I have successfully copied my files to the graphics master. But when i reset (dip 3 on others off) i get a black screen on the lcd and the standard boot menu on my hyperterminal connection.

Thanks for the detailed debug output; it's quite helpful.

A couple thoughts:

  • Try setting your DIP switches to 1 and 3 ON, others OFF. It looks like only switch 1 is ON ("...Loader initializing(0x1)").

  • Try loading the latest REG and HWT files for the Graphics Master. This is the most common source of boot problems when reloading files.


Please let us know how it goes.

The Developers guide says to set dip switch one on and all others off. Is this incorrect? After i set both dip switches (1 & 3) everything was fine. Thanks for your help

I am using a Bitsy board + CE .NET, Irrespective of which positions I have my DIP switches, I am always getting the debug menu. I thought that it should be a hardware problem and have tried using two other bitsy boards, but still I am getting the debug menu when I bootup.

Is there an entry in the registers to control this or is it a purely Hardware mechanism.

Thanks

Hi Madav. Can you email us the output from the debug port from the time you first power up the system? That'll help us see where the issue is.

Thanks!
