I just upgraded my installation of EasyC Pro from 3.1.0.9 to 3.1.1.5, and all seemed to go well except that I can no longer access the programmer.
Every time I try to bring up the Terminal, On-Line Window, or download a binary, I get a “Failed to Initialize On-Line!” message. All the com ports are grayed-out and none are checked, so I can’t select COM5 (where my programmer should be). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling (and rebooting) a couple times but had the same result. This is using the Intelitek loader v3.1.
I tried running EasyC V2 and it sees my programmer on COM5 just fine, so I don’t think there is a problem with the serial driver. I noticed that was using Intelitek loader v2.9.
I will try downgrading to EasyC Pro 3.1.0.9 next to see if that helps.
OK, I’ve gone back and forth several times now. ECPro 3.1.0.9 always lets me select COM5 and sees my programmer. ECPro 3.1.1.5 never lets me select a COM port.
Please let me know if there is a workaround, or if you need additional info to sort this out. In the mean time I’ll just stick with the older version.
Oh, I should add that I’m running this on Windows Vista Ultimate + SP1.
You need to goto LoaderSetup under the Build and Download menu. You can also select “automatic” and the loader will hunt for the programming cable com port.
The reason I went looking for the upgrade in the first place was that I was unable to run I/O Ports 1-10 as digital outputs under program control. I’m happy to report that the upgrade fixed that!
