SAM-BA not connecting..

I am using an Olimex sam7s256 board. I tried to get it up and running in linux (Ubuntu). I was able to successfully install GCC and binutils. I installed SAM-BA for linux from the atmel site. I was able to get the USB port for connection as specified in the SAM-BA manual (.dev/ttyUSB0).

But when I try to use the GUI and ‘connect’ there is no response.

I though that there is a connection failure, so when I presses the reset button in the board, I get a message “Failed to initialize FLASH accesses”.

No matter how long I wait before pressing the reset button, I am not getting a SAM-BA window as given by other tutorials as below

can any one one help me out in this?

I did the ‘tst’ jumper set, reconnect the board for 10 s, disconnect and ‘tst’ jumper reset, reconnect before opening SAM-BA.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am stuck.

You might want to try a different version of SAM-BA. I saw that there was only one version that worked and it was not the newest one. I wrote a tutorial on how to use the board you are using.
