Crazyradio firmware with USB3.0 fix

In my last post, Arnaud (one of the Bitcraze guys) replied, informing me that they have fixed an issue with the Crazyradio on USB3.0 hosts!

I cloned the Crazyradio repository with 'hg clone', then fired up an Ubuntu 12.10 VM and installed the 'Small Device C Compiler':


sudo apt-get install sdcc

Performing a 'make' in crazyradio-firmware/firmware resulted in a binary: bin/cradio.bin .

I could have burned this image via SPI, but I have another Linux machine handy (a neat little Olimex OLinuXino with Python already installed), so I cloned the repository on that machine as well, copied over cradio.bin, and followed the instructions on the Crazyradio Wiki.

This flashed the latest Crazyradio code onto my device - and testing out on my MacBook Pro, it did indeed solve the "IOUSBFamily was not able to enumerate a device" issue!

  1. Any chance of getting that file from you? the cradio.bin?
    I'm at a bit of a loss for the compiling :/
