NXP Xplorer board definitions should be brought up to date

[Renaud-Pagin]

I try since this moorning to make it working with python2.7 or python 3.0

Linux distro : Parrot Debian based Hardware : NXP LPC43xx

I compiled flash and can flash the board in DFU mode, but once flashed, i can not use host tools to reflash / request data informations.

I followed the step by step 2 times ... and retry but i do not see any error during the build / install process.

I continue to find ... if some one has one idea :-)

On python2.7

$sudo python2.7 /usr/local/bin/greatfet_info Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/greatfet_info", line 11, in <module> load_entry_point('GreatFET==0.0', 'console_scripts', 'greatfet_info')() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 484, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2714, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2332, in load return self.resolve() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2338, in resolve module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GreatFET-0.0-py2.7.egg/greatfet/__init__.py", line 4, in <module> from .greatfet import GreatFET File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GreatFET-0.0-py2.7.egg/greatfet/greatfet.py", line 5, in <module> from .board import GreatFETBoard File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/GreatFET-0.0-py2.7.egg/greatfet/board.py", line 18, in <module> from pygreat.board import GreatBoard File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/pygreat/board.py", line 16, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pygreat-0.0-py2.7.egg/pygreat/comms.py", line 508 timeout=1000, encoding=None, max_response_length=4096,

With Python3

For now, master is a bit unstable as we work to move everything over to the new communications protocol. The NXP Xplorer board definition still needs to be updated in the host API. :)

I'll create an issue and hopefully get to poking that relatively soon. In the interim, you're welcome to use the commit just before we moved to the new comms protocol, which you can find in the pre-libgreat tag.

Thanks Ktemkin ! I will do and report status !

For new 'dev' or 'master' updated , i will be able to make some test/review/debugging ...

[Renaud-Pagin]

Thanks You !!

Here is the result of my testing with tag "pre-libgreat" It still have some issue with python 2.7 ( can not import GreatFET ... , circular dependancies ?? ).

But i confirm that under python 3.6 i successfully flashed my NXP Xplorer, first in DFU mode then in Flash mode. greatfet_info cmd works correctly !

Hello, I'm still running into this issue in 2020 :)

I'm using Python 3.6.9 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

I have basically the exact same issue as Renaud. I can flash the NXP Xplorer initially in DFU mode, but afterwards, can no longer issue any commands to the board. Running "gf info" results in a "KeyError: 'spi_flash'" error with the board plugged in.
