Another code download problem

[ofshea]

I've looked through a lot of pages, and I think our issue might be unique.

Symptoms:
Downloading works (I've watched it in Wireshark, and I can see the file in /ni-rt/system/)
Then we try to reboot the system, to run the downloaded code (using 'Reset Target').
And it never comes back! After a hard-reboot, it starts talking again, but it pretends that we never downloaded anything.

Things I've tried:
-Putting the .out into /startup (same results)
-Connecting over a serial connection (using the Windriver terminal) -- I don't seem to get anything (one empty line?). I've been sure to match the port settings etc. and it's on a standard port (COM1). It is using a serial/usb converter (from VEX I think), because the programming laptop doesn't have a serial port.
-Using the DefaultRobot binary, rather than our own code (same results)

Another note: sometimes we get messages like mikets' (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=83212), but not often (and I'm not sure in what context -- it's only happened once or twice).

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
