OK, I’m frustrated. I’ve been using Crossworks with their Cross Connect, but now at work they need a quick ARM project using free tools and an ARM-USB-TINY-H, and I’ve spent the entire day trying to get it to work with either IAR or the Olimex Eclipse/GCC package. OS is Windows XP. I’ve gone through every permutation of downloading/installing/uninstalling/cleaning the drivers (except the correct one, of course). It simply won’t connect.
Then I brought home the A-U-T-H to try it on my Windows 7 machine with Crossworks and couldn’t make it work there either. I read that 64-bit operation is a problem, but that doesn’t explain my troubles at work.
So I’m looking for either the magic words to make this device work on an XP machine, or a recommendation for another JTAG device in that price range.
And I have never appreciated Crossworks and CrossConnect so much!
you did not explain your problem at all. have you read this http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ? what do you mean by “not working”? what errors are you getting? what have you tried so far to resolve those errors?
Granted, I didn’t give as much info as would be desirable, but that’s because I’m writing from home and don’t have the error messages in front of me. The Windows 7 / Crossworks error message is “Cannot find FTDI driver for USB device (vid = 0x15BA, pid = 0x002A…)” but I don’t actually care if it runs on my home system, so I’m not particularly interested in following that up.
I know that at work I got something similar to this (I grabbed this text from a forum post somewhere):
But I don’t remember the details of the WARN and ERROR text.
I was hoping that there might be some default “yeah, in 80% of these cases it’s XYZ”. If not, I’ll have to try again on Monday when I’ve got the errors in front of me.
