ponyprog's Introduction

3.1.3 - PonyProg - Serial Device Programmer

PonyProg is a serial device programmer software with a user friendly GUI framework available for Windows and Linux. It's purpose is reading and writing every serial device. With PonyProg and SI-Prog you can program Wafercard for SAT, eeprom within GSM, TV or CAR-RADIO. Furthermore it can be used as a low cost starter kit for PIC and AVR. Ponyprog supports AVR, SPI eeprom, AVR micro, 12C bus 8bit eeprom, PIC 16 micro, PIC 12 micro, AT89S micro and SDE2506 eeprom family chips. You can open any HEX, e2p, mot, csm, rom, eep, bin files and burn them to uC or PIC. You can even backup the old program on the chip using Ponyprog. Ponyprog enables the user to write, verify and erase data on the microchip. Also setting fuse bits and locks using Ponyprog is possible. You can save any HEX file to BIN file or eep file, BIN file to HEX file or MOT file and vice versa so you can use Ponyprog as converter too. Ponyprog offers serial or parallel port programming for uC's. You can even change polarity of control lines without touching the wires using I/O port setup.

ponyprog's Issues

Build Problems

Using Linux Mint 19.3 amd64.

Trying to build current version cloned from github today.

Installed dependencies as stated in INSTALL, plus qt5base-dev, qtdeclarative5-dev, .

When running create_elf_binary.sh I get this

./create_elf_binary.sh

There are no errors in /ponyprog/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log

But there seems to be a problem with qhexedit2/src which does not exist.

Not a cmake expert here, just a lowly user.

Any advice would be appreciated.

separate config file for supported ic's

Not to configure hard coded in PonyProg the information about IC's, but instead this to load the information from xml file. Xml file is easier to edit with syntax highlighting (supported in mostly editors), then json. Example:

After version with implemented UART interface i can implement the new parser for PonyProg. Possible, flex/bison based. Possible to use the Qt xml parser.

Incorrect fuse bits order for ATTiny2313

Hello!
The order of the fuse bits in the high fuse byte is incorrect for ATTiny2313.
Here is the fuse bits dialog in Ponyprog:

And here is the table from the datasheet:

So as you can see, the bits are in the wrong order in the dialog box. Including the RSTDISBL bit.

And also, is there a way to make the high byte and the low byte visually separated from each other in the interface? It seems to be more convenient to check them against the datasheet this way, and also to distinguish better.
Thank you!

Build fails with LTO (odr violation)

I tried to build with the following *FLAGS to optimize the build: -flto=4 -Werror=odr -Werror=lto-type-mismatch -Werror=strict-aliasing

Note the -Werror=* flags are used to help detect cases where the compiler tries to optimize by assuming UB cannot exist in the source code -- if it does exist, ordinarily the code would be miscompiled, and this says to make the miscompilation a fatal error.

I got this error:

hardware support

does ponyprog support ch341A or PL2303 cheap chips?
thanks

Move to qt5

Kde team said
Currently Qt4 has been dead upstream and we are starting to have problems
maintaining it"

Now qt4 is removed from different distributions. Offer to switch to qt5.

compilation issues on various platforms

Hi,

after the ponyprog package was accepted into the unstable archive of Debian the build daemons have spotted some compilation issues. Mainly to a to generic usage of #ifdef __linux__.

https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=ponyprog

For the Buster release only the white filled rows are important because these are the release critical platforms. So far I can see now the inclusion of sys/io.h in the file SrcPony/ponyioint.cpp is problematic as this header is highly architecture depended. A possible short time solution would be to include the needed functions from this header into a own header or cpp file. If this isn't possible the build support should be decreased to platforms which are supported.

I'm happy to help out with testing the compilation on the currently not working platforms, but I don't have a big C++ and in detail no QT experience.

Ponyprog 3.0, CancelIOEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll

hi,
can you please help to look at this.
for xp is not working.

perhaps this is the issue

PonyProgFT / More documention available or alternatives?

Hello,
I've seen that there is a circuit diagram and component placement for an USB adapter called PonyProgFT, that's very interesting since using the parallel port has become very problematic (in my new PC even my parallel port pci-e card won't work with ponyprog anymore).
Is this just a concept/prototype or is it already working fine? I would really like to have one of this, is additional information anywhere to be found (BOM, PCB layout)? In case not, is there any alternative?
Is it possible to have optical isolated I²C with it? I use a modified EasyI²C interface with 4 optocouplers, as I had to read-out EEPROMs from devices with weird voltages and sometimes different ground potential. If nEN_BUS is fixed high I think it should work to connect optocouplers (SDA/SCL in/out is connected at the side of the optocouplers where the device to program is).
Best regards
Stefan

Windows installer with optional installation of Qt5 libraries

Hi!
is it possible to do the windows installer with optional installation of Qt5 libraries: as downloading option, or to create the alternative installer without included libqt?
Thanks!

How to build?

Can you write instructions how to build?
I got error

PCB Layouts

Please provide a reference PCB layouts (front and back side) for all the modules for PonyProg3, because on the old site I can see only the parts side of PCB layouts, but not the side with paths. I also assume that maybe the schematics ware changed due to newly added support for new IC's.
Thank you in advance :)

USB adapter support

According to PonyProg website USB support have been on the TODO list for quite a while now. Issue #3 mentioned that it was the was first priority after porting it to QT.

It seems that @eduard-x have done some progress on reading an EEPROM using a CH341 based adapter, with plans to support CP2102 and PL2303 based adapters. Unfortunately, the branch seems to be inactive since 2019. There was also some activity with PonyProgFT, which version 3.1.0 added support for, but it seems to only mention AVR chips.

Is there any current plans to support USB adapters for EEPROMs? Serial interfaces are almost non-existent by now making it almost impossible to use PonyProg as an EEPROM reader and writer.

WHAT IS HW ?

Hi!
I need your help in debugging. At this moment i have implemented in "libusb-patches" branch the functions for bit-banging. All HW connections are like here: i2c rs232 but without z-diodes and instead RS232 connectors i use this board ch341 board at hackaday in UART mode
Description for connectors from my file in branch:

/**
 * ch341a modem connections:
 *
 * rs232 -> ch341  description
 *     1 -> 18     data carrier detect
 *     2 -> 6      Rx
 *     3 -> 5      Tx
 *     4 -> 20     Data Terminal Ready
 *     5              Ground
 *     6 -> 16     Data Set Ready
 *     7 -> 21     Request To Send
 *     8 -> 15     Clear To Send
 *     9 -> 17     Ring Indicator
 **/

And i'm getting from PonyProg followed debugging list (project compiled with enabled debug option):

I'm trying to find the find the bug(s), but possible with more eyes we can find this faster :)
Do not forget under Linux to install the file uart/rules.d/99-ponyprog.rules under /etc/udev/rules.d/ and restart udev for user access to HW

some small fixes for spelling and desktop file

Hi,

I picked up the v3.0.0 tag and reworked the source into a Debian package. The package was accepted by the Debian ftpmasters a few hours ago. So if all is going well it will be part of the Buster release in some months.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ponyprog

I added some additional patches to the package, too of them are about fixing some misspelled words, and one is about adding a Keyword entry to the desktop file. Please consider to include these fixes into the source.

https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/ponyprog/tree/debian/sid/debian/patches

And Lintian, the main QS tool for packaging in Debian, is mentioning that the Icon for Ponyprog isn't available in a recommended resolution. Is it possible to add a SVG graphic to the source so I can created the various sizes of the icon while packaging? Or add various sizes of the icon to the icons/ folder?
