Old Topics / With the RD2BA
September 23, 2003, 12:05:22 AM
Hi,
I have now become a regular user of FlashMagic for my RD+ and HBA programming so much so that my company never thought of fixing the old parallel programmer!!
Now for the current problem..
It has now become impossible to re-program the RD2BA.This is happenning with all my RD2BA chips.With reference to my earlier post for the same problem I can now conclude that most of the chips that I was trying to program were'nt blank ie they had come in for re-programming.
So this time when I started with a fresh chip it entered the ISP mode w/o any hassle.But when I tried to program it once more the usual error msg abt the PC not being able to communicate popped up (and has been ever since!)
Please take my word for the fact that I have looked into all possible settings that are reqd. I have even tried to reprogram the boot vector on a parallel prog.The programmer shows a successful reprogram but it does'nt work.And just to make sure, I repeat everything I try out with the HBA succesfully.
so anybody offering a soln. could move on from this point.I have observed that most ques. for the BA go unanswered here.I hope that does not happen with this problem of mine.So I would suggest to try out this problem with a fresh BA chip.
Thanks for reading all the way,
Gautam

Old Topics / Problem of migration

Hi everybody,
I did use a parallel port programmer all this time.Then it conked off!!
I found Flash Magic very convenient.But there is this recurrent problem that I am facing.The ICs range from the HBA, RD2 and even the RD+.
Almost all have been programmed earlier on the parallel prog. and refuse to communicate with the PC.On an avg., out of the 10 HBA chips I tried to program in Flash Magic only 2 responded.
Now the problem is not in the cable or the comm port coz the other 2 ICs are programmed smoothly.Is it possible to check if the factory masked BootROM has been erased and if yes then how do I feed these chips with a new BootROM code.
I have tried the debug mode but since the chip fails to comm further, i am totally at loss!
I am using a 18.432 MHz crystal and comm. at 9600 kbps
I am looking for an urgent solution coz there's a production plan pending.Hence forgive me if I have overlooked any info already available.
Regards,
Gautam Morey
