You should have the latest verions of Ardupilot on your Cube when trying to update your Here 2 GPS, if your having prblems getitng the Here 2 to show in SLCAN make sure you have updated your Cube.

If your still having issues try flashing your cube to the latest version of a diferent vehicle such as Plane or Rover if your using Copter.

Boot Delay

If the above does not help try increasing the boot delay pram in ardupilot as follows

BRD_BOOT_DELAY = 7000

Note: You should return this to the default value after updating is complete

Solid Green LED's

If your Here 2 has solid green led after updating its likely the full process has not competed, you must update both the bootloader and then the application, the update must be completed in full as per the instructions.
