IFI Loader problems
Has anyone had any strange IFI problems...
For some reason after clicking on download (after selecting the Hex file) my computer gets a blue screen of death... then reboots... It happens fairly quickly so I can't tell you what is reported on the blue screen... I have a Toshiba Satellite, 512 MB Ram, 2.6 Ghz P4, XP Home SP1 ??? lmk Thanks |

Common Troubleshooting Steps: 1. Check What port your cable is connected to, and what COM Loader is using 2. Change What port your using 3. Check your hardware settings (Turn FIFO buffers off, just in case) 4. Reboot 5. Reinstall IFI_Loader 6. Recompile 7. E-mail IFI. they're real nice. Some not-so-common Steps: 8. Remove unnecesary hardware (Modems frequently take the place of a COM port) 9. Barrow your friend's boot drive and use that (put hex on floppy) 10. Try safe mode 11. Is it actually a COM port? 12. Remove COM Mice (Use PS/2 or USB, if you can) 13. Check Bot 14. Check cable |

Blue Screen :ahh: ... It hapenned to me with some other hardware stuff, I re-installed XP, and it worked fine thereafter. Try that if nothing works. |
Re: IFI Loader problems
I am using the usb to serial adapter... it turns out that I wasn't configuring the ifi app with the correct com port for the adapter. It was still weird getting that bsd... somewhere there is a bug to be squashed.
Thanks for the quick replies! BS |
Re: IFI Loader problems
Just tried to switch from my laptop (working fine) to the computer in the shop for s/w development. The IFI_LOADER downloads the .hex file apparantly fine, but just as it is finishing we get stuck. Specifically:
the download window says "programming" the terminal window pops up but displays nothing the PROGRAM STATE light on the RC (EDURC in this case) stays orange if I turn off then on the RC it's still orange However, if I download the code from my laptop then use the shop computer IFI_LOADER to display the terminal window only (no download) it works fine. Anybody seen this or have a suggestion? I will try a different com port when I go in later this morning, the computer has two. Bill |
Re: IFI Loader problems
Tried com2, no difference. Upgraded com driver, that didn't help either. Upgraded to most recent (1.07) IFI_LOADER, still same problem. Anybody got an idea?

Re: IFI Loader problems
I just got the blue screen and have been getting the blank terminal window for a while now. I have no idea what made it do that.

It works fine (see above) with a different computer, so it's not an RC issue, except maybe as regards program download and serial port management. Bill |

Re: IFI Loader problems
I've had some strange results with our edubot and the IFI Loader. I often have to load the new code to the edubot 2 or 3 times before it will take. I've just learned never to assume it's my fault if the code doesn't fire up the first time. Anyone else seen this?

Re: IFI Loader problems
For the last two days, every time I try to download a program to the RC with IFI, I get this pop up dialoge box saying
Run Time Error '76': Path Not Found This is after I bring up IFI and browse for the .hex I want. It happens with any program, even ones I havent touched. Anyone know what this means and how to fix it? |
