Can you get any amount of an image if you try to download with CHIRP? If so, please attach it here. Also, please attach a debug log of the attempt (regardless of if successful).

FYI, tomorrow's daily build will check for the firmware version and fail if it's >=291 just to limit any confusion and potential damage until we know further.

Hello Dan,

The new firmware model will not communicate with the legacy Baofeng software or the last CHIRP daily bill. Baofeng has a new version of their software that will only read and write the new BFB291 firmware version. I'm uploading you a copy of it's dat file.

Thanks.

Looks like you might've closed and reopened chirp after doing the download as the debug log is almost empty. Is that right? If so, could you re-snag it?

Okay, thanks. test5 posted. I just hacked out the settings bit, which is where it was choking. Hopefully this will get you to a memory editor after the download (with probably garbage-looking data), at least enough to save out the .img.

Okay, great! Better than I expected. Are you willing to try an upload at this point? I think the risk is quite low that anything will be problematic or irreversible, but there's always a risk. If so, that's the next thing I'd like to try, but will require me to spin another one.

Updated by Dan Smith about 12 years ago

Okay, excellent. I sounds like you've done multiple downloads and uploads at this point, modified the image, etc without any trouble, is that right? If so, I think it might be good to go ahead and push what we have into the daily builds to see how it works for the masses.

What do you think?

I have rolled it around pretty good and it seems like it is good for a run in the daily build I think it will do ok there are getting to be several BFB291 Radios out there so give it a try

Hi folks,

I will attach here as I might be of help here.
I installed the latest daily build and got the same what Danny had before. Radio reports unknown vendor.

win7
prolific 3.2.0.0

purchased UV-5RE model with BFB291 from 409shop. Using generic usb cable and driver I attempted to download from the radio and got the following errors:

daily 10/3
"Radio did not respond"

daily 10/5
after 4 seconds a quick red led blink and screen goes to purple
"Radio reported unknown vendor"
so it appears there is some communication?

has anyone gotten a UV-5RE to work with Chirp?

thanks,

It appears that there is another variant that uses 6t instead of DH as part of the vendor string.

Updated by John Buck about 12 years ago

Just to back up what Morgan and Shawn reported.

My Baofeng UV-5R received from 409shop.com isn't recognized by the daily build of CHIRP. I had the exact same experience as Morgan R.

I pulled this from the debug log:

Vendor is '6t\x04', expected ('DH\x04', '\x00\x04y')
Radio reported unknown vendor

Upload/Download works great with both radios with no problem.
.
However, the saved .img file from the BFB231 unit will not upload to the BFB291 unit.
The image files are not transferable betreen the two.

Good result! ... log attached

Using a UV-5R (reports BFB291). Attached is the debug log running, chirp-daily-20121013.

Upload/download seems to work. Made some changes on channel listing, and seen the change work on the actual radio,

I've not done anything more ambitious than this, as I'm new to this radio. However, looking forward to doing things like extending the frequency range, as I'd like to Rx on airband.

Thanks for the good work.

As of r1758, settings support should be restored for the newer firmware. I'm going to close this as done and we can open new bugs for additional issues as appropriate.
