dpf-ax: unsupported dpf - requests

Hi Superelchi Sir,

From past few days, I am trying to search in net, to purchase AX206 compatable DPF. But there are so many models and links, Not sure, which will work or which will not work.

Can you please suggest me any compatable AX206 DPF, to purchase and provide me the link to purchase. If possible, suggest me from ebay,amazon or aliexpress. if you have any other links, let me know, so that they should ship to india.

I need 2.4" DPF which is supported and crackable and use lcd4linux

Your help will be really appreciated.

Please help me on this.

Hi RaviShankar,

sorry, I do not know any source for AX206 2,4" dpfs atm.
Seems they are all sold out...

Hi superelchi ,

I've got a buildwin 1,5" 128x128px dpf which seems not supported :

Running on windows - unable to detect flash size
Reading 100000 bytes from flash...
Flash written to file fulldump_win_20150921-210655.bin'.

Looking for firmware.............: Not found.

This in no known firmware!

Sorry, no matching dpf found.

I have tried to run identify.py under debian, but I have got a error:no module named dpf.

I have uploaded firmware to http://pan.baidu.com/s/1qWMg0ck ,please check!

Can you help me?thanks a lot!

@ Mingfeng

sorry, nothinhg I can do
Your dpf is not supported by dpf-ax.
The dpf needs to be based on the Buildwin SDK for AX206.
Yours is based an the SDK for AX208.

I have the same dpf as Eric. I was able to flash the firmware you provided and it works but the up and down keys in the menu do not. Is there a way to fix this?

Please upload a copy of your original fw. I will have a look.

Sadly I forgot to back it up... :( All I had to do the flash initially was the Windows SPI flasher (dpfhack 0.12 didn't initially want to compile on Arch. Too new sdcc (Ive now downgraded to 2.9) Hard coded python paths (And looking for pyversions which is a debian only thing))

So if I'm stuck with a non functioning menu I know it's my fault. :)

EDIT: The main reason I wanted the menu was to turn it off. Is there some command I can send over USB to power it down?

0.12 is a very old version. Current version is 0.4. This version should build under Arch just fine. There is a fix for pyversions for non-debian distris in the current version. Get it here.
If you only need the dpf access library, python modules and helpers there is no need for sdcc (only needed if you want to compile your own firmware.) The current sdcc is not compatible. You need sdcc 2.0 or cc1111. The Makefile for the firmware will tell you so. ;)

Never heard of non functioning buttons before - did they work in the original fw?
Eric did not give a feedback. So I do not kown if the buttons work for him...

None that I know of. Maybe you can get rid of the battery. Then it will turn off when USB looses power.

superelchi

Yeah they worked in original (Both in what was originally on my device and Eric's original firmware dump)

As for the powering off yeah no battery would be a good idea. Short of removing the battery is there any function in the python library to turn it off?

Thanks for the help! I'm just happy to have a frame working at all. The only other one I have is an st2205 based that I can't get the image offset working to save my life.

>>> import struct
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path.append("./Debug")
>>> import dpf
>>> import time
>>> 
>>> d = dpf.open("usb0")
Found AX206 DPF
Got LCD dimensions: 128x128

Did you try to flash Eric's original dump? Does it work?

Sorrry, no.

superelchi

Yeah his original firmware works.

EDIT: Is there any way to flash the original firmware in Linux? Having to load up Windows just to mess with the original has been annoying. I tried the update.py but it complains that it isn't an ihx file.

EDIT2: Aha restore.py

Interesting. New button layout!?
I will have a closer look at the weekend.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

@Parkerlreed

As you already discovered - not an AX206 or not based an the Buildwin-SDK. :(

@Maxipes

Please try attached fw.

superelchi

@superelchi Any update on the Vivitar frame?

Yep. Vivitar uses alternate pins for the up / down keys.
Did some pin-description-fiddeling in the header files.
Please try attached fw. Up / down should work now.

superelchi

Thanks! That works. One thing... they seem to be reversed :P Up is down and down is up.

That's an easy one - buttons switched.. :)
Please try this fw.

superelchi

Cheers! Finally have a fully functional frame that everything lines up on. :D



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/17/2015 10:04AM by parkerlreed.

FYI: uploaded the new version to sourceforge.

But the following model has a partial signature match: acme_2.

@ Shh200438

Please try attached fw.

Do you have a name / supplier for this dpf? Else it will stay acme_10.

superelchi

thank you very much!
there is nothing information of dpf, i used your acme_10, it worked.

Nice. One more . :)
So the name will be: acme_10!
