HiJack Novice - What address to use? - 21/01/2002 11:30

Sorry for the braindead question, but I can't seem to find it through searching - when using Tony's upload util on the HiJack kernel and patches, do I specify 10000 as the memory address?

To patch your kernel, 10 000 is the only address to use to upload the kernel.

In fact Tony's Logo Editor, use a command line in a Dos window :

patch address COM Port
upload.exe zImage.file 10000 1


When using Tony's app , you dont have to specify the address

Right. Just drag the .zimage file over the editor and away it goes! Great job on that Tony!

Right, you don't need to know the address if you use my logo editor. Just drop the zimage file onto the logo editor window and it'll do it all for you.

Great job on that Tony!

Thanks, but there's one bug I haven't worked out yet.

I wanted to be able to associate ".zimage" files with logoedit.exe. So that way, double-clicking on a zimage file launched the logo editor and uploaded the file.

However, it only works about 50 percent of the time. Sometimes it will do the upload, other times it will just launch logoedit.exe without doing the upload. Don't know why.

Still, it's kind of convenient for it to "just launch" because I can double-click on the zimage file then drag it onto the logoedit window. Almost as convenient as having it do the upload.

You can always just define windows to associate it with upload and specify the commandline options as:
c:\empeg\upload.exe "%1" 10000 1
or whatever..

Could the problem have to do with spaces in the path/filename? I know if you don't put ""'s around the filename, windows/dos will split the filename over the different arguments..

c:\empeg\upload.exe "%1" 10000 1

Not a bad idea. I might just do that.

Could the problem have to do with spaces in the path/filename?

That was the first thing I checked, and as far as I can tell, that's not it.
