Problem installing new firmware.

Post by varnish5000 »

Hi guys.

Having some trouble installing the new firmware image. (version 3.1)

The help page says "download the "PC bootloader programming software" (hc08sprg.exe)" "From the same area where you downloaded the new firmware".

However I can't find the PC bootloader programming software (hc08sprg.exe).

I've done a search for "hc08sprg.exe" and it only comes up with this page http://www.autosportlabs.net/index.php? ... ware_image

I found the new firmwear no problem.

Would be a real help if someone could give me a bit of a walkthrough.

Cheers

Thanks for the link Conrad
Bit of advice for anyone else, it's not

hc08sprg.exe COM1 mjlJunior-V3.1.0.s19

It's

hc08sprg.exe COM1 mjlJunior_V3.1.0.s19 (Note underscore)
that you put into the DOS window.

It then reads;
waiting for HC08 reset ACK (add power) ...recived 0xfc <good>.
Calibration break pulse sent. count: (Then counting numbers that don't seem to stop!!)

I don't know whats wrong?
I have put the correct Com number in the command.
The cable works (USB to DB9) 'cos it can send and recall the data when working with the V3.0 software.
The count has just gone past 1300 when posting this.
When the power is disconected the count continues.

*EDIT*: After 3 attempts it works.

*2nd EDIT* It took 4-5 times to get the sofware working. It seems to write and recall okay now.
Can switch between maps using a wire from the Vref output touched to a wire on the option output.

I updated the documentation to have a better link to hc08prg.exe

Conrad, if you keep having problems let me know. It appears to have been a temporary glitch as I haven't seen it (yet).
