Hello everybody,
I recently bought the sam7ex256 developmentboard, and tried to run the getting started code on the olimex site.
When it had its first compilation there was an error with the base pointer file(which was missing)…
Once I repaired this error, there was a nother problem by generating a *.bin file for programming the at91sam7x256. (this error was eliminated by making some changes in the settings)
But now the real problem:
When I download the gettingstarted.bin into the at91sam7x256 with SAM-BA 2.8, it does not work at all. I took a good look at the code, but I cannot discover anything about it why it shouldnt work.
I also downloaded the SAM7_EX256_GE8.bin file from Olimex.com but this binary code seems to run perfectly except for the usart!?? So I concluded that theres only something going wrong with compiling the code!!
Could anybody please give me some advice or perhaps send me a working copy of the getting started?
Im just one inch away from banging my head against the wall :oops:
By the way:
-
Im using IAR Embedded Workbench Kickstart for ARM 5.20 for compiling
-
and SAM-BA 2.8 for downloading binary files into flash
Thanks for your help,
Ruben Geurts
