Hi Bob,

The newer version of Bully Bootloader displays garbage when I want to
print out accented characters. I had no such problems with the old
version (which has no binary transfer). It turned out, that the line
"temp = temp + c;" in the new version had to be replaced by the
following line (I simply copied it from the old version of the
program):

temp = String::Concat(temp,Convert::ToString(Convert::ToChar(b)));

Next I ran the dataXfer_test program. All the 40 tests were
successful. Can I expect any surprise, or can the above mentioned
modification regarded as a final solution of my problem?

Best wishes,

István

Istvan,

I don't remember the exact details behind that change. I remember struggling with some encoding problems when I put the dataXfer code in, but don't remember why I made that change. Unfortunately, the revision history is buried in an old subversion archive, which didn't get converter when I switched to mercurial. However, the dataXfer_test code runs internal tests on the PIC, but doesn't test the dataXfer to bootloader connection. I'd try some dataXfer to bootloader operations (perhaps chap12/ledpwm.c) to see if it still works with that change.

Bryan,

Sorry for my misunderstanding concerning the dataXfer_test. Now I have
tested chap12/ledpwm.c and dataXfer_demo. Both seems to work as
expected. Thank you for suggestion.

Glad it works! I'll investigate a bit and see if I can put the change in as well.
