Imade the suggested adjustments in the safe startup mode, however can't get the RME USB Series Flash Tool.app to run. After double-clicking the application, it closes right away again and I don't see any messages in the Privacy & Security prefs.

since I used Apple's migration assistant tool when installing the computer from a previous machine with an M1Pro, it might also be that some remnants of the older drivers I used with a Fireface UFX are still somewhere?


The firmware update runs on all versions of M1/M2. But as it needs the driver, and the driver is not working as long as the device firmware has not been updated, it is necessary to first update the firmware of these interfaces using the former kernel extension driver!


If the firmware is really not up to date (v127 or v138 is current, depending on the hardware version) then you need to install the older driver v3.28a after following the instructions here: -usa.com/rme-macos.html


also I tried the steps described under rme.to/reset and once that was done, ran the Fireface USB 328A.pkg installer again, allowing the needed approvals in the OS X Privacy and Security settings, but no change.


is there a way to locate eventual remnants of previous RME installers, since I used Apple Migration Assistant - with the M1 Pro Mac that had the drivers for the Fireface UFX installed, as a source? Or should these have been taken care of with the command line given under rme.to/reset?


the power supply was faulty, I measured it last night and it only produced a little over 900mA, which apparently was just enough to light up all the control lights in the UC as usual, however not enough to make it properly connect via the USB port to the computer!


UniFlash is a software tool for programming on-chip flash on TI microcontrollers and wireless connectivity devices and on-board flash for TI processors. UniFlash provides both graphical and command-line interfaces.


UniFlash is a standalone tool used to program on-chip and external flash memory on TI MCUs and on-board flash memory for Sitara processors. UniFlash has a GUI, command line, and scripting interface. UniFlash is available free of charge.


a mod for libre redirected me to here from reddit. I for some reason cannot find a single tutorial for using the libre flash tool to flash a operating system (arch arm64 in my case) to a sd card, i am planning to do it through my linux mint vm. if someone can point me in the right place for a walkthrough that would be great. thank you in advance.


im not sure if maybe I explained something wrong or not but, when I made a post to reddit about using arch linux (arm64 image) a dev from the libre account said i could use the libre flash tool with the arm64 image and be able to write it with the tool. Link to my post: Reddit - Dive into anything

Im simply just trying to find a solution.


I just downloaded the RME USB Series Flash Tool to update my RME UFX. Everytime I try to open it, it doesn't. Does anyone know what the problem is? I am running Mac OS X 10.9.2 on a 2x2.66ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon. Thanks


Thank You FolkFreak. You know, I looked behind the unit and did not see the USB port next to the Firewire port. I even googled pics of the UFX and never saw the USB port in the pic. My eyesight must be going or I'm getting old. LOL. Thanks for your help. Your reply made me look at the back of the unit for a second time.


I had the same issue: the flash update tool did not want to open at all, thought the USB connections seemed to be alright (because I could play Mac OS sounds, iTunes, etc...). But I could not synchronise TotalMix FX nor open the USB driver utility.


The issue was only the I had previously switched my UFX in class-compliant mode in order to make it work with my iPad 2. When I switched off the class compliant mode, everything ran smoothly, the flash update tool ran without any issue.


There is a new FujiNet-Flasher program in the works and I am posting the binaries so that we can make sure everything is working correctly by having as many people test it as possible. A big thanks to @apc and @massiverobot for their help with this. There is more to be done on the backend. The goal is to have Github build the firmware and have it auto-magically available in the flasher with support for multiple future platforms.


There are now two MacOS builds of the flasher available. The one labeled "latest" should work on MacOS Catalina and up (intel only). The other is labeled "mavericks" and should work on MacOS Mavericks through Mojave. I have personally tested with MacOS High Sierra.


The new flash tool provides a dropdown to choose your Platform and currently offers Atari 8-bit and Coleco ADAM. 99.999% of you should be choosing Atari Next, click the Firmware dropdown and select which firmware you wish to install. Currently the same 'latest' build (0.5.f8cc4292) and a new SIO2BT build are available. The SIO2BT build is a modified version of the current master branch built against an older espressif sdk that had a smaller BlueTooth footprint. After selecting the firmware some details about it appear and you can hit the flash button to start.


I downloaded the Linux_x64 binary but I get a display like this, all font characters show as little squares. This also happens with the current compiled binary version of the flasher, I had to clone the github repo and run it as esphomeflasher to see correctly rendered text.


The new flasher is amazing! Platform selections to support all the new systems FN supports as well as release version selection and lots of details before download by using the new JSON BOM files on the server! Amazing job @mozzwald and @apc! I can't wait to use this for my AppleII.


In order to use ESP-IDF with the ESP32, you need to install some software packages based on your Operating System. This setup guide helps you on getting everything installed on Linux and macOS based systems.


The tools installer downloads a number of files attached to GitHub Releases. If accessing GitHub is slow then it is possible to set an environment variable to prefer Espressif's download server for GitHub asset downloads.


The scripts introduced in this step install compilation tools required by ESP-IDF inside the user home directory: $HOME/.espressif on Linux. If you wish to install the tools into a different directory, export the environment variable IDF_TOOLS_PATH before running the installation scripts. Make sure that your user account has sufficient permissions to read and write this path.


Using IDF_TOOLS_PATH in variable assignment, e.g., IDF_TOOLS_PATH="$HOME/required_idf_tools_path" ./install.sh, without prior exporting, will not work in most shells because the variable assignment will not affect the current execution environment, even if it's exported/changed in the sourced script.


The installed tools are not yet added to the PATH environment variable. To make the tools usable from the command line, some environment variables must be set. ESP-IDF provides another script which does that.


Technically, you can add export.sh to your shell's profile directly; however, it is not recommended. Doing so activates IDF virtual environment in every terminal session (including those where IDF is not needed), defeating the purpose of the virtual environment and likely affecting other software.


There is a range of example projects in the examples directory in ESP-IDF. You can copy any project in the same way as presented above and run it. It is also possible to build examples in-place without copying them first.


After opening a new project, you should first set the target with idf.py set-target esp32. Note that existing builds and configurations in the project, if any, are cleared and initialized in this process. The target may be saved in the environment variable to skip this step at all. See Select the Target Chip: set-target for additional information.


You are using this menu to set up project specific variables, e.g., Wi-Fi network name and password, the processor speed, etc. Setting up the project with menuconfig may be skipped for "hello_world", since this example runs with default configuration.


If IDF monitor fails shortly after the upload, or, if instead of the messages above, you see random garbage similar to what is given below, your board is likely using a 26 MHz crystal. Most development board designs use 40 MHz, so ESP-IDF uses this frequency as a default value.


With some Linux distributions, you may get the error message similar to Could not open port : Permission denied: '' when flashing the ESP32. This can be solved by adding the current user to the specific group, such as dialout or uucp group.


ESP-IDF supports Python 3.8 or newer. It is recommended to upgrade your operating system to a recent version satisfying this requirement. Other options include the installation of Python from sources or the use of a Python version management system such as pyenv.


A BSP typically supports all of the hardware components provided on development board. Apart from the pinout definition and initialization functions, a BSP ships with drivers for the external components such as sensors, displays, audio codecs etc.


It is recommended to update ESP-IDF from time to time, as newer versions fix bugs and/or provide new features. Please note that each ESP-IDF major and minor release version has an associated support period, and when one release branch is approaching end of life (EOL), all users are encouraged to upgrade their projects to more recent ESP-IDF releases, to find out more about support periods, see ESP-IDF Versions.
