Flash firmware images

This application was designed for flashing usb devices. General purpose - raspberry device (Emlid Edge). Firmware updater generally runs as subprocess of any applications. Interprocess communication implemented via QtRemoteObjects. For use Firmware Updater from your project, you should include main/shared/shared.pri into your pro file. The project is written on C++14 standard.

• Find Edge device in the system
• Boot Edge as mass storage (via rpiboot)
• Get the version of current firmware
• Flash image
• Validate writing (CRC)

• Linux (most distros)
• Microsoft Windows 7 and later
• MacOSX

• Download the Qt installer
• You need to install Qt 5.9.3 or higher, and following packages:
  • Qt Core for your compiler (msvc2015/g++/clang++)
  • QtRemoteObjects

Note: On Windows you should install drivers for rpiboot. Download .exe from official usbboot repo and install drivers for BCM2708 and BCM2710 using command line (Run cmd.exe as administrator):

.\wdi-simple.exe -n "Raspberry Pi USB boot" -v 0x0a5c -p 0x2763 -t 0
.\wdi-simple.exe -n "Raspberry Pi USB boot" -v 0x0a5c -p 0x2764 -t 0

• From directory with project (use shadow build), type in terminal:

  • sh

    cd ..
    mkdir fwupdater-build
    cd fwupdater-build
    qmake "../edge-firmware-updater/fwupdater.pro"
    make

  • pwsh (PowerShell)

    cd ..
    mkdir fwupdater-build
    cd fwupdater-build
    qmake "..\edge-firmware-updater\fwupdater.pro"
    jom.exe

• Note: By default qmake locates in [QTPATH]/[QTVERSION]/[COMPILER]/bin. For example ~/Qt/5.9.1/clang_64/bin/qmake. On Windows, instead of make you can use jom.exe which installs with msvc compiler.

• ccache: For building with ccache add QMAKE_CXX='ccache $${QMAKE_CXX}' to the end of qmake or QtCreator build kit
