FC and all,
Well, I have a second hard drive for the work notebook (Dell). I installed CW 5.0, SP and patch there, ran the demo board and it worked perfectly. Went back to the home machine (a cobbled together set of parts, Athlon based), uninstalled everything, reinstalled everything (CW5, SP, patch), ran the demo build and the debugger locked up tight (had to kill hiwave).
It's not the preloaded program. Once on the Dell, I was able to flash the demo board from the preloaded demo program (DEMO9S08QG8_test) to the other application (DEMO9S08QG8_APP) and run it. Guess I'll be doing my development on the Dell....
Both systems are WinXP Pro, SP2 + latest updates. The Dell is a Pentium 4m, the home system an Athlon. Both are USB1.1, not 2.0. USB was direct to the port on the Dell notebook, and via a powered (wall wart) USB hub on the home machine. The home system also has McAfee suite installed. My personal drive on the Dell just has windows firewall.
I can provide more hardware details if necessary, but apparently some difference between these two systems makes for the debugger working or not.
I have a USB 2.0 board I've been meaning to put into the home machine. Maybe now is the time. Hate to unplug and replug the rats' nest of cables, but I guess I'll have to!
FC, try the demo on another PC if you can. And I'll be watching for P&E patches too.
