UART programming and debug

[HeLiO]

Hi all!

I m using VS 1000b with SDHC card. I ve just starting reading the manual nad found good ways of programming and debugging. I want to program VS 1000b through UART as shown in example "Hello, World" in "guide_vs_1000_01.pdf". I made steps from hello.c to hello.bin (so now i have hello.bin file). Next step according to manual is:

//*********************** STEP LOADING ******************
Loading
There are many ways to load runnable code to VS1000 chips. Code can be loaded
automatically during boot-up time from an SPI EEPROM or a NAND flash.
During program development it’s usually easiest to load the code using an RS-232 (“COM
port”) emulator interface, which connects to the RX and TX pins of the VS1000. 1
The PC side interface is invoked with:
vs3emu -chip vs1000 -s 115200 -l hello.bin
//******************************************************************

So, i connected UART in vs1000 through RS 232 to PC COM PORT. Next i make supply to my vs 1000 nad try to run this code:

vs3emu -chip vs1000 -s 115200 -l hello.bin

The answer is: "using serial port 1. Couldnt set control state." And window closes. Where is my mistake?
Tnx for answering


P.S.
I need some help in undestanding the IDEA of programming via uart and using uart as echo debug monitor (by this i mean controlling running code by sending strings to uart and analizing them on PC by HyperTerminal for example )

Hi!

Could you tell what did you do to solve it? Did you have another program using the port or perhaps a bad connection with a cable?

I will answer but promise you will answer in theme SDHC OGG files too )

My problem was simple : in my company, guy that makes shemes mussed up TX and RX pins of VS1000 and MAX 232 interface, so i coulnt get any of VS1000 to be alive) And the problem about how to understand the idea of debugging was solved by reading manual.
