Script to build devo12-lib.dfu (for themers)

This is an experimental build to create the devo12-lib.dfu file

It won't break anything, but it may not actually work.
you need to point it at the media directory from the devo12 filesystem.

This is a compiled autoit script. the src can be found in the 'scripts' dir if you are interested)

Mklib 0.1 (for 32 and 64 bit):
www.deviationtx.com/downloads-new/catego...make-devo-12-library

4.0.1 Devo12 Filesystem


Instructions for use:
1) download MkLib-0.1-32bit.zip from the 1st post in this thread
2) download devo12-media.zip from the 1st post in this thread
3) unzip MkLib-0.1-32bit.zip
4) unzip devo12-media.zip
5) copy your new bitmap to media/devo12.bmp (from step 4)
6) open the MkDevo12Lib directory and run MkDevo12Lib.exe
7) select the 'media' directory (from step 4)
8- this will create a new devo12-media.dfu file and tell you what directory it is in
9) 'upgrade' this dfu via the 'Library' (NOT the 'Firmware' tab!)

WinXP 32. I can see at 'Done' dialog file path with double slash before filename, e.g. 'Created : D:\Lib\\devo12-lib.dfu'

Can it be the reason for missing output file?

The problem is likely that I use 64bit python. I don't have a 32bit Windows system available so I can't easily build the necessary executables for a 32bit machine.

If someone has python installed on a windows32 machine as well as the development environment, here are instructions to make the exe:

Install py2exe from here: www.py2exe.org/
in the deviation dir:
create utils/setup.py with contentsthen run python setup.py py2exe

cd mkfat
create setup.py with contents
now copy all files from utils/dist and utils/mkdat/dist into he Mklib-0.1/scripts/ directory and try the script again.

I've updated the 1st post with a 32bit binary as well. I built it with Wine in 32bit mode, so it should be ok. I tested it on my 64bit system, and it work there.

It works well, I tried to create and write the library file to Devo12.

Tried once again, all works fine (WinXP 32bit). I also have the file path with double slash, but 'devo12-lib.dfu' successfully created at 'MkDevo12Lib' script folder.

You can get the 'media' folder with Devo12 emulator. The 'media' folder can be changed (or not changed) with firmware release.

I'm not sure what you are asking. You need to install the dfu using the DFUse utility (use the 'Library' Tab) as per the Deviation manual.

what do you mean 'the mklib'?

Here are the steps:
1) download MkLib-0.1-32bit.zip from the 1st post in this thread
2) download devo12-media.zip from the 1st post in this thread
3) unzip MkLib-0.1-32bit.zip
4) unzip devo12-media.zip
5) copy your new bitmap to media/devo12.bmp (from step 4)
6) open the MkDevo12Lib directory and run MkDevo12Lib.exe
7) select the 'media' directory (from step 4)
8- this will create a new devo12-media.dfu file and tell you what directory it is in
9) 'upgrade' this dfu via the 'Library' (NOT the 'Firmware' tab!)

I don't have the details for building the script anymore (I actually was lucky to find it at all). The fix is easy, but I need to figure out how to compile it 1st. In the mean time, create a file called devo12.bmp (you can just copy any small file to devo12.bmp, it will never be used) to make the script happy.
