Evic is a USB programmer for devices based on the Joyetech Evic VTC Mini.
*Untested
evic-sdk <https://github.com/ReservedField/evic-sdk>
_*Flashing Presa firmware to a VTC Mini requires changing the hardware version on some devices. Backup your data flash before flashing!
Install from source: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Using evic-usb
requires cython-hidapi
. You can install it using pip
:
::
$ pip install hidapi
Building cython-hidapi
requires libusb headers and cython. On Arch Linux they can be obtained from the repositories by installing packages libusb
and cython
. Debian based distributions will have packages libusb-1.0-0-dev
and cython
.
On Windows you will also need the correct compiler for your Python version. See this <https://wiki.python.org/moin/WindowsCompilers>
_
page for more information on setting up the compiler.

Building python-evic:
::
$ git clone git://github.com/Ban3/python-evic.git
$ cd python-evic
$ python setup.py install
Allowing non-root access to the device ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The file udev/99-nuvoton-hid.rules
contains an example set of rules for setting the device permissions to 0666
. Copy the file to the directory /etc/udev/rules.d/
to use it.
See --help
for more information on a given command.
evic-convert
^^^^^^^^^^^^
evic-convert
is a tool to encrypt/decrypt firmware images:
::
$ evic-convert in.bin -o out.bin
evic-usb
^^^^^^^^^^^^
evic-usb
is a tool for interfacing with the device through USB.
Dump device data flash to a file:
::
$ evic-usb dump-dataflash -o out.bin
Upload an encrypted firmware image to the device:
::
$ evic-usb upload firmware.bin
Upload an unencrypted firmware image to the device:
::
$ evic-usb upload -u firmware.bin
Upload a firmware image using data flash from a file:
::
$ evic-usb upload -d data.bin firmware.bin
Use --no-verify
to disable verification for APROM or data flash. To disable both:
::
$ evic-usb upload --no-verify aprom --no-verify dataflash firmware.bin
