Generating a debug file allows us at ESAcademy to see what is going on between Flash Magic and a device. The instructions for generating a debug file are given below. However, before generating the file first try to diagnose the problem by completing some basic steps. The steps are given here:
http://forum.flashmagictool.com/index.php?topic=3273.0To generate a debug file:
Windows Vista users: start Flash Magic with Administrator permissions
1. Start Flash Magic
2. Click on the entry in the COM port field to give the Flash Magic window the focus
3. Press F1 to enter debug mode ("Debug" will appear at the top of the window)
4. Perform the specific operation or operations that you are having a problem with. For example, ISP -> Read Device Signature...
5. Wait for any error message and make a note of it.
6. Press F2 to exit debug mode
7. Send us the generated debug file
along with the results of all your tests - what was tried, what the result was, etc.8. Delete the debug file.
Windows 2000/XP: The debug file is located at C:\flashmagic.fmd.
Windows Vista/7: The debug file is located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\flashmagic.fmd. Replace <username> with your user name.
