Help and Support
Do you need help or have general support questions, than I hope this page helps you resolve those.
This page has a quickstart troubleshooting approach that goes over some very general questions and common pitfalls, but if you have a specific issue which requires more information or detail please contact us through EngineerZone or Email. (links can be found further down on the page where to direct specific questions)
What to do When Things Go Wrong
There are many things that can go wrong with an ecosystem this complex, but if you are having issues getting the board or software working, here are a few simple things you can try before contacting Analog Devices.
Check the Power
Program the ADuCM3029
Sometimes a flashed program doesn't run properly or can make it difficult to run the debugger.
The first thing to try in this case, is to
drag and drop a known good .HEX or .BIN program into flash.(something with quick visible indicators works best)
If drag and drop is not working, it may be necessary to erase the flash. To do so:
-
Make sure that the
USB is selected on the three way
UART switch (S2).
Power cycle the ADICUP3029 board while holding down the boot switch (S3)
Select the mbed serial COM port in the CrossCore Serial Flash Programmer, and erase the flash.
-
If the mass erase didn't work, and you are trying to drag and drop a large .BIN file on EVAL-ADICUP3029 Rev B hardware, it's possible that the mbed interface file needs to be updated to support your application.
-
Once you are in “maintenance mode” you should drag and drop the latest interface file onto your maintenance drive. That file can be downloaded at the bottom of
Maintenance Drive Page.
Not receiving/transmitting data to the
UART
Make sure that the
UART switch (S2) is positioned in the correct destination to transmit/receive
UART data.
I'
m trying to program/debug, but I'
m getting errors.
Check the drives attached to your computer, do you see a mass storage device called
DAPLINK or
Maintenance? If you see the Maintenance drive and your
USB is plugged in, then likely the ADuCM3029 isn't being powered, which means the power switch (S5) is likely in the “BATT” position. Flip it “WALL/
USB” and unplug/reconnect your
USB cable to your computer, and try to programming again.
