*rootfs images. Everytime I try for example: update linux mmc 0 fat diaip-image-base-diaip-01-20210331102923.boot.ubifs I get the following error: Error loading firmware file to RAM If I update it using a TFTP-Server it works without any problems. If I downgrade to the old U-boot (2017), I can install the images using an SD-Card. Edit: I read through the last Questions and [https://forums.digi.com/78515/connectcore-express-firmware-upgrade-installation-failed](https://forums.digi.com/78515/connectcore-express-firmware-upgrade-installation-failed) seems to be kind of the same problem ---

This is a known issue with u-boot for cc6ul starter board on dey-3.0r3. We are in the process of releasing de-3.0r4 where it is fixed. It might have already pushed to git , so if you update your Yocto ~$ repo init -u [https://github.com/digi-embedded/dey-manifest.git](https://github.com/digi-embedded/dey-manifest.git) -b zeus ~$ repo sync -j8 --no-repo-verify you should get the latest version of u-boot with fix. ---

Please remove “fat” from the command line. Newer u-boot does not use partition type, I believe. Does it work now? ---
