Target Vcc LED illuminates
The LED will illuminate if a target voltage
between 3.0 and 5.0V is detected.
FAIL LED flashes to indicate that the
programmer has rebooted. *** The FAIL LED no
longer flashes with firmware version 2.46 or
greater)
The programmer display now initialises to
show the programmer type, firmware version
etc. See 2.7(b), (c), (d).
•
If the programmer has never been used
before or the on-board FLASH Memory
Store has been erased, then the
programmer will display the message:
'No / Invalid Project Loaded'. This is
normal as the programmer 'FLASH
Memory Store' is empty so the
programmer cannot be used in
Standalone Mode.
•
It is not possible to check the
programmer information until a valid
project is uploaded. Please upload a
valid project to the programmer using
EQTools and then try again.
•
The programmer display now shows the
programmer type and the firmware
version.
e.g. 2.37.
•
You can check that you have the very
latest firmware version by viewing the
'Configit – Firmware Update Utility' on
the Equinox website.
After 2 seconds the display will update to show
the following information:
•
Serial Number (SN): eg. 619
•
Hardware Build Version: eg. 1.01
•
Build date: eg. 19 /1/2004
