OpenGD77

Posted: **Mon May 18, 2020 6:43 am**

I looked at gd-77_screen_grabber.py and OpenGD77Form.cs and wrote a program in Python 3 which reads the OpenGD77 codeplug from GD-77.

Next I'll try to run the CPS in Wine and then I'll write a program to upload a codeplug to GD-77.

Usage:

$ ./GD77transfer.py
- reading 24352 bytes: 100%
- reading 15104 bytes: 100%
- reading 81504 bytes: 100%
- reading 4512 bytes: 100%
$ ls -l turha.bin
-rw-rw-r--. 1 jj jj 131072 May 18 09:24 turha.bin

I have tested this only in Fedora 32 with Python 3.8.2.

Sounds interesting.

Re: CPS using Wine

I think Daniel F1RMB tried this and it did not fully work.

I'm not sure if this was just because Wine does not support USB serial, or whether there were other problems.

Try using google to search the forum e.g.

You may find some answers

I got inspiration from this post by OH1KH:

Can I modify this and add it to the firmware repo ?

Yes, of course.

I'm writing now code to upload codeplug to GD-77. So far I have written code to upload flash memory and now I'm looking at EEPROM. So hopefully there will be a new version soon.

Ok.

Thanks.

The protocol is very simple, so it should be easy to upload the Codeplug
