The makeUpdateDisc tool creates Revolution master data (rvm) for the RVT-R Reader from GCM files.
Version 2006/08/21 or later of the NDEV software must be installed before running makeUpdateDisc. In addition, the Cygwin OpenSSL package must be installed.
Note: OpenSSL version 0.9.8b-1, for which operation has been confirmed, is not currently distributed as a Cygwin package. Download OpenSSL version 0.9.8b-1 from Wario World.
% makeUpdateDisc <inputFile> [<outputFile>]
Start Cygwin, using RVL_NDEV.bat.
With the GCM file to convert into an RVM file specified as an argument, run makeUpdateDisc.bat or makeUpdateDisc from a bash shell.
Example: Creating a disc image to update firmware
% makeUpdateDisc $REVOLUTION_SDK_ROOT/RVL/bin/tools/swupdate_SDK-3_2.gcm
Since the batch version does not recognize the Cygwin drive notation (such as /cygdrive/c/), use the DOS format (C:) for the drive when specifying files by their full path.
The output file will be named with its extension changed to .rvm (in the example above, the output file will be named swupdate_SDK-3_2.rvm), but you can also specify the name of the output file as the second argument.
Use rvtwriter.exe, included in the Revolution Writing Software package, to write the generated RVM file to an RVT-R disc.
