This means that the device + * probed for a DS1992, but couldn't find anything on the bus. If you hold you + * DS1992 against the pins, the flashing will turn green instead. This means that + * the token has been read into the device's RAM. + * You can now use `pc/a.out read` to read the contents. + * (If both green and red leds flash, this means you've a short circuit.) + * + * If you execute `pc/a.out write <page> <data>`, then the device will enter + * writing mode. The flashing red LED has the same meaning as before. If you now + * connect the token, the page <page> (1-indexed) will be written to with <data>, + * whenever the LED flashes green the next time. + * After that, the device enters reading mode again. If the LED blinks really slow, + * then there was a write error. re-execute a.out write, reconnect the token and retry. + * Additionally, after writing you can use `a.out read` again (without connecting the + * token for reading previously). This will output you a lot of garbage, but the first + * byte read tells you a more detailed error code: + * 0x01: "reset/presence pulse" failed after scratchpad write + * 0x02: scratchpad did not verify correctly + * 0x03: "reset/presence pulse" failed after scratchpad readback + verify + * 0xFF: probably successful + * + * Note that you should read back the data after writing, just to be sure. + * Also note that while you can read the whole memory at once, you must execute the write + * command, and also connect the token, four times for a full write (once for each page). + + +WARNING: This tool does not adhere to the 1-wire-specification and may damage your devices. + see 1wire.{c,h} for details. + +Author: Florian Jung (flo@windfisch.org) +Copyright: (c) 2015,2016 by Florian Jung.
