[chirp_users] Upload failure on V82
Hi, Just found Chirp and it looks great. I can download from my radio, but the upload fails with about 1/3 progress bar filled. I had a poke around and it looks like the '.img' file is a bit on the short side, and would need to be padded up to size.
After I import an '.icf' and save it as an '.img'. I can then create a fake '.icf' and compare the original with what chirp produces.... -- simon@bourne:~/chirp-0.1.9$ hexdump -v -e '"%04.4_ax10" 16/1 "%02.2X" "\n"' imported.img | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' > fake.icf simon@bourne:~/chirp-0.1.9$ diff -d --side-by-side fake.icf original.icf > diff.txt --
'diff.txt' is attached, you can see that it is missing data (all 0's) at the end of the file: -- 19301000000000000000003238323630303031 19301000000000000000003238323630303031 > 19401000000000000000000000000000000000 .... > 2FF01000000000000000000000000000000000 --
Cheers, Simon.
PS. I don't have UT-118 installed, I'm just looking for a Free/OS way to program this radio.
PPS. Do you have plans to include changing radio configuration (as well as memories?)

Should have said that it is stalled as 1/3. Simon.

I tried Chirp on a Windows machine and it succeeded in transferring the image to the V82. Strange... maybe it's Linux specific or due to me using '/dev/ttyACM0'.
As the '.img' is a bit short it needs to be padded up to size before it can be opened with the official CS-V82 app. Using the following commands you can create a '.icf' from Chirp's '.img' output: -- $ head -n 2 example.icf > new.icf $ dd if=MyRadio.img ibs=12288 conv=sync | hexdump -v -e '"%04.4_ax10" 16/1 "%02.2X" "\n"' >> new.icf --
Cheers, Mungewell.
Hi Simon,
I didn't mean to ignore you all this time, I've just been really busy with other things.

It sounds like it's something to do with your device. I've not seen a ttyACMX device for anything other than certain types of modems. What sort of USB adapter is it? Anything that uses the standard USB-Serial core in Linux should show up as a ttyUSBX device. I've not yet found a single such device that doesn't work for CHIRP. Perhaps it would be good to try a more mainline USB-Serial device?
