No clear location to find firmware options #183

Closed ksmith0 closed 7 years ago

ksmith0 commented 7 years ago

Where can one find the information about the firmware choices? It does not seem to be in the wiki (I guess it would be here: https://github.com/pixie16/paass/wiki/Pixie-Firmware-Information) and the code does not offer up the options as explained below.

If one runs scope with a firmware option the following message is displayed:

 0
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::invalid_argument'
  what():  XiaListModeDataMask::CovnertStringToFirmware : Unrecognized firmware option - 

Aborted (core dumped)

It would be useful if this message explained the options. In addition the help line does not provide much help:

   --firmware (-f) <firmware>           - Sets the firmware revision for decoding the data

and finally running scope --firmware with no option does not provide much useful information either:

$ scope --firmware
scope: option '--firmware' requires an argument

Ah, the valid choices are in the documentation on the Slack channel. You can look in Resources/include/HelperEnumerations.hpp for more information. This information should be added to the wiki.

I'm working on decoding the older data formats, which includes the change we discussed that checks the number against a range and chooses the right masks accordingly.
