Follow the rules or be assimilated. Hi Neil, yes...no chance. Linux is insecure...you know. It makes it possible to spy the firmware and decrypt it on the way to the charger. Windows is much more secyre. Earth is flat and there was no landing on the moon. I believe in Santa Claus. Cheers Meino

As Linux user by heart I have no Windows. Have you tried contacting the manufacturer to see if flashing from Linux is possible? -- Neil Bothwick I am MODERATOR of BORG.

[gentoo-user] Flashing hardware via WINE ?
Hi, I have a smart NiMH-charger with serial port (normally used to dump chargeing curves to the PC). The chargers firmware can bei flashed with a flashtool provided by the vendor. The communication is via serial port. I have a PCI=>serial.ports-card installed in my PC. The command file results in this information PE32 executable (GUI) Intel 80386, for MS Windows . As Linux user by heart I have no Windows. May the attempt to install wine and use it for this purpose a thinkable way or are the precoditions that way, that it is due to those a NO-NO...? Does anyone have experience with such an attempt? Cheers Meino
