Hello,
I received my board. Now I am trying to load a sample application.
I started dsloader30GUI.exe selected the baudrate 19200 and pressed the button "check for bl". The answer I get is:
Searching for bl . response timed out
Found PIC24FJ128DA110
Firmware version timed out
This can't be true. So I checked with several other baudrates With 115200 I have different answer:
Searching for bl . response timed out
Found unknown device id(193/0xC1), fw version timed out
This is really puzzling. I'd expected the tool to work out of the box.
The d30loader has version 1.5.1 (engine 2.2.2)
Can anyone shed some light into this mess?
By the way I am using it on Linux - in case it matters.
Thanks RĂ¼diger
The correct baud rate is 115200. Not sure where you got 19200 from?
Are you using the DS30 from: http://code.google.com/p/dangerous-prot ... 253Dclosed (http://code.google.com/p/dangerous-prototypes-open-hardware/source/browse/trunk/Web_Platform/#Web_Platform%2Ffirmware%2Fbootloader-mackey%2Fbin%253Fstate%253Dclosed) ?
Did you set the family and device options in DS30?
Seems I downloaded the wrong files.
With the files you pointed at (ds30 loader 1.35, engine 1.34) it finds the bootloader but does not detect the device.

What happens if you press the web platform tactile switch? Does LED1 light and stay lit for about 3.5 seconds?
If LED1 does not light and stay on for at least 3 seconds, then I would have to conclude that there is no bootloader or it's been corrupted.
Reaction when I press the tactile switch (S1)
1. LD1 goes on for about 3 seconds
2. After about 3 seconds LD1 goes into blinking mode and LD2 goes on and stays on.
Well the good news is that it looks like the bootloader is operational.
Does the original firmware that the web platform came with work?
I haven't found what the original software is supposed to to.
http://http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Web_platform_firmware talks about different examples but does not say this is the firmware it is delivered with. Maybe I have overlooked it.
The web platform should obtain a DHCP IP address and should ping. Additonally, if you http to it, you should get:
404: File not found
Use MPFS Upload to program web pages
The default firmware is the EEPROM web server.
Thanks will test it and report back.
Hi. It works I can ping to the board.
When I access it with the browser I can try an mpfs upload. What is this for? For uploading a firmware or an html file?

Great news - there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your web platform hardware.
As for the mpfs upload, see: http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Web ... uick_start (http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Web_platform_quick_start)
Did you manage to get ds30 working?
