Just completed! ID TECH announces the next major update to ViVOConfig.

Major Updates:

• Now uses SDK 2.1.x.x, which is a multi-device SDK. This app can now connect to any number of devices, any interfaces, and at the same time. In the screenshot, there is an Augusta and two VP3300 attached
  • Device Connection Options....
    • USB connections are automatic
    • Selecting a COM device will automatically connect to default baud on the only existing COM port
      • if there are multiple COM ports, you will wil be asked which one to use
      • If you want to use another baud, be sure to change that before you attempt to connect (another option in that menu
    • You can connect to IP using standard or TLS connections
  • You can disconnect from any device. If you disconnect from USB, you either need to plug/unplug to get it to auto-recognize, or you can select Scan USB Bus instead
• ViVOConfig now contains the complete command tree from our USDK demo
• Within ViVOConfig, you can now do things like RKI updates, firmware updates, setting command, verifying a transaction, etc., without the need to switch our USDK demos
• "Memo" field -> allows custom command execution
  • There is a Memo field that can now be included in the JSON files.
  • The memo field can simply be used to add information about the files.
  • The Memo field can be used by the ViVOConfig to determine if any custom code needs to be executed.
    • When writing files to the device, ViVOConfig will look at the memo first to understand if anything special needs to happen.
    • Currently, there is just one string recognized for custom command execution. As we find cases in the future, we can define other strings to do special things.
    • Current Custom Command recognized strings from memo field:
    • "SET-DFED22": If this is found in the memo, the utility will change DFED22 to be <serial number>-<emv kernel version> for that particular device being configured

Minor enhancements and fixes:

• Added file name checking for valid value when loading ViVOconfig files. (the previous version crashed on this case)
• Updated 03-05 to keep last AID listing in memory if called on next command {previous version sending too many unnecessary aid commands during the reading process)
• Removed FFE4 when saving ctls data group 0 in VivoConfig (the previous version failed when writing group 0)
• Fixed get CTLS group parsing in VivoConfig (the previous version had issue parsing CTLS groups)
• Added Augusta Beeper control to VivConfig  (the previous version only recorded beeper setting on VP3300, not Augusta)
• Added retryCount to IDTComm class to set command retries on timeout condition (overcomes timeout issues when writing)
• Added min timeout to IDTComm class to override command timeout. (overcomes timeout issues when writing)
• Added reporting both fw and sn on device connection
