BL0032

[DAVIDJOINER]

Hi

When I tried v8 after installing V9 and running V8

ECIO40P16 hP299 ICD did not work
of course could be a coincidence

BL0032 did also not work when tried on FC8
Note I bought the BL0033 after I upgraded to FC9
So have never run BL0032 on FC8 prior to upgrading to FC9

So I haven’t now got files on FC8 running ICD correctly to send

Have you tried hp299 on FC9 on ECIO40P16

Thanks for the confirmation, David.

Have you tried hp299 on FC9 on ECIO40P16

Unfortunately I don't have access to a HP299.

Hi

Okay but prior to FC9 release as part of testing I would have thought
It would have been tested with past Ghost releases and these results would have been documented

I presume it is still supposed to still work in FC9

Also as I asked before did you resolve the similar issue raised in
the forum by others last year relating to ICD issues

Best regards
David

Hi Ben / Steve

Still no further forward on BL0032 Gkost ICD issue whatever i try cannot get icd to work


Do you test each board in the Ghost mode before dispatch as the Ghost software as mentioned before appears often very erratic re other numerous forum posts

Do you think you still have timing issues to make it work reliably in Windows 10 especially relating to BL0032
Note I think the board hardware is okay as i can pulse B6 B7 and monitor on the the ICT if ICD is not selected

Re the other 2 Ghost boards I own

1. HP299 on a ECIO40P-16
I managed to find an old copy HP299 Driver and re installed it
Finally got it running reliably again by putting in a break point at start and using step function not the start button

2. FLOW KIT 2 on Arduino UNO works fine but you have to ensure B0 & B1 are selected in the Ghost pin selection
as i note some of the FCD UNO options still have incorrect clock & data pins as the fault (ie D0 & D1)

Note also cannot see a reply replied to my repeated question

Did you resolve the very similar if not identical ICD issue others raised in the forum last year !!

Please revert as need to get this finally resolved as this has been ongoing for weeks

Hi David,

So you're aware, I should receive an EB0032 board in the next few days and I will investigate further.

Steve.

Hi David,

We have managed to replicate and fix the issue now. Typically our office has been without internet all day so I can post the fix to the update system.

However here is the updated file you need, please copy it to your "C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV9\FCD\PIC16" folder and restart Flowcode.

Many thanks for the update

Have loaded the new BL0032 FCD and the ICD now works fine

An excellent result
