Hi All
I think I have found a solution to the flashing issue with the LX816 -
where the flashing process dies if you try to flash via the Web page
(and probably the FTP too).
I've posted a new article on www.capefox.com for this:
http://www.capefox.com/howto/Flash.htm
The trick to the whole thing is that the flash process requires a lot of
memory to run.
The /malloc /call (that allocates the memory) which should fail if the
fox runs out of memory is not doing that, but is instead turning the
flash process into a zombie process, which explains why the flash
process never quits, but never completes.
So the trick is you have to get every last process that you don't need,
out of memory.
I've included the code (which actually uses the flash code from the
R-2_10 SDK) - although I am still using the R-2_01 for building the
kernel and all the other useful apps. This newer version also supports
calling the flash app from the command line. Which works well for flash
updating your fox via a USB memory stick too.
I have tested this with Web flashing from both Internet Explorer and
FireFox and also via a USB Memory Stick.
I hope this helps.
I will be on leave next week, so may not be on the net much, but will be
back in full force in a weeks time.
Cheers
