Updating MC1322x boards

[hadhoud]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new to this forum and I hope to find help here. I have a very big problem. I have two freescale MC1322x boards (network and sensor node boards) and everytime I reprogram them with IAR EWARM 5.4 by clicking clean after rebuild all after make and finally debug, the application works but after I swith off/on it is replaced by the pre-installed application (weather station). Do I need everytime to use the firmware loader of the Test Tool to replace the pre-installed app ?

Another problem is that sometimes I have network problems even if I never touch the source codes given with codebases. For example with MyStarNetwork application, the network node that is connected with usb is detected by the application but after I link the sensor node it stays for some seconds then is inactive and goes away. Same problems were faced before with Weather Station Application but no more now. Very strange !

Hi Hadhoud,

Please try using IAR 5.2 as specified in the release node for the codebases.

by registering your IAR license on the website you will be able to download the 5.2 software.

else contact IAR support.

After contacting IAR I was able to find a way to get IAR 5.2 on their website. Here is the link:

Finally I succeeded in downloading IAR EWARM v5.2 and it's alright now. Thanks for your support

Thank you for your fast reply. You're right because I contacted an IAR support engineer and he told me that it's a problem with the flash loader and that I need the right .icf and .board files of the MC1322x platform. What I'm doing now is updating ram and not the internal flash of the boards. My issue now is that I can't access to the download page of IAR EWARM v5.2 ... Could anyone that have the 5.2 version give me the .board and .icf files ?

PS: Even Freescale does not have a download section for flash loaders and I think it's important for some developers ...
