Hi again, so it seems that the slowness was caused by virtualization after all. My previous VM was an Ubuntu 13.10 running inside an older version of VMware Fusion, which resulted in the ~0.5KiB/s speed. After installing an Ubuntu 14.10 that went up to ~1.5KiB/s and running OpenOCD directly on the host gets me close to 2KiB/s when flashing.
On OS X 10.9: wrote 32768 bytes from file hello-world.hex in 16.164614s (1.980 KiB/s) verified 16892 bytes in 1.463347s (11.273 KiB/s) On Ubuntu 14.10: wrote 32768 bytes from file /home/lucas/RIOT/examples/hello-world/bin/samr21-xpro/hello-world.hex in 22.042933s (1.452 KiB/s) verified 16892 bytes in 1.505869s (10.955 KiB/s) Cheers, Lucas On 13 Jan 2015, at 11:18, Martin <martin.landsm...@haw-hamburg.de> wrote: > Hi, > > my flashing speed is roughly equal to Thomas' for the Samr21-xpro: > > ``` > wrote 65536 bytes from file RIOT/tests/pnet/bin/samr21-xpro/pnet.hex in > 32.083557s (1.995 KiB/s) > verified 49688 bytes in 4.114729s (11.793 KiB/s) > ``` > > My openocd version: > `Open On-Chip Debugger 0.9.0-dev-00186-g30203b3 (2014-11-12-11:49)` > > Best regards, > Martin > On 12.01.2015 21:07, Baptiste Clenet wrote: >> Flashing is slow for us too, how do you get the speed? >> >> 2015-01-12 11:13 GMT+01:00 Lucas Jenß <li...@x3ro.de>: >> Hi Thomas, >> >> verification was much faster as 0.4KiB/s, I think around 10 or so for me. >> I checked out OpenOCD on the 9th.
