Hope I haven't gotten into trouble with my board. I am running Windows 7 and following the Quick start guide. In an attempt to flash a simple "Hello" example onto my controller, though the example program builds, it fails to program the uC. I also seem to have lost the original "game" that came pre-flashed on the board.
* Initially, I thought I may have gotten past installing the FTDI drivers, but I got an occasional "Failed to install driver" message. * I pointed the hardware wizard to the driver on the disk, which "seems" to have installed the driver. * I am using a simple USB-FTDI connector to flash my Luminary - LM3S811 board. * Followed by that an attempt to build and flash the program, I get the following error:
linking... Program Size: Code=3530 RO-data=878 RW-data=8 ZI-data=256 User command #1: fromelf --bin --output .\rvmdk\hello.bin .\rvmdk\hello.axf ".\rvmdk\hello.axf" - 0 Error(s), 0 Warning(s). Connecting: Mode=JTAG, Speed=1000000Hz Full Chip Erase Done. Load "E:\\Program Files\\StellarisWare\\boards\\ek-lm3s811\\hello\\rvmdk\\hello.AXF" Connecting: Mode=JTAG, Speed=1000000Hz Erase Done. Programming Failed!
Also, I get a message box saying:
Error: Flash Download failed - "Cortex-M3"
Would appreciate any help/pointers in this regard.
Thanks, Vijay
