serial port problem with oem bs2 under parallels

kevin_harvest

Has anyone had a serial port problem with a oem bs2 where you can get the identity of the BS2 chip from the development environment by clicking the icon, but it will not load a program? I also noticed that after initally getting the identity, subsequent attempts to read the identity give the error"port in use"

Any suggestions? It is definately worth noting that I am running this·on win XP using Parallels on a mac. I'm also using a keyspan USB-serial adapter.


Thanks

I don't know anything about Parallels, but you might give MacBS2 a try and just stay under OS X.

That's it! I didn't have much luck with macbs2 with my usb boebot, but boy howdy it works good with the oem bs2.

Thanks!
