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

[F1RMB]

Hi All,

I've updated the code to make it work under Windows, Linux, and probably OS-X (I can't test this one).
Bear in mind that it's totally beta, and It Works Here, minus some problems under Windows, sometimes...

To run it under Linux and OS-X, you need to have mono installed.

In the zip file, you have a udev config file, it's needed under Linux (copy it, as root, under /etc/udev/rules.d/).

From a terminal, just run it like this:

Code: Select all

mono GD77_FirmwareLoader.exe

it will display the GUI window, or

Code: Select all

mono GD77_FirmwareLoader.exe <firmware_file.sgl>

it will start as CLI, flashing your GD-77 with specified firmware file.

Cheers.

Bonsoir Thierry,

Did you installed the Comm driver from here ?

Otherwise, grab your laptop tomorrow, we will check that at the club


Cheers.

Hi Daniel,
I re-installed the driver, the firmware is loaded by Roger's CPS, but not with your soft.
( Kaspersky blocked me despite the authorization, turning it off for a few minutes, that's OK)

see you later

Installed ok, But it does not find GD-77 (Windows10)

I've been emailed about this and will try this later today (in 3-4h from the time I post this message) when I'm home.
My tests will be done on Arch Linux kernel 5.4, I'll edit this message when I'm testing and probably write about my experience in general.
Very thankful!

Hi,

I will post a new updated version of the software.

Thanks for tour help.
I'm mostly interested by test under Linux and OS-X.

[F1RMB]

So, here is a new version. For Windows users, since you need to install a third party software (LibUsbDotNet 2.2.8), and create a special USB filter, I won't ask you to test this version yet (some of those tasks can be done automatically, but I don't have time at the moment).

For Linux users, don't forget to tweak the udev config, otherwise usbhid will claim the USB interface, and communication won't work)

OS-X users (Alex ), I don't know how it will work on this OS. I guess using libusb-1 as in Linux.

Not mentionned again, but Mono is required on both Linux and OS-X.


Thanks for you patience

Cheers.
