RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.33, RIFF Box firmware v1.25 released

Posted on by

RIFF Box Firmware 1.25
—————————

  • Added 5.0V USB Power On/Off controlling feature
  • Changed sequence for 32-bit write accesses for ARM11 core (MSM8xxx support)

JTAG Manager 1.33
—————————

  • Improved connection policy:
  • Resurrection/DCC connection to device is implemented in such way that JTAG speed changes have 2 stages – booting stage and working stage.
    Booting stage is the one from the connection start and until the DCC Loader upload is complete. Booting TCK/RTCK speed are setup by JTAG Manager no matter what are the TCK settings by user (JTAG TCK Speed field in the JTAG Manager). Booting speed is hardcoded in the DLL.
    After “booting” stage is complete, the “working” speed is set – the one which is selected by user in the JTAG TCK Speed field.
    If Booting Speed in resurrector DLL is hardcoded as ‘RTCK’ the JTAG Manager would always use RTCK mode during booting stage.
  • Now policy is changed that is when user selects a fixed TCK frequency the JTAG Manager will automatically change booting speed to the fixed TCK too.
  • Fixed bug: if “Use End Address” and “AutoFull Flash Size” were checked there was error setting valid length to read.
  • For Advanced Users: advanced settings are now moved from the DCC Read/Write page (“Notifications…”) into separate button on Box Service page (Advanced Settings button)
  • Added 5.0V USB Power On/Off controlling feature
  • For this go to Box Service page, click Advanced Settings: the Notifications dialog will be displayed, go to “Advanced Settings” page and set desired mode for “Enable 5.0V output” checkbox.
  • When enabled, 5.0V power will be on after any “JTAG” operation executed and will remain “ON” until box restart or until “Enable 5.0V output” checkbox is unchecked and any “JTAG” operation is executed.
  • Added optimization for flashing memory devices which are sector-based (like MDOC H3 or MMC/SD memory cards) if error code 0x3C (write-protect) is received no recover attempts are made.

RIFF JTAG – JTAG Manager v1.29, RIFF Box Firmware v1.21 released

JTAG Manager 1.29
—————————

  • Fixed bug with plugins managing in case there is more than 1 plugin DLL available;
  • Currently selected plugin is remembered now and will stay on next startups;
  • Fixed Access Violation error during software startup in case there is none resurrector DLL present;
  • Added Reset Method selection feature for more precise reset operation when Custom Target Settings is active;
  • Updates manager & Updates tracking were completely reworked, and now are based not on the system time but on file’s hashing.
    Thus since now on the JTAG Manager’s installation folder can be copied/moved/re-installed (whatever else) without need to re-download full set of files again.
  • (SDK): more functions are now available (exported) for future Resurrector DLLs;
  • Many cosmetic changes;
  • FINALLY: “healed” the optimized DLL loading scheme:
    User shall see: “Found and Initialized: XXX New and YYY Old External Repair Pack(s)” where XXX must be always non-zero only on first startup after there were new DLLs downloaded from the support.
    On following JTAG Manager startups XXX shall be always equal to zero (!!!)
    For example, after downloading 3 more new DLLs while there were 100 Resurrector DLLs already installed, after JTAG Manager restarts user shall see:
    Found and Initialized: 3 New and 100 Old External Repair Pack(s)
    on next and all following restarts user shall see:
    Found and Initialized: 0 New and 103 Old External Repair Pack(s)
  • Re-worked balloon hints system – Own (not windows’) balloons are shown, so no matter now what are the windows’ tray icon settings are.
  • Added balloon hints for cases when target is not detected, error code 0x45, Device Id = 0x000000E1.
    Don’t forget that balloons hints can be switched on or off from the DCC Read/Write page – click “Notifications…” and select”For Advanced Users” page to see settings
  • – JTAG Manager now has new Icons 🙂
  • – Improved JTAG Manager restarting during updating itself

Firmware 1.21
—————————

  • Added RX-polling feature (debugger-to-target) for PXA3XX DCC transfers.

RIFF BOX firmware is able now to wait (if resurrector DLL will request so) for PXA3XX target to be ready to accept
next packet over DCC: this feature slows down a little the JTAG-to-Target DCC
transfers but guaranties no packets loss for slow clocked targets;

Please click “Check For Updates” button in order to download and apply new files. Closing all running application before starting update process is recommended.
