To run the tools, you need to be on Windows with .NET 4.0 installed.
To set up a build environment, you need to:
- Install Visual Studio 2012 Express (for building the tools).
- Install SDCC (Small Device C Compiler) suite to
C:\Program Files\SDCC
(for building the firmware and patches).
Run DriveCom as below to obtain information about your drive:
DriveCom.exe /drive=E /action=GetInfo
where E
is the drive letter. This should tell you the type of controller you have (such as PS2251-03 (2303) -- the only type this software currently supports) and the unique ID for your flash chip.
To perform flashing operations with the tools, you will need a burner image appropriate for your drive. You will need to know the type of controller you have and the page size for your flash chip (2K, 4K, 8K). See Obtaining a Burner Image for more information.
The Patriot 8GB Supersonic Xpress drive typically uses an 8K burner image.
