Flowcode Support Board

Hello,
I seem to have an issue with setting up Flowcode.
So far, I have installed flowcode, Installed all the toolchains.

I Have both a BL0080 and BL0032-1 Eblocks2.
I have written a very basic do nothing program.
When the compile to target is pushed all is working well until i get the Message in a pop-up window saying "No Device Detected when compile to target".
This happens with either Eblocks2 boards so i would guess that there must be a simple setting?
Both boards are powered by only using the USB plug and both boards are showing a solid red LEB Power light. The USB LED, DEBUG and the TEST LED lights are not lit.

Below is a copy of the compiler message screen.
Thanks for you time.
Karl Gross

Hello.
First thing, have you installed the Eblock2 drivers?
If you scroll down on the download page, you will see USB Drivers.

It's important that when the Eblocks2 upstream board is connected to the PC, the USB LED flashes when Flowcode is loaded.

Also, within Build > Compiler Options for your target type, make sure E-Blocks is highlighted and Default for the platform C for (your target device) is ticked.

Thank you for your time.
What i found out was the USB ports on the front side of my desktop computer are not plugged in. When i tried a port on the back of the computer the USB link was established and took the code.

At least your issue is resolved now which is great!
Thanks for letting us know.
