Charles - As a quick followup, the Prestige (both FW 2.13 and 3.09 - 2.x is pre-Eaton, 3.x post) reply to the topology block query thus: 3.064046 send_command: (4 bytes) => ab 01 43 11 3.136246 get_answer: (2 bytes) => 34 43 Unfortunately, this does not correspond to any of the defined topology values in the spec, and the block size that was returned from block 0x01 was 2.410028 Length of topology block: 36864 for 2.13 firmware and 2.518815 Length of topology block: 127 for 3.09, neither of which accurately is reflected in what is returned when that block is queried. I note the FW levels, since the last guy who I saw in searches who asked about this unit basically got blown off and was told to get more current firmware. I don't think there is any . . . . - Tim _______________________________________________________________________________________ On 02/12/2014 08:21 PM, Charles Lepple wrote: > > On Feb 2, 2014, at 4:40 PM, Tim Dawson wrote: > >> So, I made a change to bcmxcp_ser.c to handle block 0x43 a tad differently. >> And after this, all works - the topology *IS* correctly detected, all meters >> and functions show, it's golden . . .
