Toady, I was frustrated by the miskate while I load my program to Propeller. I use proto board with USB port.
I have been successful to use this board to complete my project several times. So, I am not a beginner to Propeller.

Attached image is the error content

Does anyone can tell me how to check this error ?

    The Propeller has to be functioning to be "found". The most common reasons for this error are: 1) No power, 2) Bad USB cable.

    3) Leaving a serial connection "enabled".

    Close any terminal programs you might be using. And as usual with a Windows computer, try restarting the computer (I still have to do this sometimes).

    I received similar errors when trying to load a program to a Propeller that was trying to send data to the PST terminal. I found that if I reset the Propeller board then pressed F11 quickly, it could catch the propeller before it started trying to send data out and program every time.

    There was a time where we had a problem like this in another project. We realized it was a loader software bug and fixed it.

    Have you tried using BST (etc...) with this problem?

    Since I only use PST for debugging during initial code creation, I didn't go far in trying to resolve the problem and just used the band-aid I discovered. I have been meaning to give BST a try anyways, so I will see if the problem is avoided with it.
