<p>The main tools are <a href=#scas>scas</a> and <a href=#scwr>scwr</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Typically, you edit your config file(s), assemble them with <a href=#scas>scas</a>,
|
|
then load them onto the converter with <a href=#scwr>scwr</a>.</p>
|
|
<p>As long as it says 'device: complete' at the end, <a href=#scwr>scwr</a> has succeeded.</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre><code>C:\sctools> scas foo.sc foo.scb
|
|
No errors. Wrote: foo.scb
|
|
|
|
C:\sctools> scwr foo.scb
|
|

</code></pre>
|
|
<p>On Windows, you may find <a href=#scaswr>scaswr</a> more convenient. It simply combines the two steps.</p>

<h4><a name=scas>scas</a></h4>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<p>Assembles one or more config text files to a config binary file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Usage:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>scas <text_config> [<text_config> ...] <binary_config></code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Output, if everything is fine:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>No errors. Wrote: foo.scb</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Output, if there's an error:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>error at line 4: invalid argument</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Output, if there's an error in an included file in an included file:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>error at line 4: error at line 5: error at line 5: invalid argument</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>To find the error, start with the last line number given, which will be an include command.<br/>
|
|
Then look in that file for the next to last line number given, and so on.<br/>
|
|
The first line number given is where the actual error is.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Only the first error found is reported.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Alternatively, check that included files assemble successfully on their own, before including into another config.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name=scdis>scdis</a></h4>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<p>Dissassembles a config binary file to a config text file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Usage:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>scdis <binary_config> [<text_config>]</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>There is no output unless an error occurs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This tool might be useful to validate that your config assembles as you expected (it was very useful while I was writing scas).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name=scwr>scwr</a></h4>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<p>Writes a config binary file to the converter.</p>
|
|
<p>Usage:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>scwr <binary_config>
|

</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Output:</p>

<h4><a name=scboot>scboot</a> <span class="versioninfo">v1.0+</span></h4>
|

<hr>
|
|
<p>Causes the converter to jump to the bootloader.</p>
|
|
<p>Usage:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>scboot
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>After running this command, the converter should be ready to have new firmware loaded into it.
|
|
Note that, at this point, the converter will not be working as a keyboard any more!
|
|
To cancel the bootloader mode, simply disconnect the converter from the computer and reconnect it.</p>
|

<p>Output:</p>

<h4><a name=scaswr>scaswr.bat (Windows only)</a> <span class="versioninfo">v1.1+</span></h4>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<p>A combination of scas and scwr, designed so you can simply drag'n'drop a config file onto it (or a shortcut to it).
|
|
It will assemble the text config and then write the resulting binary config to the converter, in a single step.</p>
|
|
<p>Of course, it can also be used from the command line...</p>
|
|
<p>Usage:</p>
|
|
<pre><code>scaswr <text_config>

</code></pre>

<hr>
|
|
<p>Source code is provided, along with makefiles etc., to natively build on Windows, Linux and OS-X.<br/>
|
|
Additionally, a mingw32 cross-compile can be used to build the Windows tools on Linux.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>To rebuild the tools, change directory to the sub-directory of build that's right for your OS, and type make.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="windows">Windows</a></h4>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<p>The tools are built for Windows using MS Visual Studio 2003. Porting to later versions should be trivial.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>scwr, scrd, scboot and scinfo rely on a small library of <a href="http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/rawhid.html">RAWHID routines from PJRC</a>.<br/>
|
|
For Windows, this library was compiled to a DLL using the <a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/0/f/90f019ac-8243-48d3-91cf-81fc4093ecfd/1830_usa_ddk.iso">Microsoft DDK</a>.</p>

<h4><a name="linux">Linux</a> <span class="versioninfo">v1.0+</span></h4>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<p>The tools are built for Linux using gcc etc.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="mac">Mac OS-X</a> <span class="versioninfo">v1.0+</span></h4>
|
|
<hr>
|
|
<p>The tools are built for Mac OS-X on Snow Leopard using Xcode 3.2.6 and the version 10.6 SDK.</p>
