Im sorry, i wasent using the toolchain, i used the ldr-utils.
I have no idea how to "install" the toolchain.
Your hompage says install it from /, i used untar from / via "sudo tar -xjf /drectories/filename", but then cant use the mentioned programs (bfin-*).

another problem is that i dont have lsz, but sz or sx (i installed lrzsz via synaptic).

while using ldr (from ldr-utils) i still get a send autobaud error for invalid arguments.

OK!
You may want to run minicom or kermit now
Quick tip: run 'ldr <ldr> <tty> && minicom'

Also i have to momentarily place the jumper to pins 1-2 before initiating the transfer, otherwise i get a timeout while reading autobaud.

the rest of the instructions are working without errors (while using sx instead of lsz). But after storing the firmware with zZ i tried verifieng the version, but it responds with the build date "May 8 2008" for firmware "srv-blackfin-020910"

So it seems its still not working at all.

I don't know about the error messages, but the upload appears to have worked. The version you saved was srv1.ldr.recovery, which is dated May 8, 2008. Now you can complete the final steps, using 'sx' instead of 'lsz' (they are the same program) to upload and save the new srv1.ldr

Now i tried to use 'ldr for windows' and it seemed to work. i get the following message

Now i tried to transfer the srv1.ldr file via tera term with the config
Server: 169.254.0.10
Port: 10001
protocol: UNSPEC
unchecked Telnet

tera term connects, but i can't type 'V' or 'X'. with windows hyperterminal it works and i get '##Version - TVM SRV-1 Blackfin - 08:06:54 - May 8 2008' as version string. if i type 'X' in hyperterminal and close it rapidly and open the connection with tera term, i get the 'CCC'-string, but i can't send the srv1.ldr file. are there any special settings in tera term i have to do?

XMODEM .. Send ... select file and select your file, or from the keyboard, use these shortcuts: ALT-F .. T .. X .. S

Hi, I'm trying to restore firmware. Everything seem to work, I'm even able to control robot in step 7 with Java console. But after step 10 and reseting I can't get connection with Java console or TeraTerm.

My matchport settings after step 10:
Baudrate (9600) ?
I/F Mode (4C) ?
Flow (02) ?
Port No (10001) ?
ConnectMode (C0) ?
Send '+++' in Modem Mode (Y) ?
Show IP addr after 'RING' (Y) ?
Auto increment source port (N) ?
Remote IP Address : (000) .(000) .(000) .(000)
Remote Port (0) ?
DisConnMode (00) ?
FlushMode (80) ?
Pack Cntrl (C0) ?
DisConnTime (00:00) ?:
SendChar 1 (00) ?
SendChar 2 (00) ?

Set your baud rate to -1 with clock divisor of 2. That should fix things. Full settings are:

Expert (5) -
for CPU performance, enter FF
for clk?, enter 81
change MTU Size from 1400 to 1024
skip the rest of the options
Channel 1 Serial (1) -
for Baudrate, enter -1
for divisor, enter 2
for flow control, enter 2
further down, for FlushMode, enter 80
for Pack Cntrl, enter C0
for InterCh Time, enter 3
skip the rest of the options
Save and exit (9)

Wich version of tera term worked for you?

In one version, there is a "telnet" checkbox, and in the other version, I think you select "other" instead of SSL.

Hello everyone,

first apologize for my English, I try to explain my problems with the firmware update SRV1.

Through all the steps perfectly, in fact, after running the zZ command on a firmware upgrade, sometimes the firmware works perfectly (the least) and sometimes (most common), the robot after restart it does not answer to any command.

I have a week with this little problem and no longer to try more options.

Greetings

Perhaps you could post a screen capture corresponding to a successful upload session vs an unsuccessful upload session.

Hello again,

I was doing some tests and some screenshots on the first link is the catch of a firmware load failed.

http://triplete.27400.com/srv1/fail1.png

The following is a snapshot in which it functions correctly

http://triplete.27400.com/srv1/ok1.png

What surprises me is that if, when loading the srv1.ldr instead of that, use the srv1.ldr.115k always work and if they just send the srv1.ldr goes sometimes.

Here's the capture of what I commented

http://triplete.27400.com/srv1/115K.png

My question would be, how can i do to recompile with "make clean" and "make" file is generated srv1.ldr115k

Thanks a lot

I made the settings in the security and matchport of channel 1 and it works perfectly. Thank you very much for the help!
