Bonjour,

Je souhaite remplacer l’affichage du numéro de série « OSTC 1234 » sur le mode surface par « OSTC 6RiL » de mon OSTC 2N V2.50. Quelqu’un saurait il m’expliquer où dans les fichiers sources je dois faire une/des modifications ?

Hello,

I wish to replace in surface mode the serial number « OSTC 1234 » by « OSTC 6RiL » on my OSTC 2N V2.50. Someone could explain me how to do that in the sources files ?

Best Regards,

Hi,

Look at line 1076 and following in \code_part1\OSTC_code_asm_part1\output.asm

- or enter your stuff where it belongs to (The custom text)

Hello,

No "output.asm" file in sourcecode250 ?!?!?!
I find "pled_output.asm" with something in L1033 like
OUTPUTTEXTH d'262'
I understand it refers to french_text.asm L402
TCODE .1, .1, "OSTC " ;262 OSTC

I am not expert in ASM code. If I replace L402 by
TCODE .1, .1, "OSTC 6RiL" ;262 OSTC
is it correct ?
Need I comment with ; L1035 to L1040 in pled_output.asm ?

Ok, i found the file in 270 sources
I will try somethings

One question: Why will you change the serial number? Is it a stolen OSTC? (:P)

[6RiL]

It's just a first step to try to do a custom OSTC

[6RiL]

oups, OSTC is locked on " Bootloader Please wait!" :S
Don't know if the cause is my custom program or not.
After download, OSTC didn't reboot.

Tiny BootLoader says
"Searching for PIC ..., Not found
ERROR!
Not found!"

Need help... How to "reset / restart" OSTC 2N ?
Prefer advise before use magnetic reset.

[heinrichsweikamp]

Look here: read.php?2,4071

Use the bootloader v1 section. Instead of choosing to reboot the unit with the menu option, toggle the reset with a magnet on the backside of the unit.

Reinstall our official firmware, of course.

Sorry but this makes me a bit laugh.
Personalizing the comp by changing the serial number?? The good thing for Serial numbers are that they are usually unique. One number just for only You!
How wonderful and personalized !

cheers )

Hello,

Magnet reboot do not works on my unit.
I tried with 2 different magnets, for same result
When I apply magnet, OSTC don't change screen plot.

Always Searching for PIC ...Not found when write Flash

what's Wrong ?
Can i try something else ?

Thanks.

Please post the bootloader log window output.

I'd say you're not resetting the unit (In reset state (Bootloader waiting for a new firmware), the screen goes black. Try a stronger magnet.

Hello,

I have tried 5 or 6 differents magnets.
But screen do not goes black, always the red Bootloader

Some one suggested a loud speaker magnet. Is it necesseray to do with so strong magnet ?

Where on the back of OSTC is the magnetic recept ?

Thanks.

It's definitely not resetting. Do you have USB attached and powered? This kind of reset ONLY works when there is a USB cable attached.

Thanks a lot !

Near the end, I finished by try all magnets i found without USB connect.
Only the biggest magnet can reboot the ostc. I used a big stamp eraser for withboards. Others do not worked.

My program was not faulty... This one achieved well my (first) customisation.
But, before continuing modifications, i need to learn more about PIC and ASM !
