MegaLoader (2006-03-16 04:43:08)

Firmware update tool (BootLoader) that does not require PERL (and support libraries).

Anyone had luck compiling megaloader for linux?

/utilities/megaloader/source$ make -f Linux_makefile.mak

Actually, it compiles and links fine, but:

./megaloader.bin -c /dev/ttyUSB0

Start terminal emulation - ESC to exit

and for keypress (even s or S) it exits.

Shoould it provide an ncurses interface ?

I haven't investigated it much. I guess in command-line mode it works well. (will try)


megaloader will download firmware into the AVR using

the same code sequences as the perl scripts. It uses

ncurses for a fairly complete VT100 terminal emulation.

The original thought was to use VT100 cursor positioning

commands in the maintenance screens and thereby make the

LCD optional.

See MembersPage/DavidHelland for documentation.


It does work, althought needed some source tweaks to compile depending on the GCC used. SVN has been updated.
