I am not familiar with programming in java. I could not find the axoloti program. Now i found out that i need netbeans to compile the program. I think it should be documented so everyone can use the axoloti. At last i've got my discoveryboard up and running, thanks to the latest get_dependencies.bat . It goes like a charme. Thanks Johannes for the awesome project. I can't wait to get the actual axoloti.

Best regards, Synthy.

Netbeans is not required to run Axoloti, but recommended for developers.
I made some improvements to Axoloti.bat, pointing out what is missing.

Did the STM32 bootloader driver install on your machine? Win7? Win8? Or did you use a different method to flash the firmware?

There is no dist directory on the git so thats why i needed netbeans, to compile axoloti. The stm32 bootloader installed fine. I just had to get the old drivers removed and then the new drivers installed automaticly on my win7.

The dist directory is created/compiled by platform_win\build_gui.bat
The same result as doing a build in Netbeans, or running ant.

I think Windows now has the best installing-from-source scripts...

Anyone care to contribute similar improvements to the OSX and Linux scripts?
* aborting on failure
* skipping downloads if not needed
* applying the libusb patch to a statically-linked dfu-util
* a script to set/check the build environment path
* actionable error message when something is missing

Thanks!

related to this.... Ive noticed st-util does not get compiled on OS X...
this seems to be because stlink-master does not contain ./configure and autogen.sh wont run because its missing autoreconf

not sure this is important, as not used needed to use st-util... 
  
is it necessary, and what would be the steps to get it to work?

There is no need for st-util anymore on any platform. ST-util allows to flash the processor via STLink.
For in-circuit firmware debugging with STLink, I use openOCD, and it also does flashing.

For firmware update there is DFU now, and - currently broken - via SDCard. Now with sdram on the board, I plan to flash the processor using sdram as buffer.
That could work without DFU mode, a separate driver, plugging any cable...
Then DFU mode is only needed to rescue after a failed flash update.

Do you mean the registry key?
Are you up-to-date with the git repository and is it still broken? If so, could you post the exact error message?
Thanks!

The key in build_gui.bat is not correct. Thats why it did not work for me.

Yes Johannes, it is still wrong. In my case, and i don't know if that is in all the cases, it should be: set KeyName=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit
 
It says in your bat: set KeyName=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\JavaSoft\Java Development Kit

I have changed it and for me it works fine now.

Best regards, Pim.

Both reg keys are now in build_gui.bat
should be resolved now
Thanks!
