Unable to connect to TWR-MCF52259

[awm]

Hello,

I have a TWR-MCF52259-KIT which I am unsuccessfully trying to program for the first time.  My current configuration has a TWR-SER in the bottom slot, a TWR-MEM in the slot second from the top, and the TWR-MCF52259 in the top position.  When the tower is connected to my computer via the PWR/OSBDM USB port it powers up correctly as far as I can tell (the LEDs light up, LED4 starts blinking).  I have installed CW for ColdFile 7.1 (which was on the DVD) and the 7.1.2 patch for the MCF5225x.  I also made sure that the OSBDM drivers located in <CW Dir>\Drivers\osbdm were installed when prompted for after connecting the tower, however neither CW nor the jm60_fwinfo.exe utility can detect it.

The device shows up in the Device Manager under "libusb (WinUSB) devices" as "Freescale OSBDM-JM60" and does not appear to have any errors associated with it.

I have also installed the Freescale JM60 GUI, but if I connect the tower with the BTLD jumber (J20) in place, I get a popup warning from Windows saying that the USB device has malfunctioned, and no LEDs on the board light up.

I have previous experience with programming and debuging ARM processors over JTAG, but have never used a ColdFire chip or OSBDM before.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi awm,

I had a very similar problem, and I've tried almost the same things that you've tried. I still can't connect to my board, and I was even wondering that it might be some issue on my board, or in the MC9S08JM60, that is where the firmware of the OSBDM is. I want to know if you solved your problem or if you are still trying to find some solution.

PS: If you have posted this in another section of the forum please let me know the link.

Thanks a lot,

Lucas

Actually, I found the solution a little while after posting here, so I didn't repost in the ColdFire forum.  What fixed it was downloading and installing the latest drivers from http://www.pemicro.com/osbdm/index.cfm (I had to create an account on the site).  Apparently PE Micro has taken over the maintenence of the original OSBDM drivers.  Once the new drivers were installed, I was able to program and debug my board normally.

Hope that helps,

Andrew

Sorry, I just realized this is the wrong place for this question (I should be in the ColdFire OSBDM forum).
