I am having trouble using SAM-BA v2.6 to flash my AT91SAM7S256 eval board. The eval board works the demo program preloaded was running just fine. I performed the bootload copy by closing JP5 (TST), applied power, wait 10 seconds, power down. When I run SAM-BA it ask for the communication port, to which I reply "\USB\ARM0" and supply the board name as AT91SAM7S256-EK. Click OK. And then I get a "communication error". Is there any other software driver that should be loaded or anything? I found it curious that the communication drop down field did not list USB just COM ports. Thanks. Joe
Hello Joe, what board do you have, an original ATMEL board or a clone? Regards, Michael

In this case, I have no idea. I thought it was an other board.

I discovered my problem. When I would plug the USB cable into the board. Windows would want to install a driver. Before I was telling it to cancel, well I let it install a driver (not sure of the filename...) it started to work! Joe

What is the filename of the driver you run for this board? Can you PLEASE check in the hardware setup section for your OS? It might be exatly the thing I need for my board!! Best regards Nils S

When I inserted the USB cable to AT91SAM7S-EK board, I got the usual "found new hardware" dialog and I let it install what ever driver it found because I didn't give it any help. So if you are running Windows XP just try to let windows find it's own driver. Joe
