Error flashing bootloader

BufferGHz — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 20:06:57 GMT

I installed CodeWarrior for ColdFire V7.1.

I am experiencing an error that says 'error: connect failed' after loading MCF52259_INTFLASH.xml and clicking program. I am using the P&E ColdFire Multilink JTAG.

Please let me know how this can be resolved.

Is it possible that CF flasher needs to be used. The original instructions call for CF flasher.

Hi,

The P&E USB-ML-CFE (USB ColdFire Multilink) has been discontinued. The recommended replacement part is the all-in-one Multilink Universal. Most software products will support the Multilink Universal transparently. I think there missing USB ColdFire Multilink driver for your PC so far. Please check here for the detailed info from P&E USB ColdFire Multilink webpage.

If possible, customer can use the CodeWarrior for MCUs IDE V11.1, which also supports MCF5225x product. The embedded [Flash Programmer] tool supports MCF5225x Flash, please check below picture for the detailed info:

Wish it helps.

I checked the latest CF Flasher software was released at 2011.

It should works with old version Windows OS, such as Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP

You could install a virtual marchine to run those old Windows system. Thanks.

While, for the Win10/Win7 OS, it is recommend to update and using latest CodeWarrior software or P&E provided standalone programmer software: PROGCFZ.

Thanks for the attention.

@Hui_Ma When attempting to update with CodeWarrior i am prompted with Error: connect failed. Does this possibly mean a driver is missing?

Please check Windows [Device Manager] if there with [USB Multilink 2.0] displayed:

If not, that means the device doesn't be recognized as expected.

Thanks for the attention.

@Hui_Ma I do have [USB Multilink 2.0] listed, thank you very much for the guidance and support. It is still saying Error: connect failed. It is possible that a setting is incorrect in the setup. Please see picture. I was thinking that the directory where Freescale is downloaded is incorrect.

First of all, Please check if P&E USB Mulitilink tool both LED are lighted (traget board was powered already). I couldn't find there with any setting issue with above attached picture.

CodeWarrior for ColdFire V7.1 is quite old, which supported PC OS is Microsoft Windows^® XP/Vista (32-bit).

I would recommend customer to install latest CodeWarrior for MCU V11.1 and create a quite simple project for MCF52259. Then customer can use embedded [Flash programmer] tool to program file to MCF52259. Please check below picture for the detailed info:

Wish it helps.
