problem with interface

[Vijayakrishna]

Hi all,

I am using MPC5604B starter trak. I followed the installation instructions given in the corresponding pdf downloaded from the TFC 2012 website. i tried downloading the sample program given in the same website. when i choose Project--->Debug, as mentioned in the instuctions, i get 3 windows - code, status, cpu. but in addition to these, i'm getting a 4th window PEMICRO connection manager. in this window, if i give connect, i get a msg in the status window that "Device cannot be connected".

Also, in the hyperterminal, i chose COM1 and gave the values specified in the instructions. wat does this do with the kit?

I could understand the sample program and i'm confident of doing the main program. but i couldn't understand the operation of the software with the kit while downloading.

I beg for some savior's help as i have not even downloaded a single program into the kit i received still.

Thanks in advance.

The hyperterminal bit is only available if you have populated the RS232 transceiver on the TRAK board.  You must modify the board before that bit of the software will work.

As for the failure to launch the debugger, that is a pretty straightforward process.  I would suggest trying a different USB port so that it redetects all the drivers and let Windows configure.  When it's plugged into the USB you should be getting power to the board.  That's the first easy thing to check.  If you are not, go through the jumper configurations part of the directions again.
