Searching for bootloader times out - Kevin4455 - 2020-05-28
I'm getting:
Code:
Initiating read...
Searching for bl . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . timed out
Read failedwhenever I try to update the dsPIC30F6013A .
Debug mode does not show anything aside from the above. Should I overwrite the bootloader?

If your hardware is ok you most likely have a configuration issue with clock and/or baud rate.

I had some trouble updating the firmware on a dspic30f6013a; initial update worked, but the bootloader can no longer be found later.
Is there a way to "reset" a dspic30f6013a?

It is describe in the main manual. There are two manual options and one automatic.

In the manual:
https://www.ds30loader.com/images/files/ds30-Loader-firmware-manual.pdf
on page 18, it's mentioned that the programmer can erase the bootloader:
On the menu Programmer->Erase Flash Device
but I don't have (nor need a programmer; bootloader was flashed earlier). I'm updating the firmware through code (C#) using ds30Loader.dll:
Code:
clsds30ParseSettings objParseSettings = new clsds30ParseSettings();
objParseSettings.device = objDevice;
objParseSettings.addChecksum = false;
objParseSettings.allowBlOverwrite = false;
objParseSettings.dontWriteEmptyPages = false;
objParseSettings.noGotoBl = false;
objParseSettings.noGotoUserApp = false;
objParseSettings.writeConfigs = false;
objParseSettings.blPlacementP = 1;
objParseSettings.blSizeP = 1;
bool bParseResult = false;
objHex.ParseHexFile(objParseSettings, false, 0, ref bParseResult);
if (bParseResult == false)
{
MessageBox.Show("Parse of hex file failed, write aborted.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
this.Cursor = Cursors.Default;
return;
}
bool bWriteResult = false;
clsds30Settings objds30Settings = new clsds30Settings();
ds30Settings.portName = "COM1";
ds30Settings.baudRate = i115200;
ds30Settings.writeFlash = true;
ds30Settings.password = "pass";
clsds30Loader.WriteDevice(objDevice, objHex, objds30Settings, 0, ref bWriteResult);
if (bWriteResult == false)
{
MessageBox.Show("Write failed", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
return;

I've managed to get it running. The problem was d30Loader's poor design; once the serial port is opened there is a timeout until it's closed provided nothing is written to it. In short, if the API is called from C# and the connection is not closed within the next 5 minutes the code can no longer access the serial port regardless if the PC is rebooted or not.

There is no such functionality either by design or as a bug. Which package are you using?
