pyserial setTimeout issue about goodfet HOT 13 OPEN

Which version of python-serial are you running?

from goodfet.

I met the same issue!!
Meanwhile, goodfet.bsl does't support goodthopter12 board!!!

from goodfet.

The BOARDS did not define the Goodthopter12!

I compiled the code and run the command as follows to download goodthopter12 to MCU:
goodfet.bsl -e -p goodthopter12.hex
It appeared program successfully.
After that, I run goodfet.monitor test, it will appear
AttributeError: 'Serial' object has no attribute 'setTimeout'

After comment commenting out the line "264" makes command work , but still have many issues:
it prompt:
See the GoodFET FAQ about missing info flash.
Performing monitor self-test.
Warning: waiting for serial read timed out (most likely).
ERROR, P1OUT not cleared.

Anyone can help me?

What was your board environment variable set to? Can you show the command line if you set it there? It seems like it didn't recognize it but later in the output it looks like it did get it?

from goodfet.

I set export board=goodthopter12, and it appears successfully.
Right, it didn't recognize it as goodfet.bsl does not include this board.
I specify the hex files to flash the board.

from goodfet.

It appears from the output above that it did find the hex files on the website and it grabbed them. I can't tell for sure though as I don't see the command lines entered.
However, upon looking more I think that the issue may be with your pySerial and GoodFET versions. You don't want to have to comment out the line of setTimeout, you want to work with a version of GoodFET and pySerial that make that available to you.

thanks rmsspeers!
could u let know which version of pySerial and GoodFET is correct? and how to check it?

from goodfet.

FYI: Usually the message posted above indicates that you're using a pyusb that doesn't support the timeout.
AttributeError: 'Serial' object has no attribute 'setTimeout'
Changing to self.serialport.timeout = 12 or similar should work.

from goodfet.

Was this not fixed by #25?

@rmspeers Do you have time to chase this down and apply a fix?

Cheers from Philly,

Sure -- will follow up.
@bensya - Please let me know if this is still happening for you, and your pySerial version. I'll work this out with you in a branch and then we'll merge once it's working.

from goodfet.

Thanks rmspeers, I will check later today. My pySerial version is 3.1.1. Linux version: 4.7.0-rc3; Python version: 2.7.11
