ols-loader v0.4 for OSX

And here is an OSX build.  Based on current svn (1/13/2011).  10.6 only.  Though I can make it work on 10.5, it requires changes to termios handling in the source and will not run beyond 115200 baud.

If anyone truly needs Leopard support, they can contact me directly for details.

Here are some pre-built binaries for robots command line updater from this thread http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1654

The linux binary was built under 32bit Fedora 14, the windows executable built with MinGW (but note that it's untested).

hi i received my logic sniffer but i can instal the client when i download the latest version 0.9.5 beta 2, there aren't executable file or setup file, how can a install it?

[robots]

You probably shouldn't post the same thing in multiple threads ....

anyways... you don't install it, you need to have java JRE (java runtime environment) installed, and there are "run.bat" and "run.sh" executables to start the OLS client.

[kind2011]

thanks was useful !

[ipatch]

was there ever a binary for OS X that worked?

...well i just built from this source -> https://github.com/robots/ols-fwloader The program built, but if wouldn't even status the device :-/

And the device is showing up as /dev/tty.usbmodemfd121

I just received my OLS from Seeed, checked it out with the client, and it seemed to run.

I then went about checking for the latest firmware to load, and got in trouble.

I'm on MAC OSX, so I downloaded ols-loader v0.4 for OSX and got that to run. It informed me that I have fw 2.3:

edwardc% ./ols-loader -p:/dev/tty.usbmodem411 -t:115200 -status
Logic Sniffer ROM loader v0.3 (November 9, 2010)
Opening serial port '/dev/tty.usbmodem411' @ 115200 ... OK
Found OLS HW: 1, FW: 2.3, Boot: 2
Found flash: WINBOND W25X40
OLS status: 00

I downloaded ols-06FEB2011-package.zip which had fw 2.5 in it.

Next, I read out and saved what I thought was my existing fw, but apparently was the flash:

edwardc% ./ols-loader -p:/dev/tty.usbmodem411 -t:115200 -rH:ORIGINAL_OLSv1.firmware.v2.3.hex -read
Logic Sniffer ROM loader v0.3 (November 9, 2010)
Opening serial port '/dev/tty.usbmodem411' @ 115200 ... OK
Found OLS HW: 1, FW: 2.3, Boot: 2
Found flash: WINBOND W25X40
Will read 1024 pages
...

Then I tried to write the new FW:

edwardc% ../..//ols-loader -p:/dev/tty.usbmodem411 -t:115200 -wH:OLSv1.firmware.v2.5.hex -write
Logic Sniffer ROM loader v0.3 (November 9, 2010)
Opening serial port '/dev/tty.usbmodem411' @ 115200 ... OK
Found OLS HW: 1, FW: 2.3, Boot: 2
Found flash: WINBOND W25X40
Reading HEX file 'OLSv1.firmware.v2.5.hex' ... OK! (binary size = 16376)
Will write 64 pages
Page 0x0000 write ... (0x0000 0x0000)OK
...

Now, the OLS does not function, and a selftest indicates a fail:

edwardc% ../..//ols-loader -p:/dev/tty.usbmodem411 -selftest
Logic Sniffer ROM loader v0.3 (November 9, 2010)
Opening serial port '/dev/tty.usbmodem411' @ 921600 ... OK
Found OLS HW: 1, FW: 2.3, Boot: 2
Found flash: WINBOND W25X40
done...
Failed :( - '8'
ERROR: DONE pull-up failed self-test :(

Even tried reloading the file I saved out at the beginning, but apparently thats bad too.

No sigh of a "flash" .bin or .hex file in the ols-06FEB2011-package.zip archive.

I'm stuck! Please help. Just need a pointer to the flash file, and a correct set of steps to load it.

Please try this latest update package, I think that will fix everything:

I downloaded the latest files, and found what I needed, but still had to borrow a Windows computer to reload the firmware. At any rate, it now seems to be working with the latest versions, and self test passes.

But when using Jawi's client, the "show device metadata" button comes up blank. In addition, using test mode and connecting to the wing connector does not give the correct test pattern, so I don't think I'm quite there yet. Suggestions?
