Unable to run anything on TWRMCF51CN - Need Help!

Hello,

 

I have a TWRMCF51CN tower EVB with the serial board and the LCD module. I have Codewarrior 10.1 installed and MQX 3.7 installed. I appear to be able to build projects without error. However, when I go to try and download an executable to the tower I seem to get no indication that the program (any hello world program or demo/example) is doing anything. The debugger will apparently erase and program the board but I can get no indication that anything is happening - I was hoping that a printf statement would cause a message to display on the CW console, but nothing happens. No error messages, but I do get all sorts of messages that the target was laucnched.

 

Also, I was led to believe from the documents that came with the board that all I need to have between the board and the PC is a USB cable -  but with just the USB cable connected the board has power but the CW debugger says there is no connection to the board. If I also connect the  PE Micro USB Multilink to the BDM jack, I will get the board to erase and program as above, but cannot see anything happen.

 

Can anyone give me any advice on things to check?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi John,

 

the MQX default console (standard output/input) is set serial line - The setting required for your board can be found in C:\Users\Peta\MQX\doc\FSL_MQX_Getting_Started.pdf chapter 6.10 TWR-MCF51CN-KIT.

 

Default Console in this case is:
ttyb:
RS232 on TWR-SER board.
