Debugger froze while loading my program and now will not communicate with my DEMO09s08LC60

[Pyretta]

While loading a program, the debugger froze at 100% loading of the program. After the debugger crashed, the board will no longer connect to the compiler when trying to load other simple programs that loaded before. When the debugger is run, the following is displayed to us.

 

Title box that says Hi-Wave

"Lost communication with the target device. Possible cause:

1. target board is not powered.

2. Oscillator frequency is out of range.

3. The device has been reset"

 

After hitting ok

"There is currently no communication with the hardware. Please try to connect before loading an executable file."

 

After hitting ok

Command windows says

   Everything worked fine for months now and even older programs that worked fine, no longer work. The PC recognizes that the board is connected.  Any thoughts? Is my board now hosed?

[Pyretta]

I do not know how to unsecure the board. Is there a document that explains how to do this? This demoboard is a Softec.

[Lundin]

Did you try to unsecure the processor? It sounds like it could be the cause. If that doesn't help, then I'd say you have some sort of hardware problem.
