Error: Flash Download failed -

Hi! I've never posted here and I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but this is driving me nuts. I'm getting this "Error: Flash Download failed-" I'm using an Infineon xc866 and trying to have it communicate with different components on a protoboard. It'll load fine if I don't have any of the mc's pins connected to anything on the protoboard but it won't load when I connect all the pins. I'm getting alot of "Content mismatch at address 0000H (Flash=00H Required=02H)"

There's plenty of those. The thing is, I can load other minor codes I've done before onto the mc and don't have any problems. Any idea how I can check to see if it's my coding or how I'm connecting it to the protoboard? Also I have no problem compiling the code. Any help is much appreciated, it's for a school project and any new advice is very welcome.

  • Start small. Take a working program and download it and make sure you get no flash programming errors.

    Then, add the smallest amount of code to only wiggle a port pin. Get that working and downloading. If it fails and the code is small, you don't have many places to look for the problem.
