CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
I know I'm doing something wrong, but when in the Open GD-77 CPS, I click on "Extra", then select "Radio Type" ( which is a GD-77), then click on "Download and Update", then another screen opens that says" Select release version", but there is no file to select. I assumed the CPS would download the latest firmware files, but nothing is happening.
CPS is version R2021.03.02.01 Any idea what I am doing wrong? BTW, I had the GD-77 radio in DFU mode during this time.
Thanks,

Re: CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
Unfortunately, there is nothing to download. The files have been removed by the main developer of the OpenGD77 software.

Re: CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
WOW, I missed the download opportunity by one day. What do they say, "timing is everything" and in this case so true.
Can anyone direct me to a location where I would be able to download the Open GD77.sgl file and the Open DM1801.sgl file?

There still are some Telegram channels with OpenGD77 firmware archive: @opengd77_fw and @gd77sfirmware.

Re: CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
There is a standalone firmware loader exe for both Windows and Linux, here
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... d_versions
There is a Python version here
https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/ ... wareLoader
Unfortunatly the loader can no longer download the firmware directly as we are no longer allowed to host the firmware because of a screw up with the original software license document.
Re: CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
I don't know what is on Telegram, as I don't currently have an account there
But just go for whatever is the most recent
If they have versions which have _JA at the end, those are for Japanese users and have a differnt font.
So don't use those unless you are Japanese

Re: CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
That's the last and best version.
The ongoing status of the project is unclear at the moment.
There is a grey area with the distribution of the firmware, which potentially could be fixed by changes to the firmware and the CPS.
We should do this regardless, as it gets rid of the grey area.
At the moment I don't know if there are other problems, e.g. as the project uses code from various sources, all with different licenses
I am for KC7RBW to finish his compliance audit, before any decision about the future can be taken.
Either way, the source code and firmware can't stay on github, becuase even if it is software license compliant, it may potentially breach Github's terms and conditions.
So its safer for me to relocate it to a server I pay for.
Re: CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
BTW.
Do you have a callsign ?
Re: CPS not downloading and updating firmware files
Thanks. It looks like the Telegram link is working. Thanks. The Github links are 404.
