Toneburst MIOS Upload Issues Thread 1

[toneburst]

I’m having major problems uploading MIOS to the core PIC for my MIDIBox SID.

I get the follwing when I try to upload:

Starting upload of update_without_installed_mios.hex

Hex file contains code in MIOS range, forcing reboot!

Received error code 0C: MIDI IN Frame Error

This was an expected error - please ignore!

I’m definately getting a MIDI in signal between pins 26 and 31 of the main PIC chip, and between pin 31 of the PIC and pin 6 of the Optocoupler. I can’t try the MIDI-OX loopback tests, since I’m on a Mac, but I’m pretty sure the PIC is receiving something from the Core’s MIDI-In port now.

What else can I try?

Incidentally, MIOS Studio doesn’t seem to work on my PPC-based Mac G5 (MacOS 10.4.8). It runs OK, but the GUI doesn’t redraw correctly, and I can’t route my MIDI in and out ports to MIOS. Oddly, it works fine on my Intel MacBook Pro.

I remember that I read about a similar issue short time ago somewhere else in the forum?

Hmmm… that’ll be me too… I double-posted, I’m afraid.

Perhaps this has already been resolved..

Hex file contains code in MIOS range, forcing reboot!

Can you specify your entire upload setup?

What kind of PIC are you using?

Where did you get it?

Was it preloaded with MIOS? (I believe both Mike and Smash sell preloaded PIC’s only)

What program are you using to upload?

Can you specify “update_without_installed_mios.hex” I don’t recall a file with that name.

[toneburst]

Hi moogah!

thank for getting back to me!

Not quite sure what you mean about this already being resolved. I may be missing something obvious though…

My Setup is:

• SmashTV PIC with Bootstrap v.1.2 preloaded

• Using MIOS Studio to upload running on an Apple MacBook Pro under MacOS 10.4.8 using NI Kore and M-Audio MIDISport 2x2 USB MIDI interfaces (tried both with similar results).

• I got the HEX file from the MIOS downloads page, it’s the very first file in the list. maybe it’s completely the wrong one…

Ah… I may have answered my own question here. Is it completely the wrong file?

[smashtv]

Is it completely the wrong file?

Hi Alex…Sorry your having troubles…

“update_without_installed_mios.hex” is the wrong file, you should be sending “mios_v1_9c_pic18f452.hex”

I moved the other thread about this same issue (now known as “Toneburst MIOS Upload Issues Thread 2”) here in hopes we can end this crossposting madness.  :

[toneburst]

Doh!!

I’ll give that other file a go as soon as I get a chance.

Incidentally SmashTV, do you remember that red neg. LCD you got for me? I finally got around to hooking it up at the weekend, and it turns out it IS pink, as a couple of people suggested, and the background is definitely not black, as the pic on the Crystalfontz site indicates. I’m not too disappointed though- it actually looks quite nice! I’m considering getting a white neg. one and putting some sort of coloured gel over it. That way, I can have any colour I like.

PS

sorry about the cross-posting

[toneburst]

OK, well I tried the correct file, but sadly it didn’t work.

Different set of errors this time though. Not sure what that means though.

Looks like the MIDI in still isn’t working.

I’m off to work now.

I think I was getting MIDI feedback there, for some reason…

Ill run another test tomorrow Thorsten,

I’ve been distracted by non MIDIBox-related projects this evening (I’m working on a little music commission that I’ve been putting off for too long).

Thanks once for all your help on this (and of course, for the whole MIDIBox thing ).

That should have been “Thanks once again…” of course. I need a proof-reader here :[

[Mr_modnaR]

music commission sounds interesting, what is it? tv ad?

[toneburst]

Believe it or not, it’s music for an exercise class. The problem is, it’s for people using rowing-machines, which means it has to be really slow- ie 60 to 120bpm. And it keeps changing tempo too. Quite tricky keeping things interesting for 30+ minutes, especially at a really slow tempo. And it can’t be too rhythmically interesting because it’ll put them off their stroke. Hmmm…

Nope

I’ve tried 2 different MIDI interfaces, under XP and MacOS X. I seem to get different error messages every time. This is my last attempt:

I tried doing the PC test 2 from the MIDI problems page, but can’t work out how to do it. Is it likely to be a problem with the MIDI interface though (given I’ve tried 2 different ones)?

Any help very gratefully accepted.

With error-messages, yeah…

[toneburst]

OK, I think I’ve really f*cked it now…

After MIDI-Ox crashed completely (can’t believe how flakey MIDI is under Windoze), I still can’t upload MIOS after the Nth attempt (same selection of error messages), but now the LCD shows a row of bars, but this time with a line across them.

Any clues anyone, I’m completely lost and this is starting to take over my life!!

Hey Toneburst. As you have probably seen, i have been flooding the forum with questions lately. So my advice will probably not be worth much. BUT, i have had problems with midi in the last couple of days, and i have also had problems with misbehaving LCD. So here goes:

Have you tried: mbsid_interconnection_test_b.zip and lcd_interconnection_test_v1.zip

Many of my problems with midi has come from stupid short cuts, not just on the core module. Also from other modules, and those pins you put on the SIL headers touching each other (mine are not in any kind of plastic wrapping, yet). So check also for shorts on other modules.

I think that the fact that you keep getting unexpected upload request could indicate that MIOS was restarting all the time, perhaps because of some problem with power.

Again, i dont really know what im doing. So i might be far off

cheers
