LA104 add new protocol into filmware

I saw that someone is creating a new protocol for the application, understood which changes in the files need to be replaced, but I don't know how to implement it in the firmware to create a ".hex" file. I have Windows, and I would appreciate your help.

Hi, you are referring to my commit. You need to either rebuild the whole firmware and flash it as described here:

https://github.com/gabonator/LA104/tree/master/resources/tutorial_building

or you could just replace the single binary for the rftool.elf (after making a copy of the original)

After the build the binary is located in
system/apps_featured/80_rftool/build/80rftool.elf
1 ) Stop the RFtool on the LA104.
2) Just copy the 80rftool.elf to /rtfool/rftool.elf on the target USB drive when the LA104 is connected to the PC via USB and
3) Start the RFTool

By the way, later I did imlement another protocol (EV1527) but there is a limitation on how many protocols can be embedded into the program (size of the file and SRAM memory is the limitation I guess) - I had to remove other protocols unimportant to me. Maybe It would be worth to build two versions of RFtool binaries with split protocols.

Hello! Thank you very much for your response 🙂. However, I don't know how to create a new binary file 80rftool.elf using the data you provided me with. Even after you explained the process, I'm still facing difficulties. Perhaps I'm not searching for information correctly on Google or my queries are not accurate. I'm not a programmer, but I'm trying to learn gradually because it's interesting to me. Therefore, its litle dificult for me... :(

At first you need to build the OS, then library, then any application you want, just follow this tutorial and let us know which step doesn't work for you:

Did a complete recompile. Went well!
Then copied 80rftool.elf after renaming to rftool.elf to LA104, overwriting the old one.
Now I get an assertion error.
What am I doing 'wrong'?

What is the assertion?
