Errors while compiling for Bus Pirate v3 and mismatched messages.

[USBEprom]

I am sorry to keep annoy but while compiling for Bus Pirate v3 using the current November 07, 2017 repository still I have same problems as I wrote here:

#54 (comment)

Plus a dangerousprototypes' forum user noticed that some message into SPI protocol are wrong:

http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=8498&p=67167#p67164

In detail the thing is that by performing some commands while in SPI mode then the Bus Pirate v3 use wrong messages on the terminal:

SPI>[0x9f r r r]
/CS ENABLED
WRITE: 0x9F
READ: 0xC2
READ: 0x20
READ: 0x14
\CS ENABLED
SPI>

It is only a cosmetic issue because actually, despite the wrong message, everything works as expected, but it is really annoying
For what I know the problem started with repositories dated after the April 10, 2017 because some custom firmware I build starting from that repository and I released on the dangerousprototypes' forum do not have it:

Thanks.

@USBEprom I fixed the compilation error, but I wonder why it never triggered on my installation. Maybe from now on you may want to use a more modern version of MPLAB-X, v4.05 has been available for a week or two now.

@USBEprom the backslash issue was fixed in 47f5c59 a couple of months ago, by the way.

I'm closing this since both issues seem to have been addressed, please reopen if those issues persist, thank you.

@agatti

Thank you Sir, as usually you are the best!
Now it is possible to compile without errors but sadly still does not works because then there are not setting into menus' items as explained here:

However as you suggested me I am upgrading to MPLABX-v4.05 and xc16-v1.33 in order to exclude their fault.
Sadly my computer is running Windows XP and latest MPLABX-v4.05 does not work there.
I have to prepare a new environment.
I probably will use Linux.
I will send the result, thanks!

[USBEprom]

As promised today I was able to setup a Linux environment (Ubuntu LTS 16.04.3) where I installed MPLABX_v4.05 and xc16_v1.33 both fully working.
Using it I have built test firmwares starting from the current repository then sadly falling into the same problem described here:

#54 (comment)

The firmwares are compiled without error but the problem still arises and there are not setting into menus' items, almost them all are without options.
In the end it does not depend on obsolete MPLABX or XC16, the culprit has to be something else wrong that I have to believe is in the repository itself.

[USBEprom]

A tiny news, if it can be useful.
Actually option items are not totally gone, in fact by using the command "W" [PSU (off/ON)] them all are there.
Seems to me that the warning

Clutch disengaged!!!
To finish setup, start up the power supplies with command 'W'

is triggered bad at the wrong time so then by sending the command "W" as suggested by the spurious message not only power supplies are switching ON but the missing options are shown on the terminal.
Here it is a simple example which explain the issue:

I am going to open a new issue that match better the real behaviour of the thing, just in case.
Thanks.

Ok, I'll close this one and move onto the other report, thank you.
