Firmware V28 for DM1x/DM41(L) units

Post by grsbanks »

Firmware V28 has been released for DM1x and DM41 units.

There's something for all models in this update.

DM41

There was a bug in the power-off sequence that left the keyboard inoperative if the calculator was awoken by a message alarm after auto powering down. Fixed.

There are some changes to the Nut emulation layer that fix inconsistencies in synthetic code.

DM1x

All models

When the LCD blinks ("running"), the speed of that blinking was irregular. Fixed.

Thanks SM team! Smooth and fast update, as usual.

And remember kids, seeing "PR ERROR" after updating Voyager models is normal, so don't panic. I did once, and am trying to save you from that embarrassment...

thanks for the new firmware. I've not done this before, as my DM16 came with V27.

Is the Reset pin the left-hand hole on the back, as on the L models?

The credit-card sized models also have two holes but they're not labelled…

edit: to answer my own question, yes, it seems to be :)

RESET is the closest hole to the corner, PGM is the other one.

thanks very much.

I've now printed out (reduced) the back panel pic of the 16L, written the ON codes on the other side, and laminated it to go in the DM16 pouch :)

Re: Firmware V28 for DM1x/DM41(L) units - Help?

Post by lancen »

Greetings,

My first post to the swiss micros forum...

I have just attempted to install V28 on my DM41L. While all previous versions I've installed have gone very smoothly, I cannot get V28 to install. The terminal tells me that it "Can't open file /Documents/DM41L/DM41_28.hex" and I've noticed that version 28 downloads to my Mac as a ".txt" file, which earlier versions I've installed (25, 26 and 27) have not (at least not as I recall). I tried deleting the ".txt" from the file name and go through the installation process, but with no success. Lastly, I did successfully re-flash my DM41L with version 27 to make sure that I am doing the process correctly. (I'm using a MacBook pro with os 10.14.3 and am using the most recent version of MacPorts.)

I am puzzled and would appreciate any help.

Hi there,

Have you checked the SHA1 sum of your downloaded file against the checksum given in the update announcement? If they don't agree then you don't have the file as it was put up on the server and you might need to attempt to download it again.

try renaming the file to .hex, rather than just deleting the .txt:

Code: Select all

mv DM41_28.txt DM41_28.hex
or simply download the file with:

Code: Select all

wget https://www.swissmicros.com/voyager/firmware/DM41_28.hex
and then, in both cases, check its checksum with:

Code: Select all

Thanks very much for the suggestions.

I did, when I started trying to carry out the update, change the file name to DM41_28.hex but no progress. I checked the checksum and it did not match. Ok, I downloaded the file again and ran shasum, getting the correct checksum. I renamed the file DM41_28.hex (getting rid of the ".txt" at the end; i.e., I changed the downloaded file, which was named DM41_28.hex.txt to DM41_28.hex), but the same "Can't open file" message occurrs when I run sudo lpc21isp -control -controlinv -hex /Documents/DM41L/DM41_28.hex /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART 115200 12000 (copied from the swiss micros voyager update page and pasted into Terminal) Hmm. I have to stop for the evening, but if there are any other suggestions, I will welcome them. :)

Best Wishes,

Lance
