STC8G1K08A-8PIN 7.3.12U on MacOS: doesn't flash

Darwinnn opened this issue · comments

Even though macOS isn't supported, I was able to compile the binary using Linux termios.c dep.

Testing on STC8G1K08A-8PIN was initially promising:

./stc8prog -p /dev/cu.usbserial-1440                                         
Opening port /dev/cu.usbserial-1440: done

However, upon trying to flash an actual firmware, I stumbled upon this issue where the MCU just won't reply back:

./stc8prog -p /dev/cu.usbserial-1440 -d -f ../projects/blink/test.hex

Additionally I tested the erase feature, which actually worked.
I flashed a simple blinky via STC-ISP and after erasing it stopped executing, so I assume it actually erased the flash contents:

I know it was never stated that this was supposed to work on macOS, but maybe it's not something macOS related or the problem is something really simple that we can easily fix. I can assist from my side in case you need any further details or help.
Thanks!

EDIT: I've also tried using different baudrates from 300 up to 115200, didn't help.

commented

It is possibly a known issue, please try flashing with -e argument, something like

./stc8prog -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -e -f foo.hex

I don't have a macbook at hand so if the above change doesn't work, I may need other people's help.

commented

That actually worked!

Thank you very much for helping out! Since this now works on macOS I'll be pushing a PR containing little fixes I made for this to compile properly (on macOS).

You are welcome~
