Bootloader logic

[mdkendall]

Using the uTaskerKinetis_V1.4.4 distribution; building the uTaskerSerialBoot_FLASH bootloader target; comparing operation with the state diagrams on page 9 of "uTasker – Serial Loader User’s Guide" v1.02.

In the document there is a transition from the START state to STATE_ACTIVE after the UART is initialised. But I don't see that anywhere in the code. The task never got out of the START state.

I added the following after line 179 of Applications\uTaskerSerialBoot\Loader.c which has fixed it:

Code: [Select]

         iAppState = STATE_ACTIVE;
I don't know why that was necessary, but it appears to be working properly now.

Hi

See http://www.utasker.com/forum/index.php?topic=1721.0 (below the release note there is a patch list).
This line of code was "lost" when Ethernet Web Server support was added to the initialisation - it is noticed when the UART laoder is required or when something is typed at the terminal emulator.

Adding the state change as you found corrects it.
