About MT25C Term

MT25C Term

MT25C Term is the developer terminal for the MT25C. It finds the tester on USB, lets you send every command of the protocol — ping, configuration, keypad insertion and removal detection, static scan, mechanical and capacitive key scans, buzzer — and shows the decoded answers in a table and on a DB25 pin view, next to a live event stream and the raw frames on the wire. It is the tool to get familiar with the device or to integrate it into your own software (see the command reference). Windows, macOS and Linux; updates are offered from within the application.

Updating the tester's firmware

MT25C Term ships with the latest tester firmware and can flash it over the USB cable — no programmer or extra software. When you connect a tester running older firmware, the application tells you an update is available; choose Help ▸ Update device firmware… and it rewrites the firmware in a few seconds, then reconnects automatically. If the update is interrupted (for example the cable is unplugged), the tester simply waits in update mode and can be flashed again.

Older testers

Testers produced before firmware V1.2.0 do not support updating over USB. MT25C Term detects them and shows a notice — please contact Ikalogic for a free update.

Release Notes

0.1.4 (18/09/2026)

  • feature: One-click firmware updates over USB. Help â–¸ Update device firmware… compares the tester's firmware to the version shipped with the app and, when the device supports it (firmware V1.2.0 or later), rewrites it over the existing cable — no debugger or extra tools
  • feature: Testers too old to update over USB (firmware before V1.2.0) are detected on connect; the app explains the device must be returned to Ikalogic for a free update
  • fix: The port list showed two "MT25C" entries for one tester; the second one was the firmware's debug console and could not connect. Only the protocol port is listed now
  • fix: When the system refuses access to the serial port (Linux users not in the dialout group), the application now says so instead of reporting "no MT25C device found", and offers to install the udev rule for you (administrator password prompt); no replug needed afterwards
  • improvement: The .deb package installs the MT25C udev rule, so access works out of the box

0.1.3 (14/09/2026)

  • improvement: On Linux, the AppImage now registers itself with the desktop on first launch, so the application shows its own icon in the dock/taskbar and appears in the app launcher

0.1.2 (13/09/2026)

  • fix: File → Quit did nothing (the window was not allowed to close itself); the title-bar close button was unaffected

0.1.1 (13/09/2026)

  • fix: Installed application opened as an unstyled, unresponsive window (the security policy of release builds blocked the user interface); please reinstall this version
  • fix: In-app update check could not read the update manifest

0.1.0 (13/09/2026)

  • feature: First release of the new cross-platform terminal (Windows, macOS, Linux), replacing the Windows-only MT25C-Term
  • feature: Auto-detects the tester on USB and sends every protocol command (ping, configuration, insertion/removal detection, static scan, mechanical and capacitive key scans, buzzer, idle)
  • feature: Decoded results table and DB25 pin view, live event stream, TX/RX frame log with export
  • feature: Light and dark themes
