SAM-BA 2.10 for Linux not working.
Message #1 Posted by Egan Ford on 6 Oct 2011, 6:06 p.m.

Has any been able to flash the 30b with sam-ba 2.10 for Linux on a Linux machine with real serial port or a USB to serial adapter? I have tried both and in both instances it fails to connect. However kermit can use the serial port just fine.

I have also had no luck with Windows XP or 7 with a USB to Serial.

Thanks.

Try the new MySamBa (to be found on SF) on Windows. It may work under Wine, too.

Is the source there, to port it to Linux? I couldn't find it.

The source is in Delphi so I doubt this is possible. I need Cyrille's approval to give it away.

Unless there's something unusual about the code, it shouldn't be too hard to do a Linux port. Permission is the more serious issue.

Did you use the SAMBA without the "_cdc" tag?
