unknown port [solved]

[dlutolf]

Thanks for your post!

my pleasure! we've found your BL to be a great thing (at least under M$WIN). it's going to be a great help to distribute hardware and custom firmwares to people who don't have a programmer. means we can tolerate more hard-coded stuff :-)

GUI not working is out of my hand, except if I reworked it using gtk# instead of winforms. Something I wont do.

don't worry about it. as long as I get a console app I'm happy :-)

I'll correct the Linux example in the manual and remove clear screen

sweet

now, some more output:

Code:

$ mono ds30LoaderConsole.exe --list-ports
Loading external device database...file not found: /usr/bin/devices.xml
Falling back on internal device database...353 devices found

Available ports

End of available ports, exiting
Press any key to continue

same thing if I run as root.

FYI:

Code:

# dmesg|tail -8

Bus 004 Device 004: ID 0403:6001 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232 USB-Serial (UART) IC

just out of curiosity, I removed the udev rule that creates the symlink - the problem is not there

do I need to say the same hardware was flashed successfully under windows? since my leds are blinking the way they should (and previous output), I have no reason to believe it's hardware related.

oh yeah.. another remark: I find it strange to look for the xml device list in /usr/bin - shouldn't this dir hold only executables?
and yet another (trivial) one: the loader cannot load /usr/bin/devices.xml when it is a symlink

from the kernel version I suppose you've guessed I have a custom config and not a pre-compiled kernel. let me know if there's any more info I can give you.
