Cannot upload Flowcode V8 to ECIO40P

[Monie Jacobsen]

Hi Benj and medelec35

Have tried to install: ECIO_Driver_Install.exe
But get the message below!

USB Driver Unsigned.JPG (39.61 KiB) Viewed 6854 times

Which directory should the USB Driver be installed?

Where is it going wrong?

Hi Monie,

Please can you follow my steps with the ECIOprog tool and report back as to how you get on.

Load the ECIOprog.exe
Connect your ECIO to the USB ensuring the jumper is set to USB
In the ECIOprog software Click File -> Open
Select your hex file
Click Program -> Send Program
Click Program -> Reset ECIO

You seem to be purposefully disregarding my advise.

I feel the USB driver is a red herring and won't help with the problem you're having. The fact the ECIOprog sees the ECIO and gets the version number proves the current driver is working fine. If you feel you must install it then you can do so by using device manager and selecting update driver and then pointing the wizard at the .inf file. Again if your using Windows 8 or 10 then this simply won't work and you will first have to disable the driver signature enforcement. Google can help with how to do this.

Hi Ben!
First of all,my english is not the best, so sometime I misunderstod you, sorry.

Now I have done all you ask me to do. Via EICO Programmer I am able to read, erasing the Eico, and of course see when I connect and disconnect the Eico. but not allowed to program.

the strange thing is, it work before the last update to 8.1.1.1

Please have patience with me, all kind of suggest is welcome.

Thanks

Monie

Hello Monie,

I am able to read, erasing the Eico, and of course see when I connect and disconnect the Eico. but not allowed to program.

What specific error messages are you getting when you try and program the device? Can you provide a screenshot of the error messages?

Please can you also attach the .hex file you are trying to program and I can try this here for you to confirm it's not related to the .hex file.

Hi Monie,

Please can you give me the error messages reported when trying to program manually using the ECIOprog tool!!!

Hi Monie,

Right I think we're getting somewhere now.

What do you mean by this, can you explain further.

But does not end

If you wait for the "Send Complete" and "Ready" messages to appear in the ECIOprog software and then click Program -> Reset ECIO from the menu then does this allow your program to run?

[Monie Jacobsen]

Hi everyone
After uploading .HEX then LED do not turn off the ECIO40P - with not end!
ECIO40P does not end at the end of upload!
What should I do??
Mid flowcode v8 cannot upload the codes to eg ECIO40P
Does anyone here have a proposal for solving the problem?

[Monie Jacobsen]

Hi everyone
Maybe I found a mistake!

Custom USB Devices ECIO-4OP 40-pin module!

Enhedshåndtering.JPG (40.89 KiB) Viewed 6735 times

Maybe the USB Devices ECIO-4OP should be moved to Universal Serial Bus controllers?
Is it possible to move USB Devices ECIO-4OP to another USB device????

[Benj]

Hi Monie,

The ECIO was programming correctly and then for some reason it stopped. Nothing in the programming software, USB driver, FCD etc I am aware of changed from 8.0 to 8.1.

So I would suggest trying one or both of the solutions below.

Have you considered trying to program the ECIO from a different computer to see if it's something specific to your PC.

Or getting a new ECIO to confirm if the ECIO you're using has become damaged.

[Monie Jacobsen]

Hi Benj
i have tried to reinstall the drivers, but it did not change anything

i have also tried to use the mLoader software, to check if it could recognize the ECIO40p, with luck, but when it tries to upload the .hex file it fails.

error4.JPG (22.23 KiB) Viewed 6719 times

maybe that can give you some idea of what could be wrong.

I should say that the ECIO blinks all the time, but does not stop againg after the programming fase.

i have testet it on 4 other ECIO40p, with same result.
i do really not no what to do now.

[jgu1]

Hej Monie!

Ben ask. Ben spørger:
So I would suggest trying one or both of the solutions below.
“ jeg vil foreslå dig at prøve en af løsningerne eller begge som jeg skriver her”:

Have you considered trying to program the ECIO from a different computer to see if it's something specific to your PC.
Har du overvejet at prøve at programmere EICOEn fra en anden computer for at konstatere at der ikke er et eller andet specifikt med din computer som du bruger nu.

Or getting a new ECIO to confirm if the ECIO you're using has become damaged.
Eller få en ny EICO for at finde ud af om der er fejl på den EICO du nu bruger.

I Think you not understand Monie, why I translate for you. Only for helping.

Hi jgu1
Have tried to upload ECIO40P with Flowcode v6 on another computer and here I could upload to ECIO40P without any problems.
Can upload the codes to the MIAC dsPIC in the Flowcode v8 without any problems

But cannot upload ECIO40P code with Flowcode v8 !

Also uses the same version driver of ECIO-40P 40-pin module (Data for driver 27-05-2015) for both Flowcode 6 and Flowcode v8

Don't have any other computer where I can try Flowcode v8

Does anyone here have an idea of what goes wrong and how I can upload codes to ECIO40P.

[jgu1]

Hi monie!

I see your point, strange. But I have 3 pc with FC8 installed, and I have old and new EICO 28 and 40 I can program all the EICO on all 3 computer. And on all pc, FC8 is updated.
I am not specialist, but as Ben mentioned, he think there is something specific with your computer, i agree.

But anyway, it seemed that your EICO working when you can program them on a another computer with FC6.

Br Jorgen.

Hi everyone
I just don't know what to do or what is the cause for not uploading to ECIO40P
User SSD hard disk is this where the error is or is missing something in the setup?
Now I can't use the tool
What's wrong.

Looks like you need to reactivate your licence via Help, Manage licences, My Flowcode Licence

Hi medelec35
Thank you very much

Work hard to find out why the computer Flowcode v8 cannot upload code to ECIO40P.
User SSD Hardisk this should not have any problems?

Hi everyone
Now I have tried many days to upload coder for ECHO40P and dsPIC Miac - It is impossible for me to work.
Isn't anyone there to help?
Or want to help show TeamViewer?

[Benj]

Hello Monie,

Since your reinstall have you installed the specific chipset and USB drivers for your motherboard. Windows may be simply using it's own drivers and hence all the problems you're having with USB.

Am I right in thinking you did a reinstall of Windows or was it just an update of Flowcode?

Might you have inadvertently damaged your USB ports with something? They are normally very well protected and hard to damage but not impossible.

[Monie Jacobsen]

Hi Benj
Sorry to have spent a lot of time solving the problem, but without success!
I just did update of Flowcode?
Can't connect with Windpds v8's own specific chipset for USB drivers??????

Can't use / refer to using another USB driver?

Or buy a new motherboard?
