pdutil2

This is a drop-in replacement for the 'pdutil' tool included in the Windows version of the Playdate SDK, (based on the 3.0 version)

Features

  • Same basic functionality as the stock pdutil (on Windows)
  • install command now only copies new or changed files, for faster updating. Also can copy a zipped pdx
  • clean command does a clean install (removing existing pdx files before copying)
  • cmd command allows you to run a serial USB command directly from the shell (without having to set up serial comms, etc)
  • shell launches you directly into a serial USB shell
  • screen saves a screenshot locally to the filename provided

Installation

Copy the pdutil2.exe into your %PLAYDATE_SDK_PATH%\bin\ folder, then change any scripts to call pdutil2 instead of pdutil

Platform support

Currently pdutil2 is Windows only, due to use of Windows specific APIs to access serial ports and drive mountings. This may be possible to change, if anyone wants to do a PR!
