Release Notes

This release addresses the following issues:

  • fixes the problem introduced in v1.2.1 where UART1 (RS232-2) would not
    • send files via xmodem
    • work reliably with kermit at speeds greater than 19200 baud

Both xmodem and kermit are sending and receiving successfully at speeds from 300 to 230400 baud.

For xmodem to work successfully, you need to edit system.conf and uncomment/add the lines:

sio2_upper_case		0
sio2_strip_parity	0
sio2_drop_nulls		0

The bundle is made of two parts:

  • The FIRMWARE for the ESP32-PICO-KIT
  • The IMAGE for the microSD card

FIRMWARE

The FIRMWARE package is a ZIP file containing 4 files

bootloader.bin        21K 
imsai_part_table.bin  3.0K 
imsaisim_esp32.bin    899K 
ota_data_initial.bin  8.0K

Instructions for flashing the firmware are included in the Updating Software guide

IMAGE

The IMAGE package is a ZIP file of the complete contents of the microSD card and can simply be unzipped onto a newly formatted (FAT32) microSD card with a capacity of 128MB or greater.

Known Issues

  1. People report that the keyboard shortcut Alt-Escape intended to exit full-screen mode in the TTY:, VIO: and DZLR: devices on the Desktop UI does not work under Windows and Linux as the Chrome browser or the O/S already captures this key combination. It does however work under OSX/macOS
  2. The MAN: (manual) device on the Desktop UI is currently a proof-of-concept with only the pre-loaded manuals available. Additional functionality will added to allow adding and removing PDF files to/from the MAN: (manual) device
