I have some strange problems with the MCBSTR730 evaluation board when I want to flash. Sometimes it just works ok and I can flash my program to it. But most of the time it doesn't work. I checked like everything.
I did use the same parameters as shown in the getting started guide. I also tried the Blinky example (with the right parameters). Also reducing the JTAG speed down doesn't solve the problem. Next to this uVision is freezing a lot of time when the JTAG is connected to the MCBSTR730 board.
Some error messages I do get: - Could not stop ARM device - Error: Flash Download failed - ulink communication time out - Cannot load flash algorithm And maybe some more but most of the time uVision just freezes and I have to restart it and there is nothing flashed to the STR730.
I do also have a MCB2100 board working with the same uLINK2 and here everything works right, always. So it seems that the problem is somewhere near the MCBSTR730 board (I have this board just for two days).
Does anyone have some kind of solution for this problem? Or maybe some more things I could check, I feel like I did tried everything. I did went completely through all the support docs and so.
Thanks in advance.
Hello Bas van Dijk,
maybe the link www.keil.com/.../mcbstr730_fp_download.htm gives some help.

Hi Martin Guenther,
I did use the settings like in the guide you mentioned but it doesn't solve the problem. Thanks anyway!

I am using ULINK2 and now MDK 3.15b. I never had the problems with the MCBSTR730 you described.
Are you using ULINK or ULINK2 and which version of MDK you are using?
Hello Bas van Guenther,
I had a problem before but i lowered the clock so it was not two high. I think it was about 9 and I went to 7.
What version of the RTOS are you using and where have you got the include files.
I have the ULINK2 and I do use uVision v3.53 see down here:
IDE-Version: µVision3 V3.53 Copyright (c) Keil Elektronik GmbH / Keil Software, Inc. 1995 - 2007

I am having problems with applications like Blinky (demo version which is on the Keil CD). They are using
#include <73x_lib.h> /* STR730 library functions */
as library.
Strange thing is that sometimes everything just works fine, but most of the time is doesn't.
Sorry for the kick, but still having the same problems.
Is there maybe an other way to flash it or maybe test on the evaluation board what could be wrong?
