Since we havn't specific T8SG V2 target or devo7e-256 build compatible with T8SG V2 I will place here the builds for Jumper T8SG V2.

* First test build

T8SG V2 and T8SG V2 Plus based on Nightly Builds:

I return back to first test build. Don't use these builds if you can't return back to factory firmware.

P.S. I think "T8SG V2" firmware should work without problems, "T8SG V2 Plus" firmware briefly tested and work normally, but seems LCD contrast can't be changed. I will look in to it when I get T8SG V2 Plus.

Changes:
* Reverse AUX5 direction to make it uniform with AUX4. Rotating AUX wheel to the top side of transmitter will change corresponding channel to positive side (+100%).

As I see no way of differentiating between different t8sg builds, should we go ahead and merge your changes to the upstream repository and create new targets for nightly builds?

I'm in favor. Still suggest a name change to t8sg_plus, but not a big deal.

Well, I also thought if we could modify deviation to rewrite bytes in the boot loader to correct identification in Jumpers, but any user interaction like "selecting your deviation device" when boot loader is a 256k one identifying as DEVO-7E would still require the display to work, as we cannot overwrite/modify the bootloader from DeviationUploader :( Any other ideas?

Without a unique identifier not much can be done. If Jumper will change the bootloader then we can support in the future.

Haven't looked at the bootloader at all. Would it be possible to modify by running special code on the tx? A dfu to be run one time?

What identifier you want to change? DEVO-7E? Then DfuSe can't be used to flash firmware, it can flash known transmitters only.

Also, rewriting the bootloader by transmitter is dangerous. What you will do if any problem happened in time flashing the bootloader?

I think it should be veryfeasible using a one time dfu, as dumping the bootloader is very simple and I don't expect write protection (see dump_bootloader.c), and libopencm3 has write flash routines. But what would indeed be a safe end user process for this?

I don't know how the walkera tool will react to a different ID...

Maybe I'll try this on the t8sg... Worst thing that could happen is hooking up the st link and reflashing the original bootloader.

DfuSe will not connect to unknown transmitter, with unknown ID. Walkera every time released new Dfuse version for new transmitter.

From DevoDfuSe.exe v2.31:

Walkera DEVO-12 Radio Controller == DEVO-12 == DV12
Walkera DEVO-08 Radio Controller == DEVO-8 === DV08
Walkera DEVO-06 Radio Controller == DEVO-6 === DV06
Walkera DEVO-10 Radio Controller == DEVO-10 == DV10
Walkera DEVO-07 Radio Controller == DEVO-7 === DV07
Walkera DEVO-7E Radio Controller == DEVO-7E == DV7E
Walkera DEVO-F7 Radio Controller == DEVO-F7 == DVF7
Walkera DEVO-F4 Radio Controller == DEVO-F4 == DVF4
Walkera DFPV-12 Radio Controller == DEVO-F12 == DF12
Walkera DFPV-7S Radio Controller == DEVO-F7S == DF7S
Walkera DEV-12E Radio Controller == DEVO-12E == D12E
Walkera FPV-12E Radio Controller == DEVO-F12E = D12E

But what keeps us from making deviationuploader the preferred flashing tool?

Have you had any bad experience with flashing devos? So far the only problems I see arising in this forum are filesystem related. Also, only a successful upload of our patching dfu would actually trigger bootloader patching within the device after a reset.

The bootloader patch would be pretty safe if every time the dfu runs it ensures it finishes with a valid bootloader installed. Even if it has to completely program the original bootloader due to some error. There'd still be a risk if there was some hard bit error that wasn't an issue before trying to write to the bootloader area. Definitely would want an st-link for doing the development :)

While a patched bootloader would be incompatible with Walkera dfuse, it's the Jumper owners who benefit from the patch so pointing them to deviationuploader might not be an issue. Walkera owners would have no reason to patch their bootloader and could keep using dfuse if desired.

However the people willing to patch their bootloader are probably people who would always burn the right firmware anyway. Maybe suggesting to Jumper to change the bootloaders would give the biggest benefit.

I only have a T8SG V2 Plus, and I just went straight for the deviationuploader when I updated mine to vlad's latest build. I'd be perfectly fine with only using the deviationuploader. I agree that the ideal would be for Jumper to update their bootloader, but I'd be perfectly happy with a deviationuploader-provided bootloader update.

Reflashing the bootloader is done in other projects as well ( For example here ) so it should be pretty safe. Once we have the modified bootloader to be used for this purpose I'm sure jumper will go ahead and use it in future production batches as well, but so far there are probably >1000 devices out in the wild with the "old" bootloader.

Anyways, I suggest merging V2 plus and irange to master branch (thanks vlad for providing these early builds so quickly!), as well as publishing the deviation-uploader 0.9 as the suggested upload tool for now.
