Problem to save my K3 configuration

[Thomas Norff]

Has anyone seen this error?

Using the "K3 Firmware Update Downloader (Version 1.0.11.21)" i get always
the same problem with the function "save K3 configuration as" under the tab
"configuration".
The saving proccess stops unpredictable.

In a small portsniffer output i can see that the response from the K3 is
alright referring to the format.
But some characters are wrong, which seems to be the reason why the software
stops the process.
Inside the stored file you can find "*error reading EEPROM at ...".

My K3 has the current MCU and DSP software installed and i've checked it
with all available baud-rates.
Based on the fact that my previous firmware upgrades were successful i would
assume it is not a problem with the interface.

Any comments ?

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply and especially for the config file.

My computer configuration looks quite similar to yours.

I was able to write your configuration into my K3 !!!
Only two (or three...) warnings about an illegal value... maybe my K3 has
not the same modules...

After that i tried to backup the configuration which failed again.

I don't have any idea what my problem is.
Maybe i should check it with a different computer (with a RS232 interface)
to be shure it's not a problem with my K3.

Thomas, DM7TN

Hi Thomas,

I'm using the same rev of the Downloader and just saved my K3's config
without incident.  I've attached a copy of that file in case it might useful
to you.

The only way I might be able to help you is to tell you the serial port
setup here, o/s, etc.  You're right - it doesn't sound like an interface
problem.  However it might be your hw platform, o/s, or even a device
driver.

K3:  s/n 24;  MCU 1.41, DSP 1.39
COM Port: 4, 4800 BPS
COM port is running via USBSER.SYS on a Keyspan USA-19HS USB-to-serial
adapter.
Computer:  HP DV2000T laptop, Centrino Duo T2400, 1.83 GHz
o/s:  Microsoft XP-Pro, SP2

If I were you, I'd reboot the computer and not load any applications, then
retry the config save.
