Dear Peg,
Ok, the board is up and running.
I've placed a FT232R USB UART as well as all the necessary stuff to handle all the different physical layer protocols.
I checked all the info about MON08 and USB-UART converters and except for NoICe claims their software does work w FTDI and Silabs, nothing really conclusive.
I've set the VCOM driver for COM1, it seems to be the only port that CW recognizes, it enters MON mode, generates sw reset (board type 4), erases flash, starts programming and aborts with "error 14 during script".
Did someone go any further? Joerg talked about 10-bit break signal necessary, but I've found no specs on MON08 protocols.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Celso
