Hi.

I have connected an RLink JTAG protocol converter (not RLink Pro) to an USB port on my laptop, and installed its USB drivers from the included CD.

Now I run str7_pgm.exe with the switch R to get the RLink firmware information according to the help to str7_pgm.exe. The output from this command do not differ from when the RLink is not plugged into the USB port.

******** The command line with reply ********

C:Program FilesRIDEBIN>str7_pgm.exe R

STR7_pgm: programming tool for STR7 devices through RLink
Copyright (c) 2005 Raisonance SAS

RLink Serial Number:
Closing all connections... OK

C:Program FilesRIDEBIN>

****************************************

Why doesn't the command return the seriel number from the RLink protocol converter attached to the USB-port?

Regards
Steen

Hi,

Yes, it's a bug in the executable. Thank you for reporting it. I'll correct it in a future version. In the meantime, here are other ways to check the USB com and read the RLink SN:

1. Use RIDE: open a STR7 project, then click "options"->"debug", select RLink as debugger and click "advanced options"->"connect to RLink and read SN"

2. Use RFlasher: open RFlasher and select a STR7 target, then click "connect to RLink and read SN".

3. If you have a STR7 connected and powered, you can use STR7_pgm, but you'll have to use at least one other command before reading the SN:
run "str7_pgm TSTR710FR2 B R".

Best Regards,

Vincent

Hi,

I have corrected a few errors in "STR7_pgm.exe". One of them is the problem you report. I will include the corrections in the next version of RIDE, but in the meantime, you can download the fix there:
ftp://www.raisonance.com/temp/ST/STR7_pgm_fix_070123.zip

Just download, unzip, and read "ReadMe.txt".

Best Regards,

Vincent
