blhost and sdphost for ARM Linux?

chriscowdery — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 15:19:42 GMT

Are there versions of blhost and sdphost available for ARM Linux? I am considering using a Raspberry PI or similar running Linux for some programming equipment.

Thanks,

Chris.

Hi Jeremy,

That only has amd64 and i386 versions for Linux. There is no ARM version.

Unfortunately, there are no similar tools for the ARM version.
Sorry for bringing any inconvenience for you.

Hi Jeremy,

Could the source code for the Linux versions be made available so we could recompile for ARM?

Thanks,
Chris.

Hi Chris Cowdery,

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry, we don't have the authority to share the blhost source, however, I think this sharing repository is just you want and hope it can help.

Hi Jeremy,

The gitHub link you posted is very useful for the blhost souce compilation. I am able to build the blhost executable with Visual Studio, porting this to other platforms my be possible.

However, I would like to be able to build SDPhost.exe from source as well. This would be needed to download the "ivt_flashloader.bin" bootloader.

Can you please tell me where I can download the source files for this?

(I have NXP_Kinetis_Bootloader_2_0_0, but I couldn't see the SDP proj there)

thans,

Tony
