I’m using DC 10.66 with an RCM6700, and RFU v4.62, that comes with
DC. Both the RFU and clRFU works fine as long as DC is installed on
the PC. If I take either the RFU or clRFU to a PC that does not have
DC installed, I am unable to program the RCM6700.
I have copied the entire contents of DCRABBIT_10.66\Utilities to the
PC and all the *.bin files in DCRABBIT_10.66\Bios to the PC, and put
them all in the same directory along with my application bin file.
The RFU gives error message: “failed to load image”
The clRFU doesn’t give an error message. But the screen printout is as
follows:
>Sending Coldloader
>363 of 254129 bytes sent
>Sending Pilot BIOS
>3887 of 254129 bytes sent
>Elapsed Time: 9.578 seconds
>
The clRFU never downloads my bin file.
The clRFU commandline is:
clrfu myapp.bin -s 1:115200 -cl .\coldload.bin -pb .\pilot.bin -v -vp-
Anyone know the secret to get the clRFU working on a PC that doesn’t
have Dynamic C installed on it?
I am not using a USB port on the PC, just straight serial. I am not using
a USB adapter. And I have the “Use USB to serial converter” option on
the RFU unchecked.
FYI, I’ve been using the RFU and clRFU for Dynamic C v7.xx,8.xx, and
9.xx for years successfully. Using the very same process as above. So
I am not a novice at this.
Something is different with this new stuff. And I can’t find any
documentation on the Digi website about this, which is not unusual. It is
the worst website for getting information I’ve had the misfortune to use.
