Ben,

The .elf file that you're trying to load is for JTAG debugging purposes. Please try a load elf command on one of the .elf files that you download under the category "LogicLoader™ Bootloader/Monitor" in the 'my account' section of Logic's webpage. I would reccomend the file titled "LogicLoader for the LH7A400-10". I think you'll have more success there, here's a link, let me know how it works out.

This looks like another case where the file isn't being sent in 'binary' mode. Could you please check the settings on your terminal emulator program.

If you are using TeraTerm, make sure you check the 'Binary' option at the bottom of the 'Send file' dialog box.

Please let us know if this is the issue.

Thanks,

Thanks for all of your reply!

The problem solved!

Yesterday , after i have configured the IP of the board. I did ping to verify the connectivity. It worked fine, and then i went out for another job. When i was back, the board was rebooted. Reconfigured the IP again , tried to upload the image , then I got the errors described in the post.

Today, I found the LEDs of ACT and LNK are not blinking. It seems that the LAN port is not working. (the error message is rather confusing..) I could not get the connection up by configure the IP. Finally ,i found a solution to the problem:

ifconfig sm0 dhcp (after typed the command , the LEDs are blinking immediately)
ifconfig sm0 X.X.X.X X.X.X.X X.X.X.X

Lolo version: BRA_release_1-2-pre1.2.5

Ben,

Good, I'm glad that you solved your issue. I guess I missed the fact that you were using TFTP to download the file. So my remark about setting the terminal setting to binary mode was pretty useless

I'd like to add a few facts about the ifconfig command that have confused people in the past.

-) 'ifconfig sm0 dhcp'
This will initialize the Ethernet controller, activate it, and attempt to obtain an IP address, netmask, gateway, etc. from a DHCP server. So, as long as you have a DHCP server running on your local network, this is the only command you need.

-) 'ifconfig sm0 x.x.x.x y.y.y.y z.z.z.z'
This will initialize the Ethernet controller and set the IP address, netmask and gateway. However, it will NOT activate the controller. If you want to use the network connection, you need to follow with the command; 'ifconfig sm0 up'.

Oftentimes, people without a DHCP server running on their network will use the second command to assign a static IP address. But, they forget to actually bring the interface up afterwards.

Please post back if you have any more questions.
