PlugData compile and flash to Hothouse is Unsuccessful

[chriskid01-prog]

I have been using my Hothouse pedal for a few months now. I loaded many of the examples provided on GitHub with GitBash. I have attempted to compile the examples for PlugData and it appears they flash to the pedal, but I'm left with whatever was previously loaded on the pedal. I'm using version V0.9.2 of PlugData. The compiler settings are Hothouse as the Target board, and I have experimented with the Patch Size with the same results. What am I missing?

Hey there. Maybe give a little more context with the output of the flash operation?

Full disclosure: I am not a Pure Data / Plugdata person. The examples in the repository are the first and only patches I've ever written, and I've only personally tested them on Linux. I know for certain that other folks have done far more complicated stuff than what's in the repo with Plugdata.

Have you tried the Electrosmith Discord or the forums? There's an awesome Pd community over there, including one of the Maintainers of the HVCC (which is what is actually performing the flash operation) on to the Daisy.

Give me a day or two to get the toolchain loaded on a Windows machine and see if I can reproduce your issue.

Running PlugData on Windows 11. I copied all of the text from the Export Successful pop up, if that has helpful info. What else can I share?

This shows an error even though the GUI reads "successful". If the flash were really successful, you'd have output like:

So, we need to troubleshoot the error message: Last page at 0x90059787 is not writeable

A quick search yields some hits in the Daisy forums, but no quick solution. But I only spent about 90 seconds looking and still have not setup Plugdata on Windows ... sorry. I was able to successfully flash a Daisy seed with all of the Pd examples in the repo this morning, and they work fine in the Hothouse. I used Plugdata v0.9.2, but again, this was on Linux.

It will be a day or so before I can fire up Windows and help here. In the meantime, try the Daisy forums and look for a guy named "Dreamer"; he's the Maintainer for HVCC and knows a lot about dfu-util and the Daisy bootloader (and this is where the problem seems to be).
