P3 config file - was utilities on Linux

[4z1tl]

Hello,

Speaking of configuration files, I wander if I's feasible to restore my P3
from someone else's file (In hope it's not serial-number dependent etc.).

I have a P3 (MCU 1.29, no SVGA option) for which all P3 utilities I tried
(current & earlier) fail  uploading firmware, and  don't enable Save \
Restore options.  
Would  the Restore option be enabled again had the P3 utility recognized a
valid configuration file in the library?

I will be glad to test with someone's file .

TIA, Isaac,
4Z1TL

Serial # is in the file. Don’t think this will work.

The P3 can restore a config saved from another P3.  

Some of our other devices (K3, KX3...) won't do cross-serial-number config
restore if there is per-unit calibration data that would require any
significant work to re-create.

The saved-from serial # is in the configuration file, but it currently is
not used to inhibit cross-P3 restore.

If the P3 Utility cannot get through the initial connection sequence from a
P3 (read its firmware version, serial #, etc), the Config Restore button
won't be enabled.  The P3 Utility can't restore a configuration if it can't
get reasonable P3-like responses from P3 installed firmware. I'm trying to
avoid restoring a P3 configuration into a K3 or KPA500 with the P3 Utility.

That's good news. I hope I will be able to restore from a P3 config file I
received.

FWIW the P3 utility establishes communication at 38400 on the correct port &
reads the f/w version OK. I can send commands to the P3, I see the changes
in behavior, I get well behaved responses. For some reason though, Save \
Restore is grayed-out & firmware upload fails as it is stuck in a "Checking
for SVGA" loop .

Thanks for the input Dick, 73

Hello all,
Just to update: my P3 still won't allow for Save \ Restore in spite having
configuration files in the proper directory.
Thanks again for the assistance here.
