HOWTO: Use a Dataman S4 under Linux
Posted: 14 Nov 2011 16:35
I saw a few posts about people asking how to use Dataman programmers under Linux, this is how I use an S4 with Gentoo:
To send a file from PC to S4:
1. Press 'SETUP' on the S4 and change file to 'BINARY' and check the other settings whilst you are there. I use 115200,8N1, no handshaking
2. Setup serial port on Linux PC to correct parameters with setserial
3. On the S4, select chip type and then press 'RCVE'. Make sure you set the range correctly (for a 4Mbit chip it's 0000 - 7FFFF) and press 'ENTER'
4. The S4 is now ready to receive, I use the following command to transfer the file:
The S4 should now be making screeching noises (if you have download sound turned on) whilst it downloads.
To receive, press SEND instead of RCVE and then use this command:
Hope this helps.
