Flir E40 Upgrade & Configuration

[Chanc3]

there are very few applications, where you need high frame rates with a wide-angle lens 

I own an E40 from 2012 and the frame rate is fine.
On video  you have lags from the NUC (shutter) and some ugly overlays (scale, logo).

But a really great feature are RAW-videos with Flir Tools.
see my post here:

You can turn off the logo via telnet I believe!

yes, I know

I'll try and pull the E60 2012 files when it is back from cal.

Do i need the CRC01 or CRC03 ? for my E40

Does it say CRC01 after your serial number?

I highly doubt it is CRC03

[tomas123]

you need CRC01 if your configuration files are not encrypted (plain text)

but you need CRC03:

Thanks Chance3 and tomas123 

Its a CRC01 as you can see in my conf.cfg file on the previous page.
I copied and paste it directly in to windows Notepad, without any decryption 

So that's interesting, there is also different version in 645xxx i mean CRC01 or CRC03, but i guess its because of the Firmware 3.18.0
Anyone knows the difference between 3.18.0 vs 4.10.0, major upgrade ?, what do you advice upgrade or leave it as it is.

This is where i am stuck , i can only find tools.zip with CRC03 inside

Okay,

Just to resume, can one of you confirm i am on the right track

- First i made a backup of config.cfg from the camera
- Downloaded my conf.cfg file from the E40 to pc
- Copied it to same map as where i unzipped the e4hack3c.zip files
- I have edit my conf.cfg file, i changed 645xxxx to the original serial number (leaving the old CRC01 number untouched)
- Changed my resolution settings: .caps.config.image.settings.resIR int32 320 and .caps.config.image.targetNoise.targetNoiseMk int32 0
- Take care you have one free line on the end of the text file (CRLF is not \r\n\command ?)
- Save file
- Run the E8.cfg and on the prompt you receive a new CRC01 number (or do i need to copy paste my file text in to the E8.cfg ?)
- Remove the old CRC number in your file, and replace this with the new generated CRC01

Do i need to zip the config.cfg file and change it to .fif extension? to run back in too the E40 ?

As a few things are different to a E4 in terms explanation, i get a bit unsure , and don't like to end up with a brick as result

I am not very familiar with computers these days, and CD / \ stuff was a long.... time ago.   so bare with me guys.

Just upload the new cfg file and replace on camera (you have a backup). Should either work or not.

Sorry for my ignorance
But it does not make any sense to me, to call the file E8.cfg in my case..

Quote:
Save the file as flashfs\system\appcore.d\config.d\e8.cfg

Create a zip file containing the flashfs folder tree and camera.cmd
Rename the file from .zip to .fif


Install FLIR tools
Go to the install folder\bin
Turn camera on and plug USB in
Run FLIRInstallNet
Browse to your .fif file

Click Run FIF

Unplug USB, remove battery and replace

Enjoy!

do you read this post ?

Don't copy files from forum. Edit your cfg file!

[reallybigone916]

Here is a good small program I use to compare the hacked .cfg files (or text files) with the original .cfg files.

Enjoy!

I bricked my E50bx HELP!!!!!!!

I made a backup of the entire FlashFS and subsequent files and subdirectories and then attempted the hack, but now I just have a black screen with limited menu options.
I tried to restore FlashFS/system/ with filezilla but no luck!

At this point I just want to restore to original, then I may reattempt the hack.
This is 490XXXXXX unit.

Any help would be appreciated!

[reallybigone916]

are you able to access your unit via FTP?
limited menu options? what can you do or see?

Hello everyone!

I bought old Flir E30_bx yesterday, I have small expirience with E4 (hacked 2 times with old and new firmware but with big help from janekivi)

my camera have parameters:
serial:492xxxxx
catalogue:49001-1901
firmware:2.23.14
model:E30bx_B1.1
without MSX
I have laser, LED uncovered and I can use it right now without makings wholes where the Flash light and Camera are located.

1.
Can I upgrade my E30 like from lgustavocampos post: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/msg561266/#msg561266
? or my camera is different because of serial 492 not 490 like other?

2.
What I can get from upgrading? I sure 320x240 but what else?
MSX? Wi-Fi? Blue-Tooth? new pallets?

Yes, I read all post from this topic but for my English I am never shore if I misunderstand or not, so I write this post to be shore;)

I attached oryginal conf and this what I made by my self (by tutorial from lgustavocampos post, with crc, SerialNumber and .cfg format;), but when I put them into my camera I have only 320x240 but I lose a lot of tools.

3.
I wonder only to make upgrade resolution 320x240 and have wi-fi or BlueTooth to make movies without USB connection.

Enybody know solution for this?

All best to you;)

[jumbo]

Last question, when I'm running comand  - crc01.exe "conf.cfg"
in my conf.cfg file should I have Serial number, CRC number and empty line? or only Serial number and empty line?

I made mistake, I forgot/didnt know to delete # CRC01 line before run CMD command - CRC01.exe "conf.cfg".

I hack camera, how much for noise mK i should have? I had originality 90 now I have 5.
How I can set up WiFi? I should install some programs on my PC or what? to connect with camera?

Thanks EEVBLOG users again for useful information on forum;)

# ID 490I put my serial number in here.

I did not change crc01 number at all and there is a space after the crc line.
I replaced the original file in the camera and..........nothing changed! can someone help. Thanks.
PS. I am trying to make this thread as long as the e4 thread.

[Chanc3]

You must change the CRC number!

If you send me your conf.cfg file I will adjust it for you

[tomas123]

Nice service

[simclardy1]

Chanc3 and tomas123.....you guys are the best. I am finished! I did it. chanc3 you are right. I had to find the crc01 file. I found it on Mikes original post (thanks mike). So then I managed to get the resolution but no menus.....so I changed the ui.d config. still nothing. I discovered that you can't just change the name of the camera at the top of the script. I imagine if you changed it in every file it would be ok. once I did that my menus started working except fusion and pip. SO I have to credit tomas123. In one of his post he said "don't copy and paste but edit" something like that. (did not copy and paste and I am glad for it) sure enough my framegrab entries are a bit different than mikes file. Mine have a framegrab.visual entry.
wow. I feel like I learned a lot about computers. it is a nice feeling.

[tomas123]

You're welcome!

Please tell us, which Exx hardware version (generation) do you updated.
