Is there source code available for blhost?

brycelembke — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 19:19:20 GMT

For automated updates to my K10 microcontroller my host must be Linux.I want to rebuild the blhost application for Linux since the only executable Freescale provides seems to be for Windows.

Hi,

Are you referring to the KBOOT blhost? If yes the source code is available within the KBOOT package following the path <install_folder>\FSL_Kinetis_Bootloader_1_0_2\validation\blhost

Hope this information can help you.

Hi,

Have you ever succeeded in writing a Linux version of this tool? I would be highly interested in it too.

Yes, we did get this to build under Linux. Follow the README.txt that I put there (you will need to install CMAKE). This works with serial, I haven't tried it with USB (and may have even disabled it).

Hi Bryce,

We are now facing the same Linux tool issue.

Tried to download your .tgz file, but seems not available now.

Can you share the file again?

Thank you!

Benjamin

hi brycelembke

Did you compile blhost NXP_Kinetis_Bootloader_2_0_0? They have the make file but we need to git rid of udev as we need UART not USB.

Thanks

Links are dead now. Is there a way to compile blhost?

Any chance the README file mentioned earlier could be attached or quoted here?
