Re: #qmx SSB Firmware beta 1_01_005 release #qmx

 

Hi Tony

1 works, 2 works, but 3 ports results in no com ports.

Ok that will be another thing for me to investigate then, considering that 3 worked for you in 1_01_004.?

I'm keen to hear from Ludwig about Win7...

Hi Stan

1_01_006 is on the website... so let me know how it goes! By the way - all noted on remembering the last-visited sub-menu selections, leave that one with me.

Except in the current 1_01_005 I have the same problem as everyone else, the USB device is unrecognized due to 'Configuration Descriptor Request Failed'.? The fix you just made should remedy that, so maybe my machine won't have the problem with 3 ports like yours.

And yes, you will need to re-select your 'Band version' and re-calibrate and re-enter all of your configuration settings.
This has happened to me a couple of times when I press the menu button too quickly.

Sorry, Hans, I didn't realize the code was being changed as I typed.

Re: #qmx SSB Firmware beta 1_01_005 release #qmx

 

Mine doesn't work with .005. The serial port is not recognized. Win11.
Back to .003, everything's fine.


#qmx SSB Firmware beta 1_01_006 release #qmx

 

Hi all

I updated the?SSB?beta?testing webpage of the brave, here:??and released?firmware?version?1_01_006 to it.?

As discussed in the other?thread... I believe I fixed the problem with USB not working on Windows machines; I tested it on my PC with its out-of-date Win10 which I have not logged into for several YEARS. It worked on USB Serial Ports = 1 and USB Serial Ports = 2 (also with USB sound card appearing) but not on USB Serial Ports = 3. When I boot my PC into Linux as normal, all three options work perfectly. See attached.?

Feedback awaited... and again my apologies for the error in 1_01_005. Just a single character typo which apparently Linux didn't mind but Windows did? ?:-/? ?

You mnade me do it. Booted my W11 machine. Less than 1 minute to log in screen. Probably 90 seconds until I was typing this email.

Anyway now I'm trying to boot into Windows 10. I still have the old 1TB hard disk attached to my computer though it's some years now since I booted into Windows.
We will hear from you in a few days after it finishes patching...? ;-)

For reasons best known only to itself, Win 10 didn't do any patching even though it's been years since I used it. And it even seemed to boot in only about 7 minutes which is much faster than I recall. Though still woefully slower than the 10 seconds it takes the same machine to boot into Linux.?

I'm pleased to report that setting USB Serial ports to both 1 and 2 both worked, with both serial and sound. TeraTerm is apparently what's on the desktop and I could connect to both ports with no difficulty, and sound too.?

Setting USB Serial ports to 3 did not work (as we know from 1_01_004).?

So all: please standby while I prepare and upload a .QMX file with high confidence, and my apologies for not thinking of booting my computer into Win10 until now and wasting your time on it.?

Re: #qmx SSB Firmware beta 1_01_005 release #qmx

 

Hi Stan
Setting USB Serial ports to 3 did not work (as we know from 1_01_004).
But for some of us, all 3 ports were working fine in Win10 (fully patched Win10 home edition) in 1_01_004.

Then I expect that should also be the case in 1_01_005. My Win10 is very old, remember. In Linux I see the three ports and Audio no problem (and USB Flash drive, if I enable that in the firmware).?

I used USBTreeView to look at the QMX USB port with 004 and 005 installed. In case it might be of use, I attached the output as two files, one for 004 and one for 005.

Hi Ludwig

I agree, something must be amiss. But somehow Linux is making sense of it and Windows isn't! Don't worry, I'll find it!

George, QMX is already a powered hub, in effect. Cascading hubs would add more variables to a mix which already has enough variables!

Hi Matti

Could it be that in Windows the data and command endpoints must be allocated pairwise? Or Windows requires that command endpoints must exist even if not used.

No. Well yes... But with the COM ports = 1 setting it is supposed to replicate the precious situation.?

Anyway I found a 1 character typo, in the length of the USB descriptor, which could be the problem. Weird that Linux tolerates it. Anyway now I'm trying to boot into Windows 10. I still have the old 1TB hard disk attached to my computer though it's some years now since I booted into Windows. So I'll try and test it now ..

Re: #qmx SSB Firmware beta 1_01_005 release #qmx

 

Hi Tony

Well, for fun, I reinstalled 005 and ran the calibration from the front panel. Phase works better but I still have one (30 Meters) that does not complete. I went back to 004 so that I could look at the result curves. I'm not sure if you did anything with SYNC but some of those changed as well. I will have to try manually rerunning some of them.

A problem is that everyone's machine will be slightly different. When I get the next beta out and it works on Windows I'd be grateful if you could run 30m on its own, and take a screenshot both when it is running (and DAC is say, a few hundred); and when it is completed.?
