[chirp_users] can't upload to 2820

[Brian Mury]

I'm replying to a few different emails in one reply.

I just tried that with 0.2.0 and with daily-03172012. High and low speed
with both. No luck. It's not the RPM.

> Brian, what kind of serial port are you using on each?

The laptop has a built-in RS-232 port. 

The desktop has an older 4 port RS-232 PCI card that's probably in it's
third computer by now, I think. It has worked with CHIRP before, though
I'm not sure if I've used it with CHIRP in this PC, which is fairly new
- I suspect I have not.

lspci -v output:

04:00.0 Serial controller: Lava Computer mfg Inc Quattro-PCI A (prog-if
02 [16550])
        Flags: slow devsel, IRQ 18
        I/O ports at eff8 [size=8]
        I/O ports at eff0 [size=8]

04:00.1 Serial controller: Lava Computer mfg Inc Quattro-PCI B (prog-if

        I/O ports at efe0 [size=8]

This is actually one PCI card, in spite of what lspci says; it's normal
for it to show up as 2 devices with 2 ports each. It is working fine
with other applications/devices (radio control, TNCs, etc).

My motherboard has support for one RS-232 port, but has no connector. It
has a header on the motherboard, I would need a cable to provide a
connector so I could actually use it (annoyingly, the motherboard didn't
come with one). I just ordered one so I can try with the motherboard's
serial port, but don't expect to have it for a couple weeks or so.

I doubt that's the problem. I've used a couple different images, and
also tried downloading, then immediately re-uploading. And the big one:
the image that I successfully used on the laptop, with both Windows and
Linux, is the same image that isn't working on the desktop.

I'm happy to send it to you if you still want it.
