Instructions how to build dfu-util on OS X

Oh I tried to download Benf’s 3.32 and dfu-util complains that it can not find a valid DfuSe signature, I tried specifying this via -D 0x0800[C4]000 for the app and lib, and the device starts the lib, but quickly fails and reboots in a very quick, but unending sequence. I am not sure what is going on there.

You probably figured it out, but just to clear this up: The upload command generates a raw memory dump from the device, which probably got written over your original dfu file. BTW, the latest git version should refuse to overwrite an existing file, but I am not sure what you have. So if you tried later to download this file it would have no dfu or dfuse header information and you will see a “signature” error.

When you specify an address for downloading, you force it into “raw” download mode instead of dfuse file mode. So if you in this case use a dfu file, the dfu/dfuse header information in the file will be copied over as well, which will break. The “real” firmware code will be shifted and all addresses will be wrong.

For future versions, I think dfu-util should be able to detect whether it is talking to a dfuse device, and then switch automatically to dfuse communication mode and expect a dfuse file (unless an advanced user wants to download a raw binary file to it). So –dfuse default will not be needed, and –dfuse address might be renamed to avoid confusion.

PS. I can tell you that you are not the first one to get confused by upload/download on microcontrollers

Yeah I had figured out that part, but I am still losing.
delete all copies of 3.32 redownload the commands seem to work after several tries.

Unfortunately Lib splash screen shows up with mangled App version, and runtime is a grayed line on the right with 3 tiny yellow dots, and one larger yellow blotch on the 2 chat position from the bottom. no graphing no characters, no lines. other than the grid lines. Also about the same height from the bottom is a grayed line the size of a text line that goes from left to almost the right. I have reloaded both several times and see the same result.
