Pull in Windows Bootstrap Loader Python Package #249

Open kb1lqc opened 7 years ago

kb1lqc commented 7 years ago

This PR creates a faraday-bsl program which pulls in a lot of @kb1lqd code used to bootstrap load the FaradayRF hardware. This ONLY works in windows and please be sure to have the FTDI drivers installed (http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm). This whole operation isn't ideal but it's what works for the time being.

Changes

Operation

After configuring the config files, updating the master firmware from the internet, it's as simple as... bsl

@kb1lqc

It won't work for me (com port setup earlier):

Is there any other info? What you posted doesn't tell me much unless I'm missing something.

kb1lqc commented 7 years ago

Yeah @kb1lqd we will need to figure out what you're doing. I uninstalled all Faraday software from my computer and cleaned out config/file directories followed by installing with a wheel file (same as installing from PyPI). Bootstrap loading worked for me fine.

I did notice that I still had some issues with having to run it from the github directory but that is not the issue you seem to be having. In order for this to move forward I need more info from you on what isn't working.

First, the unit trying to be reprogrammed does get RESET and reboots but doesn't reprogram due to the BSL program failing.

Interesting, when I run in from windows command line:

Strange @kb1lqd I tried this on my Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and it worked fine. Can you try installing from a fresh git? Have you rebooted your computer and tried?

kb1lqc commented 6 years ago

Oh snap the problem maybe that my setup.cfg never pulls in etc/faraday/bsl-scripter-windows.exe as a package element. etc/faraday may not be the best folder but it works for now. On both my computers I probably manually moved this so it's present in both locations as I developed on it. I thought I cleaned it out though but this definitely needs to be included in setup.cfg along with any other exe required.
