HOW TO UPLOAD file.hex to DUINOMITE MEGA ???

[wanderer]

Hello ,

I'm writing you to ask you how can I upload a file converted to .hex by Pinguino v 4 to DUINOMITE MEGA ?


1) What board do I have to select before to use the compiler  (UBW32 795 ,PIC 32 Pinguino OTG , etc...)

2) What driver do I have to use ?



because I can use the compiler to convert file to .hex but I can't upload it even if my yellow and green LED are flashing .

Can you help me please ?  Thanks

Hello,

There are several things you can do.

1) To compile successfully, you need to choose the UBW795 board, but I cannot guarantee pin and peripheral device compatibility. I've had success compiling and uploading to duinomite programs made with Pinguino, but that involved editing a lot of source files of a non-compiled pinguino IDE. Anyway, here are some pin definitions for Duinomite MEGA for the pinguino IDE. If you want to use them, comment out the UBW795 defs in the following files(they are in the .../core/ folder) and replace them with these:

Note: I used those in an older version of the Pinguino IDE, but they are generic defs and should be compatible with Pinguino x4

2) For the upload process - go to the Olimex Duinomite page and download the firmware updater :
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Duino/Duinomite/DUINOMITE-MEGA/

under "Software". Please also look at the important notes. Connect the DUINOMITE-MEGA via usb in bootloader mode and use this utility to upload your hex file.

OR you could buy a PIC32 compatible programmer and use mplab/MPLABX to upload hex files and create software projects for your board.

I modified the parameters and use the USB Bootloader v2.90a but It says

"No address within range in file: volmeter.hex.  Verify the correct firmware image was specified and is designed for your device."


Where is the problem ? Thank you .
