is the windows gui application backwards compatible with the previous bootloader versions?

Thanks!

Dears,

new GUI is a simple Windows executable that actually invokes command line hc08sprg.exe. The calling convention of hc08sprg.exe has not changed, it all should be compatible. GUI was just made to make life easier, especially for those who like clicking

Also updated hc08sprg.exe is all compatible with all embedded codes. The update was required to support new variations of FC bootloader protocol, some newer devices do have a) larger adddress memory space or b) "non-binary" erase page size (DZ family has 768B erase page).

Simply, replace all instances of hc08sprg.exe with the latest version and it all should be OK.

A couple quick questions:

Are you planning to release a version for the JM60? Even though there is a USB bootloader, I may want to bootload over serial in a future project that uses the JM.

Will you be posting the sourcecode for the GUI bootloader?

Thanks!

Bob

A couple of quick answers:

* just made alpha version for JM60. Briefly tested. Attached. Seems to work (just quickly tested CMX stack HID demo). If anyone downloads it & tests it (with any result), the feedback is very welcome.

* regarding source code of so-called "GUI" is not planned to be released. It does not contain anything useful related to bootloading. It's just top-level application that justs enumerates COM ports, selects a file and launches command line hc08sprg.exe application. Nothing more. Is there anything particular that you're interested in?

I am just a real Windows rookie, and wanted to see how to enumerate the ports.

Thanks for the JM bootloader. I want to use the JM in a non-USB project.

Thanks!

Bob,

If you want some sample code to use a serial port go here.
There is sample code for both VB and C# NET
The book is supposed to be very good as well.
Also search on code project as there is a C++ class there that I have used.

Thanks to all for the help.

I use Borland C++ Builder 5, and built myself a GUI bootloader wrapper. I used a 3rd party serial library that had built in port enumeration which works well.

I will be testing the JM version in about a month, I will post back if I have troubles

Bob,

Are you saying that you use a serial port, and that the CDC code is used on the JM board?
That is the JM board is a USB serial port.

Or are you coming in via a serial port external to the JM board (meaning an SCI port on the JM)?
That is you would need an external USB to serial adaptor.

TurboBob — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 00:32:08 GMT

no, this particular project is using the JM, but not USB. So I wanted to use the bootloader just like on my AW60 projects, with SCI communication via RS232 to a PC.

My USB projects are coming up next. At which point I will bug you a lot.....

Bob,
Well, I have a POD (plain old dll) that give a nice interface to a hid device, and should work just fine with your code, regardless of the language.
Note also that the V1 JM is out now. If you have the DEMOJM with the 64 LQFP socket you should be able to drop it right in.

Hey,

I was hoping to look at some of the demos and DLL's you have working.

I plugged in my demo, and loaded up the HID demo, and my mouse pointer wiggles.....

Can you direct me to your demos, I want to try them next.

Thanks for all your help!!

Has anyone looked into porting AN2295 to use the HID interface on a JM60?

Thanks!

Bob

ok2ucx — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 15:48:00 GMT

Hmmm, what do you mean?

Porting AN2295 JM60 bootloader (currently SCI only) so it uses true USB interface (CDC class - Virtual Serial Port)? Just like with older HC08JW32? Is this what you want?

If this is the case, such portation is in queue with no exact schedule. If there's some interest, we could increase the priority.

TurboBob — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 23:15:41 GMT

My original thought was to make it HID, as my main application is HID, so only one set of drivers and one VID/PID would be needed. (HID using the CMX stack needs no extra driver, which is a good thing in my opinion)

CDC would work though...

Let me know if I can help the process along.

Another idea is the method that the FTF Badge-board used.

When you put the unit into bootloader mode it apears as a USB hard-drive to the host computer. You drop the S19 file in the drive window and the bootloader loads it.

I believe thats how it worked, I did not attend FTF.

JimDon — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:02:03 GMT

There was really no discussion of the badge board at FTF, but the web site has all the information.

As I have mentioned on other threads, go to canyourbadgedothis.com and register so you can down load the sample code. It is certainly a sample of flashing for the V1.

There was talk of making the badge boards available, but I don't know what came of that.

BTW I would like to see a HID based boot loader as well, mainly because HID is easy in terms of no installation of any kind required.

Dears,

could you, please, let me know, how this bootloader would work? In my understanding, HID USB device is something like mouse, keyboard, joystick, tablet, etc. Yes, for sure, it installs easily (on Windows) since Win HID driver is there by default and HID class is recognized properly. Despite of this, I have no idea how to feed data (S19 file) to/from such HID device?

On the other side, I plan to have USB CDC class JM60 bootloader, just another port for existing AN2295 bootloader. After the JM60 resets in bootloader mode, it will appear as Virtual Serial Port (very possibly under the same PID/VID as existing JW32 bootloader = as the same COM port number). Then it is possible to send the boot data thru such COM port (just like it was standard SCI-based HC08/S08 AN2295 bootloader).

Installation is one-time only process, not that well managed by Windows, since there's no specific .inf file for this PID/VID and Windows do not recognize CDC class by default (as HID class for example). Although usbser.sys (driver for CDC class in there), but there's no link for Windows to use that.

Regards, Pavel

JimDon — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 01:46:28 GMT

First of all, I should have been more specific.
There is a class called Generic HID (GHID). There are windows APIs to talk to to generic hid.

The normal (mouse, keyboard etc) windows HID drivers will leave a GHID device alone, and only an app that knows about it can talk to it by VID/PID. But, windows will recognise with it no addtional files or drivers (for CDC you at least need an .inf file - even if you use the built in usn serial driver).

I have a DLL that has a VC++ class that has sample code for this, which you are welcome to use as a sample. You can basicly use file I/O to talk to it.

One nice thing about my code is you do not need anything from the DDK (WDK) as I manually export the entry points from the DLL.

I have a new version of the DLL which I will post tonight if you are interested. I also have a sample app that talks to it. The CMX sample code (which it is based on) has a GHID device in and a sample app as well (but, the PC side code in thier sample is pretty limited).
