Hi guys,
I want to write db_eraser.stb to my DrHD D15 in the hope it will clear it out as it's not working at all apart from the spectrum analyser. I wanted to try this before getting someone to look at the electrolytic capacitors.
Connecting a USB stick directly to the STB the STB says there is insufficient space to write the 123 byte eraser file, however is happy to write original and p firmware which are much larger hence having a go with serial.
I have connected the STB to the Windows 7 PC with a serial cable, unknown if this is a null modem cable, just a US patent number printed and belkin the manufacturer. I suspect normal serial as it's male/female with a f/f gender converter to get it connected.
I'm using STB tool ver1.9.3.
The COM1 port is recognised in device manager
With STB tool ver1.9.3 I click COM1 auto detect, it asks to connect the receiver and turn on which I do but the STB is not being recognised.
Am I doing anything wrongly?
How can I get this to work is there alternative firmware uploading software?
