USB IR Toy Firmware 23 Test1 Description

Use a remote control with your computer, view infrared signals on a logic analyzer, capture and replay remote control buttons.

Fixes:

- It includes an almost complete rewrite of all code by JTR. It uses an improved USB stack version, major improvements to sampling mode, SUMP logic analyzer mode, and more.

There is one known error:
*In sample mode using the transmit command WITHOUT handshake will lose the first packet. I believe WinLIRC, REC&PLAY, and everybody else all use the handshake now though.

NOTE:

- Enter update mode: Short the PGC and PGD pins and plug in the IR Toy.
- For a simple firmware update run update-USBIRToy.vXX.bat
- update-USBIRToy.vXX.bat - install latest IR Toy firmware
- update-USBIRtoy-TVBGone.bat - install the TV B Gone firmware, plays TV POWER codes
- USBIRToy.vXX-HaD.hex - firmware to program in the IR remote control receiver Ian posted at Hack a Day several years ago
- USBIRToy-BLxFWyy-DUMP.hex - factory programming image with bootloader version x and firmware version yy, program with a PIC programmer.
- bootloader.hex - bootloader to program into a new PIC chip, program with a PIC programmer. The factory programming image is a better option

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release. 

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
