POD problem

Leon

When I first tried POD yesterday with the POD_demo.binary program, it was OK. However, when I tried it subsequently, I got a verify error when I loaded the program, and this now happens every time. It's the same with other programs I've tried.

Any suggestions?

Empty battery? Would not be the first time....
Does it work with F10?

Leon

I'm running from a mains PS, and POD·puts the target program·into RAM.

Everything works fine, otherwise. I don't have any problems loading programs via the Prop Tool. It's just loading a target program with the POD debugger that doesn't work.

Sorry, this was unclear from your OP...

I just rebooted my laptop and that fixed the problem - very strange.

It was your computer Leon, PCs must be able to respond quickly when a download occurs, if you are running other intensive programs or had you computer on for a long time, it's responsiveness suffers and the error you see can happen.

Thanks, Paul. I tend to leave it on for a long time. The same thing happened when I tried my desktop PC, it was OK after I rebooted.

Leon,

if this problem should occur again please exit PropTerminal, disconnect your PropBoard, then reconnect it again and start PropTerminal again. I have solved it with this sequence when this problem was sometimes occured by me.
