Steve,
Continuing on from the last posting I have now replaced the 'original' mLoader with the 'mLoaderA' version and that works perfectly just as it did for the other chap yesterday. Flowcode8 program runs and combi board does what it should do! The failing seems to have been with my file ...

Steve,
Sorry for the delay but that little bit of housekeeping took longer than I expected! Our files now mirror one another but I deleted the various versions of mLoader. I downloaded the current mLoader from the website so that puts my system back to square one. I can ...

Steve,
Screenshot of the 'tools' folder. The mLoader highlighted is mLoader_dbg which gave rise to the 9 debug images referred to yesterday.
The mLoader_check is immediately below it. The other various 'mLoader' metamorphisms have been given extensions or deleted.

Steve,
This is what came of the 'mLoader_check.zip' test.

Steve,
Did you get my message of last evening? Couldn't locate on the computer this morning.

Steve,
The answer to your question regarding a similar debug message to &pholz, is shown on the first of the attached screenshots. Similar, yes, but not the same. There were 9 debug messages (two duplicated) in total before the final screen (mLoader ...

Steve,
The first exercise (dbg3.zip) resulted in 9 messages which I captured but got overtaken by your subsequent suggestion.
The second (8_3check.zip) led to the same text as you outlined in red.
Where do you want me to proceed from there?
Robert

Hello Steve,
Over optimistic I am afraid. I have renamed mLoaderA as the new mLoader (as you suggested) but the Flowcode8 program continues to fail to find the path!
I am more than happy for your assistance to try to get to the bottom of this. Just very grateful.
Robert

Sorry Steve, I forgot to add the evidence of success!
Robert

Hello Steve,
Thanks for your perseverance and continuing support. This version of mLoader successfully on activation brought up the screen showing the 0080. I think that is success!
Launching Flowcode8 with a programme to use the 'combi' results in the earlier mLoader being accessed. How do I ...

Steve,
I did as you requested. D-click on the mLoader (2) in 'tools' this time brought no subsequent MATRIX LOADER image. Nothing.
I then ran the Flowcode8, 'compile to chip' but this failed exactly as before with no path found.

Steve,
As requested, E-Blocks2 connected, mLoader_dbg2 installed and ran. One diagnostic captured (Diag3) then the final MLoader screenshot on completion (Diag6). Note: a second run resulted in a different end screen (Diag5). Can't explain that one!

Steve,
Very grateful for your effort. I downloaded the mLoader file as you requested, put the Mloader_dbg into Tools then double clicked. The screenshots are what then followed. The third screenshot was the 'red' MATRIX MLOADER screen (unpopulated) and not reproduced here ...

Benj,
As suggested I introduced the new 'mLoader' but as you will see from the screenshot shown in my other subject (mLoader and Windows 10) to which you also referenced the replacement 'mLoader', it doesn't appear to alter the outcome. I can't see where the failure to see the path arises as ...

Benj,
Thanks for investing some time in trying to resolve this mLoader issue. I reinstalled mLoader as you suggested. I tried it (EB0080 connected and recognised in Device Manager: USB). I tried clicking om mLoader but the 'red' logo appeared not the one populated with the chip ...

The suggestion from an earlier topic posted on the Forum (Flowcode8 and E-Blocks2) was that with a certain Version and Build level of a Windows 10 computer, the mLoader software does not recognise the BL0080 Multi-programmer board and thereby ruling out the E-Blocks2 facility as a means of ...

Ben,
Thought the sequence following the attempt to run a Flowcode program might prove helpful.

Compilation successful.
Launching the linker/assembler
C\: program files(86) Flowcode v8(tools)\DoNothing\DoNothing.exe

Launching the programmer
C:\Program Files(86) \Flowcode V8\tools\mloader\mloader ...

Hi Ben,
Sorry, I omitted the PC details you requested. These are:
Version 1903
OS Build 18362.592
Robert

Hello Ben,
Many thanks for getting back to me. I did part 1 of what you suggested and that was to look under Device Manager and I get exactly the same as you showed in your email under 'Custom USB Devices'.
To activate mLoader, I have been going into the file structure as listed in my previous ...

Sorry, this is proving very fragmented. Following my last reply in which I located the path to the MLOADER, open the MATRIX MLOADER box,cclicked on File at the top LHS, then opened the file:
C:\Users\R Lamb\Documents\mloader_4.0.0.1\EB006-00-9.hex
and proceeded to load the file from EB006-00-9.hex ...

Following on from my last reply, I now how the path:
Windows(C)>Program Files(86)>Flowcode>Flowcodev8>tools>mloader
Clicking on this brings up a box (9MB) which is the MATRIX MLOADER If I click on 'File' at the top of the box, this proceeds to load the file from
EB006-00-9.hex which was the file ...

Hello Benj,
Sorry for the delay but I am quite new to PC's and have not progressed very far with Flowcode8. No, my target board is the EB combo and the PC is 'bog standard' (sadly, not an Apple!)
I have been trying to find the file which you referred to. In the Flowcode8 file I downloaded there is ...

Hello Benj, It is the chip which came with the EB0080.
Robert

Qmesar, thank you. I downloaded the Eblocks2 (BL0080) drivers from the Matrix resources site, extracted the file then clicked on the 64-bit installer. The drivers were then loaded and the sequence, on clicking, completed. I presume that they were the only steps necessary to download the drivers ...

I recently bought the EB0080 and the Combi-board. Set them up and got a simple program to run using the simulation in Flowcode8. When I try to compile to chip it would appear that it can compile but not transfer to the chip. The diagnostic comes back as chip not found. My Combo board attached to the ...
