How to tell which firmware is required when writing applications

g4guo · 13 November 2018 08:14

I know how to request hardware firmware versions via LimeSuite but how do I know which version of firmware is required for a particular release of LimeSuite? I would like to do the check in my code and then alert the user they need to update / downgrade their firmware to run with my application.

(context) I am starting to get people complain of bugs in my code that turn out to be due to old firmware.

{
    if (info.device == iter.dev && info.hardware == iter.hw_rev)
    {
        return iter;
    }
}


return imageEntries.front(); //the -1 unknown entry
}


void LMS64CProtocol::VersionCheck(void)
{
const auto info = this->GetInfo();
const auto &entry = lookupImageEntry(info);


//an entry match was not found
if (entry.dev == LMS_DEV_UNKNOWN)
{
    return;
}

What I really wanted was some way of accessing this through the LimeSuiteAPI. I don’t think I can access that information via the LimeSuite.dll at the moment. I will check and see how I can get access to that in a Windows environment.

OK I have added my own custom log message handler and intercept those messages now.
