If you're using Arch Linux, I can confirm that I got it working using the drivers and instructions here: https://github.com/juliagoda/CH341SER
Some issues:
find $AMB_ROOT -iname '*.py' -exec chmod 755 {} \;
.board
project from GitHub in both the Adding SparkFun Edge Support section and the 3rd paragraph in the Example Applications section.grep
/sed
replace in Bash. Did that break things? Couldn't tell you.SparkFun_Edge_BSP
, and later incorrectly as SparkFun_Edge_AmbiqSDK_BSP
.example1_edge_test
instead of example1_edge_test/gcc
while running make
for example./dev/cu*
and Mac would be /dev/tty.*
. Mac is /dev/cu.*
and *nix would be /dev/tty*
.Further, I'm still having issues getting these examples to work. Any help is appreciated.
UPDATE: Issue resolved. Seems the CH341 drivers may need to be updated.
After following the hookup guide, this device streams out seemingly random numbers when I put it in listen mode, even with the device in the dark. This happens no matter which firmware I use.
Copying and pasting the numbers after an attempt to record a remote command, the IR LED is outputting something, but it definitely isn't the same thing that my remote is putting out.
Help?
No matter what you do for encrypting all your traffic, you're still stuck with trusting the provider and their ISP. I personally use SSH tunnels (with autossh) as socks 5 proxies, which can be a bit more configurable and dependable on these devices, and easier than implementing SSL. Additionally, for DNS, I use DNS SEC, which tunnels your DNS requests over a secure channel to a remote provider. The challenge then becomes having a server to route the SOCKS5 connections and to act as DNS cache. Having a proxy and cache setup on your LAN with the free tier on AWS can help with all of this, and it's not likely that AWS is looking to sell information on "surfing" type traffic.
Is it safe to assume that this uses I2C or SPI for configuration and sensor output? Also, what are the other pin headers that don't have connectors pre-soldered in the image? (DEN, AG, INT2, AG, INT1, M, etc.)
I am new to programming with an FTDI BOB, what do I set 'board' to in my development environment?
Is it possible to get a schematic? I have a number of these that went bad when I bought a batch of cables from Spark Fun with several mis-wired connectors (red and black were swapped). I was thinking initially that it was the 555 timers that went bad, but now I'm not so sure.
No public wish lists :(
