How to deal with the problem '56800E GDI Protocol: Can't load gdi dll' when debugging? My software version is CodeWarrier for Microcontrollers V8.3

[chenxudong]

My program runs successfully in another computer. The version is same. But I have failed many times with my own computer. I'm not sure if i missed something when setup the software.

Are you using the same hardware board on another computer? Would you please help me to check:

1) The connection setting in CodeWarrior

Please open Target Settings by ‘ALT’+’F7’ key, then go to Debugger->Remote Debugging panel. If you would like to use OSBDM for debugging, please choose <56800E Local FSL OSBDM Connection>. Then click on “Edit Connection” button. On the pop-up window, please check whether you have set the GDL DLL correctly. The default location of OSBDM GDI dll is: {Compiler}bin\Plugins\Support\OSBDM\osbdm-jm60_gdi_dsc.dll.

2)The OSBDM driver

Please power on your board and connect it with PC, open Device manager, can you see this device?

Thank you for your help. I only have one MC56F8257 board in my lab.

I have checked the first one, The  location of OSBDM GDI dll is {Compiler}bin\Plugins\Support\OSBDM\osbdm-jm60_gdi_dsc.dll.

I will follow your second suggestion and see the result later, maybe 3 days later. Would you please help me then?

I can see a new usb device in device maneger. But I think the driver is not correctly installed. Where can I find the device driver? I have installed 'codewarrier', 'freemaster' and  'GM60 GUI' from the disc.

When J20 jumper is installed, its OSBDM function is enabled, and it works as OSBDM. When J20 is removed, its USB Serial Bridge function is enabled. So please install J20 jumper. And the driver should be installed automatically,  the driver is also included in CodeWarrior v8.3, usually is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Freescale\CodeWarrior for DSC56800E v8.3\drivers\osbdm\OSBDM-JM60.inf

I attached a screenshot which shows OSBDM is installed  successfully.

Now I think the device driver is ok. But i still have the problem 'gdi protocol'. And the massege have changed from 'cant load gdi dll' to 'cant connect'. I want to show you my screenshot.

PS: I run this software in VMware virtual machine with WIN XP(because my computer system is win8 64bit). And the pictures below shows condition of the virtual machine(WIN XP).

    driver and connection is OK, right?
