[QUOTE="MaryHinge, post: 574428, member: 297421"] Quick tips for anyone having problems with the DM500 JTAG: 1. Make sure the JTAG cable is below 10cm in length, I had to shorten mine from around 11cm to 8cm to be sure. 2. I couldn't get jtag_windows.exe to work at all, but succeeded with JtagDm500.exe which seems less fussy on the timing for the DM500 power on. 3. Timing of the DM500 power on is critical so get yourself in a postition where you can use a switch to power the unit on, with the switch easily accessible from the computer. I used a switched power extension lead which was perfect. You are going to find it very difficult to get the timing right if you are just plugging the power adapter into a socket or putting the 12v lead in the back of the DM500. 3. You might need to try several times using JtagDm500.exe, this was my experience: [LIST] [*]The first time it hung at the "download" stage (100% CPU, no progress) [*]The second & third time it came up with an error at the erase flash stage [*]Forth time was successful, note 100% CPU during the download stage is normal. [*]Download stage took approx 20 mins [/LIST] 4. Patience is very important, if you aren't getting anywhere and getting frustrated, give up for the day and try again the next day, use the time to recheck and re-examine the JTAG cable, PC settings etc. Good luck!!!
