Flashing with DevCube v1.8.4 doesn't work

[alexhorner]

Flashing with DevCube v1.8.4 results in a working M0 but a completely dead D0 when following the instructions in the readme.

Verified by two Discord members, who failed to get D0 to boot when using v1.8.4 but after grabbing v1.8.3 were successful

Where did you find v1.8.3

I can Confirm not getting the board to boot using 1.8.4 the latest release of this repo and the current flashing instructions

I had the same problem.
I found the 1.8.3 version here and now it boots properly.

[KorribanMaster]

@JishinMaster Where did you find the older version?

Maybe it should be hosted on openbouffalo's github?

We'll be putting it on the OpenBouffalo wiki soon

Couple notes: the link to 1.8.3 is no longer valid, it gives me 404. However, flashing works okay with the latest 1.8.5.

However, flashing works okay with the latest 1.8.5.

Erm, I may have hurried a bit with this. While flashing works in the sense that it reports success, I can't get the system to boot.

So where can 1.8.3 be obtained now that the link is broken?

Hi @rtfb,

You can download 1.8.3 now from https://openbouffalo.org/static-assets/bldevcube/BouffaloLabDevCube-v1.8.3.zip which I will update the repo README with and also place it on our wiki,

Thanks for letting us know!

Thanks! v1.8.3 worked like a charm, Ox64 booted on the first try.

Hi All: Thanks for the awesome work! Successful flashing of Ox64 seems to depend on 3 things:

1. Version of BLDevCube (1.8.3)
2. USB Serial Adapter (I tested CH340G)
3. Flashing Baud Rate (230.4 kbps works best for me)

I have documented the details in this article. Thanks! :-)

Hello all,
maybe I found a way to use at least BLDevCube 1.8.4 to flash the binaries to the Bl808 by using the instructions from #47

1. Merging the binaries (m0_lowload...bin, d0_lowload...bin and bl808-firmware.bin) into one file like done in the instructions (steps 1 - 4)
2. Flashing the file via the IOT Tab in BLDevCube 1.8.4 using a baudrate of 115200bps, start address 0x0
