Devo Loader. Now working Fully was created by SadSack
Well I've found a replacement loader OpenBLT Works great and I can see it being used across Devo range TX if you need it to. Don't have any out put to screen (would be Nice) which honestly can live without.

Now problem I have and need help with re-assigning pins. I've tried and moved USB sense pin C11 > B10. Really not sure if its 100% correct.

So I'm hoping someone could offer help with how to change them or point me somewhere that does show me how?!

Thanks

Now if other is correct.
This should be easy :unsure: (yeah right)moving B0 to C9 so it can be used for Backdoor Entry into loader.

Now C9 is using button matrix Row C9 / Column B9 = Ext

} /*** end of BackDoorInitHook ***/

blt_bool BackDoorEntryHook(void)
{
  /* button PA0 has a pullup, so will read high by default. enter backdoor only when

  if ((GPIOA->IDR & ((blt_int32u)0x01)) == 0)
  {
    return BLT_TRUE;
  }
  return BLT_FALSE;
} /*** end of BackDoorEntryHook ***/
#endif /* BOOT_BACKDOOR_HOOKS_ENABLE > 0 */

Unfortunately I just can't understand or get lucky with this :blink:

Well I read the manual and got backdoor working using button matrix.

really is it that hard? Rather learn if possible.

Ans:

yes it is that hard for me anyways :-) but got it done

I guess the problem is that it has been cleared.

PB has the one for the DEVO 8 for sure, but he is absent...

yup i did clear it without thinking. Well it works/simple, one button click and your done. My biggest problem I just don't understand how to re-assign pins on Arm mcu.

It looks interesting but not for me until I deleted the bootloader of one on my tx...

I took a very short look in the code trying to help you understand the way ports are used (and changed). It is obvious that they are controlled by a few registers like GPIOA->CRL, GPIOB->CRH, ..->BRR and ..->BSRR, but I have not found the correct *.h-file where those names are defined.
Usually the registers are organized in bits where bit0 represents the GPIO-line 0 of the corresponding port (GPIOB bit3 = PB3).
Because the loader is constructed for many MCUs it has an abstraction layer what makes it easy to program (because names are equal for every MCU) but without the translation table (usually a MCU-NAME.h-header-file containing a lot of #define-directives) I can not tell you which of the registers GPIOn->XXX is used for what purpose.

If you point me to the header file I could tell you more.

Hey thanks for looking.

Well I somehow managed to read Reference manual while reading few different sites and using programmers calculator. You guys got a number system for everything!!! :blink: Just setting pin to function so long winded. Still I can see why it's good thing and being able to move peripheral to another port/pin is exciting, No? And useful to us....
I've got it all going apart from button matrix, so back door can be used and pretty sure I know what I did wrong and how to fix it! So I have working loader which with minor changes will work for all the Tx. There are other things that could make life simpler but hey another day...

Now only thing left for me to learn is using screen. Now I've dropped lucky in that u8glib has Arm version so with a lot of luck could be possible. Well I used that before to help get my OLED work with deviation, so fingers crossed.

Well loader is work fine now, Happy days.
No screen output :blush: Think the best I can manage would be to switch on screen back light and Windows will tell you good to go as well.

Would anyone help me with next tweak. This loader uses 'SREC' and I can use 'OBJCOPY -Osrec devo7e.elf devo7e.srec' would I be able to add this to make file ?

Update:

Well I have it working, just not all together at once. What that means is if I disconnect Flash and power up hold 'Ext' like you would to put it DFU mode. Use Microboot to load update that completes and jumps to Deviation and screen works but only dialog box's, no flash connected. Now when i reconnect update as before jumps to Deviation but screen does not work at all and can't be sure Deviation is running. And when i re-power system loader start up, which tells me theres no valid program.

Now if i do that all again but while its loading update I hold 'Ent' button and update completes it just to Deviation and screen lights up with USB logo and i can use flash, format load files what not. Then I press 'Ent' to go to main screen and it goes blank. And when I re-power again back to the loader again no valid program.



Well while I was putting this all together I thought why not zip up what I have. Well you could knock me down with a feather It Works!! What changed? well it wasn't my typing but I did compile deviation using sbstnp VM Odd but I'll take it :woohoo:

Maybe this can help towards memory problems for devo7e.

Nice Sadsack :D

If I knew I wouldn't have spent the all weekend searching for a suitable BL :p

How large is the BL ?

I was under the impression that openblt was like 24kb (but now I see that it's maybe with all the options usb, serial...).


Which files did you modify on the deviation source to make it reserve space for the BL's checksum location .

Was it "\src\libopencm3\lib\cm3\vector.h and vector.c" ?

The .elf file is unencrypted isn't it ?

It is the OpenBLT bootloader.

feaser.com/openblt/doku.php?id=homepage

It isn't the same as walkera (but who knows, maybe they used this one...)it just a way to convert old transmitters to devention.

I'll be converting a Wk-2602, with one of these boards, they have a stm32F103VET6 so I could load Devo10 (maybe the devo8 with a patch for the 2 pots that the 2602 has) firmware.

Walkera uses a modified version of the official STM32 bootloader. It used to be easily available on the stm32 downloads page, but I can't find it anymore.

Didn't knew that obviously.

Is STM32 BL open source ?

Yeah I wish, I know :p

STM has a rather unclear license, but the code is (or at least was) available and may be modified without permission.

99% sure this is Opensource code. And I've got working but rather you eyes over what I did, to be sure.

Think the code used for USB loader is 8K but can be used via Serial port. can use sd and flash.

I've tried to upload what I've done but 11meg I'm guessing is to big, Ill break it down to smaller chucks..

OpenBLT

No need to post the all tree source, only the relevant changed files.

Did you use the VM to compile the bootloader to ?

For serial port you don't need an extra bootloader - they have one in system memory and you need only to set BOOT pins accordingly.

You must have programmed your own hook function, that's the only needed part. It should take much less than 11MB, I'd be surprised if it's 11KB, so you can attach it here.
