Downloading from D21G

Hi all,

We just had a serious file corruption due to a faulty HDD on our drives, and I would like to download some code that was uploaded to some D21Gs (with some interresting features like ModbusIP Client an server modules) that got lost in the turmoil.

Is there a downloading / decompiling procedure for that ?

Didier, DG2R

I am pretty sure that can be achieved via the bossac command-line tool (even the one that comes with the industruino package for e.g. the Arduino IDE, used to upload the compiled binaries) using the "read" option. 

From the official bossac doc:

bossac -r0x10000 image.bin # Read 64KB from flash and store in image.bin

(Please note that example is taken directly from the bossac docs the starting offset address for the Industruino's ICs is different, iirc 0x4000 or 0x8000 and that you'll be, of course, only to receive the binary from the ICs memory.)

Thank you andreas, This helps to save the content of a controller in a compiled form, so you can clone it in another controller. It may save the day in some cases, but I was looking for a way to get back to the code or at least part of it. In the end I rewrote the Modbus programs in our apps, in a much cleaner way, so the consquences are not so bad, after all. Thanks anyway Didier, DG2R
