I saw that WINE has done some more work with USB handling : http://wiki.winehq.org/USB
I am not surprised as I wrote a web server for a Samsung TV in 2002 while at Wind River.Quote:

Actually, IBM was trying to clone the Apple ][. The first PC's had cassette storage, video like the Apple, etc.
Really!Quote:
Too bad IBM did not the have foresight to go with the 68000 (which had a true 32 bit architecture, unlike the 8/16 bit architecture of the 8088)... we're all paying for it now (and have been since day one).
Ah, too bad, looks like Motorola missed their greatest opportunity... just like DR with CP/M.
I didn't know IBM were trying to clone the Apple; it's funny, the INT13h cassette timer subcall is still present in some BIOS's, lol.
Yes, the 68000 internally was 32 bit even tho the external bus was 16 bit, it would do two bus cycles for an external 32 bit transfer.
On the other hand, the 8088/8086 internally were 16 bit, and used segment registers to manipulate the address range beyond 64K.
Heh. Online at the same time ... Yeah, Mot blew it big time on that one.Quote:

Yeah, I an no fan of the X86 architecture. Other than playing a bit with an 1802 and 6502, I used Mot on the desk and in product, from the 6800 to 68040 for my desktop/development and 6802 to 68340 in product. I had Mot based Ataris for a while. I developed a lot of code in the field on an ST or Falcon. I can write assembler for any of them, which is something I don't attempt on X86. I finally got an X86 box to run linux. It is a long way from assembler/editor off tape and code back to tape to 3GHz processors, C, 1TB drive, ....Quote:

Sometime I'd like to talk to you about git. I just got hosed by a CVS merge.
I use git every day... pm me your phone # and we can talk sometime tomorrow.
I am a linux dev
C / C++ / ASM
Hey, nice to meet you :cheers:Quote:

how about you?
Do you think you can get a hook working for the USB so we can use EFILive to flash in Linux finally?
Haven't tried in a long time, might see if it is possible now, openSUSE my mainstay has an emulator for Winders, going to try it out this time.
Shouldn't be difficult. However, we would need some help/details from the EFI Live devs.Quote:

I think one of them said they use Delphi for development (this may have changed), I looked, that is an old compiler, there is a crossover to Linux for it though.Quote:

I am curious if you could tell me how I calculate the transmission temperature from the odbii port. I have a truck-puter that i wrote that plays all my music,nav and stuff and I can monitor everything I want except tranny temp of a 07.5 6.7l cummins (68rfe)Quote:

Right but the comp in my computer is linux. I can help with the dev of the usb stuff but that is something that I have been after for many years. It sucks not knowing trans temp
It should be the same info to make a Windows driver; We need to know how to talk to the hardware (hardware protocol). Then, once we can talk to the hardware, we need to know what to say to make it do it's thing. I realize the latter part is actually done from the userland app, but that info is needed for driver devel purposes in order to verify that it actually works :)Quote:

Here, the install script compiles a kernel module against the running kernel at install time, and installs kmod as a dependency. kmod ensures that if a future system update installs a new kernel version, a new module will be built against the new kernel at the first boot of the new kernel. If the module is stable (which requires the Flashscan V2 hardware protocol to be stable) and licensed under GPLv2 it may be possible to get it put into the mainline kernel tree. If that happens, then a module build would no longer be required for any distros that are based on a kernel version the same or newer than the version where the driver was introduced into the tree.
Are you thoroughly confused yet?
You need the send and receive signal converted to an output.Quote:

Man a Raspberry PI a few tweaks and a small EFILive device could be born, no, laptop of tablet needed. https://www.google.com/search?q=raspberry+pi&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
I have the raw data but what do i multiply it by to get the correct value? Thats what I am after.Quote:

I am not familiar with Cummins/Dodge stuff at all.
Anyone try any more, my com crashed and just now got one back up and going.
Got another lappy on the way, but it will have Winders 10 on it, YUCK! Well not for long.
If you can, go back to Win 7 or Win 8.
I just installed openSUSE 42.1 and left the Winders 10 as it is, if EFILive were Linux friendly I would never use Winders again.Quote:
