Hi Brian,
Please check the Freemaster settings (Project --> Options). The Port should represent the COM port number on your PC.
Also, ensure that the serial cable is correctly connected to both ports (EVB and PC).
Both Nodes must also be reset after programming.
If this fails, please check all hardware settings.
Ensure that FlexRay Channel A is connected to Channel A, and same for Channel B.
Best Regards,
David
