There are two primary types of HEX-V2 clones on the market.

Users of the VCDS HEX V2 clone often report a range of issues, including:

If your board has an Atmega162 chip paired with an FTDI chip, the "brick" usually means the FTDI chip's EEPROM configuration has been wiped, or the Atmega flash memory is locked. Tools and Software Required: : Use specific loader tools (like "Loader 9

Clones often get stuck in a "firmware update mode," indicated by flashing red lights.

Unscrew the outer casing of your HEX-V2 interface. Inspect the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) under a magnifying glass or microscope:

    You’re welcome. 😀

    @david

    The php_zip extension is present as a static extension which is why there is no php_zip.dll file. Check your phpinfo().

    Anindya, thank you!

    btw, is this a bug: enabling APC extension leads to many errors such as “Notice: Unknown: 1. h->opened_path=[null] …” in every php file, and gives warnings and notices with every include and require? The only bug report fitting the description is here: http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=17141
    Everything works fine with ‘apc.cache_by_default = 0’ though..

    Ah, memprotect was probably enabled by the “–enable-snapshot-build” flag. Will compile it again without memprotect. Thanks for letting me know. 🙂

    Thanks so much for both PHP and Apache, running both of your builds here.

    Anyone else have problems enabling the GetText extension, for me PHP stops working ?

    Hi, thanks for a great release.

    I use curl a lot. After enable the php_curl.dll extension php/apache wont start, complaining about php_curl.dll isn’t “a vaild Win32-program”

    Any idea about this?

  • Vcds Hex V2 Clone Repair

    Daniel

    sorry for my reply, should have searched more…

    here’s how to fix curl:

    1. Curl depends on ssleay32.dll and libeay32.dll they’re in the php folder.
    2. Be sure those files are accesible in a folder of the path.

    I can enable gettext extension without any problems. So not sure why you are having trouble enabling it.

    @Daniel

    You can also just add the php folder to the Path environment variable.

    Hi all, and thanx for your job.
    btw, i cannot run php5.3.4×64 with YOUR Apache 2.2.17×64:
    commenting out lines for php in httpd.conf (LoadModule… AddType… PHPIniDir) apache works… when i try to “run” it with php534 apache do not start.

    Windows Events Log says:
    Nome dell’applicazione che ha generato l’errore: httpd.exe, versione: 2.2.17.0, timestamp: 0x4cc421d6
    Nome del modulo che ha generato l’errore: php5ts.dll, versione: 5.3.4.0, timestamp: 0x4d0904d8
    Codice eccezione: 0xc0000005
    Offset errore 0x0000000000127929

    Percorso dell’applicazione che ha generato l’errore: C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\bin\httpd.exe
    Percorso del modulo che ha generato l’errore: C:\php\php5ts.dll

    this error occurs with every your php5.3×64 version…. with ver. 5.2.6×64 it works well..
    (“C:\php” is in system path variable correctly)
    Any idea to solve this? Thank you in advance..

      What extensions have you enabled in your php.ini file? Please post both your httpd.conf file and your php.ini file if possible. Also, you have not mentioned the version of Windows that you are using.

    Hi!

    @Francesco
    Maybe Apache is using the old php5ts.dll somehow! Possibly there is another version of the file in a “higher” place reguarding the order of your %PATH%-variable (Maybe in your Windows/system32-folder)

    @Anindya
    PHP 5.3.5 and OpenSSL 1.0.0c (Apache) are available

    I don’t think it’s possible to compile 64 bit PHP binaries with VC6 since it does not have 64 bit compiler. Why do you want VC6 binaries anyway? Even in the case of 32 bit PHP, the VC9 binaries provide better performance compared to VC6 ones.

    @ADT

    Thanks for letting me know. I will try and compile PHP 5.3.5 on this weekend. And I will include the latest version of OpenSSL with the next release of Apache.

    Thanks for these. I was looking for APC that worked with WAMP 2.1e 64bit on Windows 7 and these worked perfectly.

    Just a suggestion, can you update your original post with the updated php_apc.dll without memprotect as I’m sure a lot of people won’t go looking through the comments to find the version that works nicely.

    my machine: windows 7×64…

    I got it….
    I worked hard to find the process wich was listening on port:80 and caused installation troubles…(SQL reporting service..!!!)
    just uninstall that…and now my “orchestra” is playing good..!
    bye… and thx to all… 😉

    Hi there.

    Is it possible for you to give me an ETA of when the 5.3.5 64 bit binary will be finished?

    Regards

    I was thinking about compiling it last weekend but didn’t get time. Will try to compile tomorrow or definitely this weekend.

    Do you plan to publish a fresh version of php x64 and apache x64 today?
    If not, I will be very appreciated, if you specify the ETA 🙂 Thank you very much!

    • Vcds Hex V2 Clone Repair

      Anindya Author

      Yes, new version of PHP but not Apache. There hasn’t been any new version of Apache since 2.2.17. Will post 2.2.18 when it’s released.

      I already compiled PHP 5.3.5 yesterday and will post it today after some testing.

    Hello, thank you for posting. I wonder if you can help me, I’ve been trying to install apc on wamp 2.2 on a windows 7 x64 to no avail. I see you have a lot of apc dlls on your downloads on mediafire, I can’t imagine why. Must all of them be installed, (obviously not), then which of them? I downloaded php_apc without memprotect and was able to select it in the task switcher on wamp, I also added the extension and the following:

    [APC]
    apc.enabled = 1
    apc.shm_segments = 1
    apc.shm_size = 64M
    apc.max_file_size = 10M
    apc.stat = 1

    to php.ini, next, downloaded apc.php from http://svn.php.net, but my phpinfo() file doesn’t show apc no matter what I do, and apc.php says it isn’t running.
