Need testers for USBcode was created by PhracturedBlue
Update: See this post for the current version (0.6.1) which is fully functional (and now has a working GUI):
www.deviationtx.com/forum/7-development/...bcode?start=20#31428


EDIT: I also uploaded 0.1a which works on my win7 x64 machine. Please test both versions is possible and provide feedback

I am starting to work on a dfuse replacement tool for installing the firmware into the radio.

As one of the primary goals is to be able to be cross-platform compatible, I am trying to find a reasonable solution that allows easy portability, easy install, but provides USB access.

Even though it isn't my favorite language, Java is the obvious 1st choice for building an application that will run on all platforms without my needing to compile on each one.

However, I am having difficulty getting USB to work on all platforms.

I have provided a jar file below, and would like reports on testing on:
Linux-64bit (as a normal user and as root)
Linux-32bit (as a normal user and as root)
Windows-64bit (with and without admin privledges)
Windows-32-bit (with and without admin privledges)
Mac OSX

Run from a cmdline as:
java -jar <path to jar file>
The code simply scans all usb devices connected. Ideally you'd run it with at least one USB device plugged in, but it isn't strictly necessary.

You can find the code that generated the jar here:
bitbucket.org/PhracturedBlue/deviation-upload

I have tested on 64bit Linux (works only as root on one box, and without root on another)
And on Win-7-64 (crashes...fixed in 0.1a)

I need to ensure it works on all platforms before I put any effort into writing the actual code.

Can you run 'java -version'? This looks like it may be a case of 32bit java on 64-bit windows. I think that is a known issue with the USB code and the only fix is to install the 64bit Java.

It probably is, I have a 32bit JRE installed on this machine. Will test with 64bit.

Edit:

Windows 64 Home Edition, 64bit JRE, no crashes:

0.1 - no output
0.1a - works

Overall, responses look positive. I'm going to go forward and add enough code to connect to a transmitter. We'll see how that goes.

Summary from above (for 0.1a):
Linux: 32bit and 64bit both tested and working without root
Win64: tested and working without admin
Mac-OSX-64bit: tested and working without root
Win32: untested

Thanks everyone.

Here is another release I'd like some testing on.
You should ensure your Devo transmitter is plugged in and in programming mode.

Running successfully will produce something like:
Found: DFU [00483:df11] cfg=1, intf=0, alt=0, name='@Internal Flash  '
Found: DFU [00483:df11] cfg=1, intf=0, alt=1, name='@SPI Flash: Config'

   Poll timeout 104 ms
bytes_per_hash=1024
Starting upload
Walkera DEVO-08 Radio Controller : 4716ff35 39324632 43218023
It is that last string that I want to see.

I already know this version will not work with Windows. On windows you'll get something like:
Found: DFU [00483:df11] cfg=1, intf=0, alt=0, name='Unknown'
Found: DFU [00483:df11] cfg=1, intf=0, alt=1, name='Unknown'
Found: DFU [00483:df11] cfg=1, intf=0, alt=2, name='Unknown'
Error: Unable to open device

I tested and it DOES work when run from a Linux VM ma chine inside windows though (as root).

It turns out that we can't access the Devo Tx on Windows because the DFuSe driver intercepts the data and prevents us from communicating. This can be resolved by replacing the DFuSe driver with the lib-usb one, but while it isn't hard to go back and forth, I don't think it is worth the risk at this point for most people. I'm mostly interested in Mac and Linux responses at this point.

This version of the code tests the tx->PC transfer, but does not test the PC->tx transfer (i.e 'upgrade') Ihave that code written, and am working on testing it now. The output (when successful) is your unique transmitter id. No other transmitter will have the same value. It is used to encode the dfu file during installation.

Ok, after a lot more banging my head against the wall, here it is.

Version 0.5 of the DeviationUpload code.
Current capabilities:
* It can upload a dfu to the radio (either Deviation or Walkera's firmware) for the lib, or FW.
* It can download the off-chip ROM to the PC (but not the firmware)
* It will automatically install the dfu properly regardless of type (fw to FLASH, lib to external ROM)
* It will not allow you to install a FW for the wrong radio (i.e. you'll get an error if you try to install a devo10 FW onto a devo8)
** NOTE: It does NOT yet detect whether the library is appropriate for your radio!
* It is very hard to get the 'send to tx' mixed up with the 'receive from tx'

Usage:
Show help:
java -jar DeviationUpload-0.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar -h

List info about plugged in tx:
java -jar DeviationUpload-0.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar -list

Send a dfu to the radio:
java -jar DeviationUpload-0.5-jar-with-dependencies.jar -send -dfu <file.dfu>

It works fine when run from a linux VM on Win7-64

I still don't recommend running it directly on Windows becasue it won't work without replacing the Walkera USB driver (which means DFuse will stop working)

I have tested it on my Devo 7e, 8, 10, and 12 successfully.

It should not be possible for it to damage your radio (though if there's a bug you may need to go back the DFuse to reinstall the firmware)


There is no GUI yet, so at the moment you need to use the cmdline. I will implement a GUI eventually, but I'm probably going to take a break from this for a while to work more on Deviation itself, as I really dislike Java programming.

Thank you very much PB! No need to boot Windows anymore to upgrade my Devo! Great!
And you know what ? It works!!!

Thanks, works beautifully. I'll patch my Makefile for something like
make TARGET=devo10 flash

In case anyone is wondering what is going on with this, I've been wokring on a foolproof GUI for installing Deviation (or the Walkera firmware):



The capabilities will include:

* Ability to instal from zip files
* Auto detect transmitter, filesystem and firmware and disallow installation of the models don't match
* Auto-detect whether firmware/filesystem is Walkera or Deviation and enable/disable options as needed
* Disallow Walkera firmware install with Deviation Filesystem and vice-versa
* Ability to install a new filesystems without updating the tx.ini or models
* Ability to format the Tx if needed
* Automatically install protocol modules on devo7e
* Automatically deal with the split root/media filesystem on the devo12

You will, of course, also have the ability to just install a dfu with only the model-match checks if you want. We have contniued to have difficulty with users not following all of the steps to install Deviation properly, and I'm hopeful this will make it easier for everyone.

I have a lot of the code working except for the formatting and filesystem management stuff which I am working on.

Hi PB,
do you still looking for testers? (win64bit, admin)

Not at the moment. When the GUI work is done, I'll ask for some more help most likely.

do you have any idea when you'll the coding completed? I am one those unlucky ones that the Walkera DevoDfuSe_vx.x (tried all versions from 1.4 through two releases of 1.7). None will run on either my 32 bit Vista or 64 bit Windows 7 machines. Walkera's brilliant idea is to uninstall the operating system and go back to XP.
Very frustrated, I have both a Devo 7E and 10 that have firmware updates pending.
