Apr. 2 LMS openocd-flash screenshots/problems

If JTAG quits, then

• turn off LMS (switch or take battery out)
• unplug usb to JTAG and plug back in
• wait for JTAG to boot (blinking light)
• turn LMS back on

Looking for a pattern on when

• VLOW and 
• looks like problem was broken wires in the connector from the JTAG
• also if the lms is plugged in then FORTE is running, which may use more power than what is coming from charger 
• (so need to look into power management later)
• broken pipe problems 
• unknown eclipse problem - but did occur with arm-elf-insight was running

occur:

• to avoid these problems
• to find the simplest or at least some consist way to get LMS openocd-flash to work again

Don't yet have a full set of fully working screen shots, nor screenshots as soon as problems start.

 

 LMS openocd-flash screenshots

 with no problems: (from 2 Apr.)

openocd.bat with no errors

java eclipse - run also worked correctly (no screenshot)

Mistake: in 4diac-ide / deployment clicked on launch forte instead of download

unfortantely didn't take screenshot first time Vlow problem occurred

with Vlow problem (from 2 Apr. - plugged in, 2nd time)

LMS continually clicks, showing it is firmware reset mode  

• openocd-flash.bat downloads to firmware, it must hang / have problems after going into firmware reset mode. 
• The clicking eventually stopped, but not clear why.
• Tried reseting the firmware for an LMS with LEGO default Mindstorms firmware. It continued to click until its firmware was updated (via LEGO Mindstorms SW).
• LMS when turning PC on and off
• Turn computer off and LMS stays on
• Turn computer on
• LMS turns off at some point when the user id is being signed on to (not during boot up)
• PC on / Press orange button
• led turns on
• lms starts to click and PC sounds like a device was connected
• after some time: 
• PC sounds: device disconnect
• LMS clicking stops, 
• led turns off 
• Tried updating firmware from LEGO Mindstorms
• The NXT brick was not found
• either device not recognized by PC
• or what is currently on the NXT brick makes unrecognizable

Vlow value:

• 1.47-1.55 with USB plugged in to the LMS
• same value with or without the battery pack in the LMS!
• 0 when USB is not plugged in to LMS
• JTAG error if its USB is not plugged in
• 3.2 but then get -902 error, next time back to Vlow error

-902 error (battery plugged in and fully charged)
Also the PC:

• pops up a unrecognized device connected message; 
• device connection sound; 
• shortly afterwards device disconnect sound

Beforehand arm-elf-insight  followed by open of forte.exe worked.
