problem connecting to DEMO9S12XEP100

[schnapp]

Hi,

I'm having problems connecting to the DEMO9S12XEP100.

I followed all steps in the User Manual.

The board in standalone mode works fine, i.e. potentiometer and light sensor can be mapped to the LEDs by pushing the buttons.

I installed CodeWarrior Development Studio for S12(X) V5.1

I installed CW12 V5.1 Processor Expert v3.04 Sevice Pack from the DVD

I installed the "Additional Components" from the SofTec CD (there was also a service pack on there related to version 4.5 which I didn't install)

Driver installation after connecting the board via USB worked fine - there's no exclamation mark next to the driver in the device manager.

Problems start when I select Project>Debug in CodeWarrior.

I get an error message: "Communication Error. Make sure the USB cable is connected to the instrument and retry"

I restarted the application as well as the system, but also get the same error.

Later I enabled "Show Protocol" and got this:

executing C_layout.hwl
