Update FW on multiple VESC pcbs using CAN issue

MOVED TO VESC TOOL TOPIC! (my mistake)

 

 

Hi all

I have 10 VESC 4.12 connected via CAN bus

I can get and set settings on all of them, using VESC tool, and CAN forward feature.

When I want to update I have first downloaded newest bootloader on all of them using the usb cable
After that I conencted to one of them using USB, went to the Firmware tab, selecting my custom firmware.
I select the update ALL button, I can see the LED on all of the pcb's are flashing like sparkling..
Then its done, and I reset the power

Now ONLY the one I connected to using USB is updated

 

Am I doing something wrong ?

Does it work when you only update 2 or 4 VESCs connected over CAN? Maybe 10 at a time is not supported, but I am not sure.

I found that updating one at a time through CAN is supported, but the simultanious update is not working, the data on the bus seems okay when using logic analyzer, but I think it have to do with that the master is not waiting the sufficient amount of time between writes..
