Hi
I've just found FC6 wont program my ECIO_Arm device.

Trying a simple program I get the following

No Device Detected - Press Button On Device

I Press the button

Cannot Find File Specified

Device Is Not Connected

Then the compiler gives mLoader reports error code 1.

I get this with the ECIO powered from either the PSU or USB.(Also tried USB with the ECIO removed from the Baseboard)

I have verified my ECIO with FC5 and all works as it should.

Hi John,

Thanks for letting us know. I have replicated the problem and we are looking into creating a fix.

Hi John,

I'm told that it works correctly if you manually launch the mLoader application and program that way. There does however seem to be an issue with command line programming which we hope to solve shortly.

Hi Benj

Thanks, I can now at least get a program into my device. BUT Its not quite right.

I get the same results programming with the PSU or taking power from the USB (Link set accordingly)

1.) I have to press the bootloader button on the ECIO while connecting to the USB port and this has to be done before starting mLoader otherwise it doesn't see the ECIO. This I can live with as it seems to work the same as the bootloader on the Cypress Board (Yes I bought one as well)

2.)Once the file is loaded to mLoader and I click send,
The progress bar show in green going across the screen, and right at the end I get the following error boxes

Cannot find file specified

Device is not connected.

But the program is loaded and running

Hi John,

Thanks for reporting this, ive come across a really bizarre error with this that im having trouble getting to the bottom of.

However through the magic of "trying everything till it works". I think ive got a much more stable version..... although i could do with someone else testing it if you dont mind to ensure that its a bit more stable.

Im getting it programming 95% of the time through both standalone and command line (Flowcode) methods.

Just rename your old mloader (to mloader_old or something) and paste this new exe into the same folder.

Hi David

I've installed your new mloader file and I still get the same results as before.

Could it be related to the bootloader in my ECIO? or the driver
