I have been trying to upload my hex files to the philips 8032 microcontroller. On one computer i have it setup and working fine, using the Ld.exe with "name of hex file".hex/i/32k/p2 On one computer it works fine, the hex file is sent on the parallel port to the uP and it runs. On my laptop I try sending the hex file, everything reports that it has been sucessfully sent, even the uP. But then when you come to start the uP it does nothing. Both computers are running win XP Pro Sp1, i have allowed access to the parallel port 0378 to 037F and both computers are set up the same. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Andy
On one computer it works fine, the hex file is sent on the parallel port to the uP and it runs. On my laptop I try sending the hex file, everything reports that it has been sucessfully sent, even the uP. But then when you come to start the uP it does nothing. Laptop parallel ports are not always 100% compatible with the original LPT port on the PC. For that reason, a lot of programmers fail when used on a laptop. Have you asked the company who made the programmer if they have tested it on your brand of laptop? Jon
"everything reports that it has been sucessfully sent, even the uP." What do you mean by, "even the uP?" "both computers are set up the same" Does that include BIOS settings? "Both computers are running win XP Pro Sp1" Does your programmer specifically say that it'll work with XP?
