Hi,

PSDSoft is a ST software and you will have to ask this question to ST support if you want an official answer.

As far as I know, there is no way to use uPSD devices in Vista or Windows 7 because of that, but maybe there is something I'm not aware of. Maybe the compatibility modes can do the trick. I wouldn't bet on it but it might be worth a try.

Note that the Raisonance software (Ride and PSD_pgm) have been ported to Vista and 7, 32 and 64-bits.

Vincent

PSDsoft Express 8.66 works in Windows 7 64bit!!

I use PSDsoft Express 8.66 with RLink USB JTAG converter.
For PSD913F2, PSD834F2, PSD854F2.

<<< My configuration 1 >>>

1. RLink driver: RLinkDrv_091013 (search over the web, it is a must because W7 64 need it)
2. PSDsoft Express 8.66 (Not by normal installation, search over the web)

You need to: right click the EasySoft.EXE - Troubleshoot compatibility

Notes that the PSDsoft has problems with editing pin and equation. I still can't sort it out.

<<< My configuration 2 >>>
Install VMware, install your old computer's Windows XP 32bit to VMware.
VMware support USB, the RLink JTAG converter can be redirected to VMware's XP. That means you have a Windows XP 32bit inside your Windows 7 64bit, and use the existing PSDsoft Express and RLink driver.

In some notebook, PSDsoft (in VMware XP) still not be able to edit pin and equation normally, but some works.

Hope these help.

We need to help each others because the leading company always looking for $_$, supporting is wasting $.

Hi,

I'm also trying to use the RLink USB dongle under Vista and Seven 32/64bits and I would like to use the WinFlink tool provided by ST.

Currently I have just done some tests under Seven 64 bits.

I have installed lastest RLink driver from the Ride7 installer and that seems to be OK.

Get the following message from RLinkCapab.exe :

However when I try to use WinFlink and that I test the connection I get a error about the usb not detected.
And if I try to use the PSD_pgm.exe software provided with Ride, I get the following message :

As ST seems not to realy provide support for PSDSoft/WinFlink etc, which solution is recommended to use the Raisonance RLink dongle with recent operating system ?

Regards

Hi,

PSD_pgm should work in the recent Windows. But of course you must use the latest version of the Raisonance software. (both Ride7 and RKit-51) Please first check that on our extranet website.

Your problem could also be a failed installation of the USB driver. Does the BUSY LED of the RLink turn ON and then OFF when you plug it? In the device manager, does the RLink appear under "Jungo" or under "RLinkWinUSB"? (or not at all)

Hi,

I have used the following versions (latest found in the extranet)

Ride 7.34.11.0250
RKit-51 6.10.11.0251

The BUSY LED turn ON and OFF after around 2-3 seconds.

RLink appears as RLinkWinUSB.

So I think everything is OK.

I will uninstall the driver and restart a clean installation following GettingStartedRLink.pdf

Thanks for your help

Regards

Hi,

Seeing this information, it is useless for you to reinstall the USB driver.

Just give me some time to make a few tests and I'll come back with more questions. (or answers ;) )

Hi,

I just tried psd_pgm in vista32 with the RLinkWinUSB driver and it was able to read the RLink SN.

Please make sure that there is no other software connected to the RLink (close all instances of Ride, RFlasher, RLinkCapab, and all the ST PSD tools).

Please also try this command:
psd_pgm U
(just reads the RLink SN, to check USB com)

If possible I would need to have your jci file. (send is to )

I will now try on a 64-bits Windows

Best Regards,

Vincent

Hi,

psd_pgm U

also works fine in Win7-64bits, using the same versions of the software as you...

Please try this command and send your jci file

Best Regards,

Vincent

Hi,

Sorry, things seems to work well better now.

Previously I have just installed the RLink driver and I have copy the psd_pgm.exe file only.
This time, I've installed Ride + 8051 Kit and launch psd_pgm from the bin folder.
psd_pgm U give me the serial without error now.

So I try to use again WinFlink but it returns always the same error. I suppose that it is a WinFlink issue.

At the end, I try to load my data with "psd_pgm.exe myjci.jci". This fails with the error "Error 603 : Part is not blank"

I supposed that this means my chip has not been erased ?

How can I erase the chip with psd_pgm ?

Here is my jci file

Thanks

Hi,

Yes I confirm that you must install the complete software for using the tools. Copying exes alone will not work.

The commands can be taken from either the jci file (if the jci file is the only argument of the command) or from the command-line. (if there are other arguments)

In your test you tell the tool to take the commands from the jci file, and it contains command 2 which means Program+Verify. But this is supposed to be written by the ST tools, not manually, and the spec (from ST) is not public.

So I recommend you override the commands from the jci file by using commands from the command-line.
Something like this should do it for you:
psd_pgm.exe myjci.jci ECPV 1 si_300.osf

To have more details, run psd_pgm without argument in a command prompt and it will display its own doc.

Vincent
