Oh, good grief. It didn't download what I thought it did. My bad.

Re: [Testers Needed] GD-77 Firmware Loader for Linux and OS-X

Probably something weird to do with Mono on ARM? I do have libusb installed at /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libusb-1.0.so.0
Found some references that said that LibUsbDotNet.dll will only load libusb-1.0.so and not libusb-1.0.so.0, so I created a symlink called libusb-1.0.so and then it worked.

Re: [Testers Needed] GD-77 Firmware Loader for Linux and OS-X

I tried this on my Raspberry Pi (running Raspbian) and got this error: ERROR: libusb-1.0 library not found. This is often an indication that libusb-1.0 was installed to '/usr/local/lib' and mono.net is not looking for it there. To resolve this, add the path '/usr/local/lib' to '/etc/ld.so.conf' and ...

Re: [Testers Needed] GD-77 Firmware Loader for Linux and OS-X

For Linux users, don't forget to tweak the udev config, otherwise usbhid will claim the USB interface, and communication won't work)
Could it be coded to talk to the HID interface instead, so that this is not needed?

Re: Should the md380-dfu firmware loader work?

If you've got a Python loader that works, that should meet my needs nicely.

Re: KC7RBW

I actually bought a GD-77 a long while back and sent it back because I was disappointed in the commercial firmware. Bought one again this month so that I could try OpenGD77 and I'm delighted. Thank you and Kai and others for making this happen.

Should the md380-dfu firmware loader work?

I'm a Linux user most of the time. I have a Windows machine for the rare times I need one, but I don't keep it handy. Travis Goodspeed's MD380 Tools includes a DFU (device firmware update) tool that I've used to upload firmware to my MD380. I understand the bootloader in the GD-77 may be very simila...

Hello, I'm Andrew KC7RBW near Seattle, Washington where I help keep a Cloud running smoothly. I love the idea of being able to fix a bug in the firmware of my radio, rather than hope that a manufacturer will get around to it someday. Currently looking for ways to contribute. https://github.com/ajorg...
