No no, it does work. But the docs are out-of-date, you're right. I just created a template using a really simple procedure:

1) In Total Commander, accessed the Templates folder for my platform (c:\Program Files\Tibbo\TIDE\Platforms\Em1202\Templates)

2) Created a new subfolder called 4-Test

3) Copied files into it from one of the other templates, and modified them.

That's it. When I then went to File > New and selected my platform, the new template showed up. No file editing required.

I'll see what I can do about updating the docs -- you're right, they're out-of-date on this point.

Hi Max,

Just to make sure I understand your problem...

1. You can upload firmware using the serialport ?

2. upload of your appl. works when using Eth (eg. UDP or TCP) but not working when using the serialport ?

3. serial upload of your appl. works, but your appl. can not send or receive anything using the serialport ?

If 1 & 2 = yes
- try to turn off "debug mode" if on. (found under "project - settings"
and try again.

Best regards
/Anders

Anyone got anything else to try before I return the unit?

Uploading firmware using Device Explorer works, uploading a project from TIDE doesn't.

I do not currently have another Tibbo device to test with.

The code I'm using to initialise the port to 2400 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 or 2 stop bits:
ser.num=0
ser.interchardelay=2
ser.bits=PL_SER_BB_8
ser.parity=PL_SER_PR_NONE
ser.flowcontrol=DISABLED
ser.baudrate=ser.div9600*4 '2400 bud
ser.enabled=YES

Using this, on_ser_data_arrival() never triggers.

It does sound like there are problems with the serial side. So, just to double sure, even if you try to update the EM1202's firmware using Device Explorer through the serial connection, it will not initiate the upgrade, right?

Have you tried the same cable with another Tibbo Device? Does it work properly with the other Tibbo Device?

I've used IO Ninja to verify that the devices are indeed communicating. Just nothing with the EM1202

Serial port not working on EM1202-EV board

I've been trying to create a couple of small test programs to communicate with serial devices using the EM1202-EV's built in DB9 connector, but I've not been able to verify any communication with the devices. I decided to try uploading the binary through TIDE as a serial transport and get no response, TIDE sits there with a messing saying "Uploading..." and the EM1202 LEDs don't show an upload in progress. Uploads as UDP transports work fine.
Could it be that I have a bad board?

Are custom platform Templates not working?

The documentation for creating project templates seems a little out of date, refers to a none existent .p platform file. This is using Tide 2.6.25. Is there a more up to date method for creating custom templates, or is this none-functional at the moment?
