This section reports some common problems that may arise during general use.

Communication Can't Be Established with PK-HCS12E128

1. Make sure the PK-HCS12E128 starter kit is connected to the PC and powered on. PK-
HCS12E128 is powered by the USB connection.
2. If you connected the PK-HCS12E128 board to the PC before installing the CodeWarrior
user interface and the SofTec Microsystems Additional Components, the PK-
HCS12E128 USB driver may not have been correctly installed on your system.
Unplugging and replugging the USB cable is of no use, since Windows has marked the
device as "disabled". As a consequence, CodeWarrior cannot communicate with the
PK-HCS12E128 board.
To restore the USB driver (provided both CodeWarrior and SofTec Microsystems
Additional components have been installed), perform the following steps under
Windows XP:
§
Plug the PK-HCS12E128 board to the PC.
§
Open the Control Panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel).
§
Open the "System" options.
§
Select the "Hardware" tab.
§
Click the "Device Manager" button.
§
The "PK-HCS12 Series Starter Kit" device will be shown with an exclamation
mark next to it. Double click on this device.
§
In the "General" tab, click the "Reinstall Driver" button. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
