Compilation of firmware problem from MembersPage/SteenAndersen/Questions page is solved.

1 - I did un-install WinAVR version "WinAVR-20050214-install.exe"

2 - Installed the version from "WinAVR-20040720-install.exe"

3 - used, make clean[Enter] ; sh [enter] , then make all [enter]; and this time no errors

Viola.

Actually it only worked on my old download of the firmware from 27 Jan 2005, when i try to compile my latest download from 26 March 2005 it fail with tihis error.\n

sipr.c: In function `sipr_process_inc':
sipr.c:69: error: `sipr' undeclared (first use in this function)
sipr.c:70: error: `sipr_recCRC' undeclared (first use in this function)

Hmmmmmmmmm..........

A: Spir is only added to latest CVS; It seems to me you are not using the released firmware from GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmwareChanges, current CVS is _not stable_, stick to using releases - DB

OK : Follow UP

I was able to compile the "released" version download, so compilation enviroment must be ok, and the 26 mrs. 2005 download i have must be bad or broken. I'll stick to released version.

BUT in the MembersPage/JohanEriksson/VerThreeFirmForDummies that i followed, it says to download the firmvare from csv with the GETFIRM.bat; but that apperently not always a good idea.

So maybe a correcttion to the MembersPage/JohanEriksson/VerThreeFirmForDummies was a good idea :-)


Update: 03 Apr. 2005

OK. I gave up to compile the Firmware, and downloaded the released version form GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmwareChanges

I got the serial port to work from perl by installing Win32-API + Serial port support. And succeded to upload Vems.hex file to GenBoard.

I tried to use Megatune, but the configuration files seems to be wrong. I can see the reealtime parameters like temp, rpm, clt, iat, a.s.o.

Then i trid to install MegaTunix, it seem to work until i enter the motor detail s page then i crashes.

So for now i only have RS232, LCD, PS2, and perl up working

I tested almost all the port's with mdhXX command.

Next i think i have to start consider how the tables.txt and config.txt will look like.


Update: 25. March 2005

I Have Connected and Tested Communication to RS-232, PS2 Keyboard, and LCD Display. I tried the mxc command, ant tried the mcd and got the whole set off parameters in return. YAHOOO....... :-)

So far it's a success; but i must say that it's not that easy, because of the lack off a better toturial or building manual.

The PS2 connection has been corrected in [the manual] - thanx for the feedback.
