    Hello all,
    I am trying to load a sample Windows CE image to the development board for the first time. I copied the NK.bin file to the compact flash and load the image using "load bin NK.bin" command. After loading, I send the approptiate script in the sample image .zip file to the board. I think, normally it should now boot the machine with Windows CE. However, nothing comes to the screen.
    I did all of these things according to the "Windows CE Software Evaluation Guide" document below and the screen outputs were not different from the ones in the document, so I think that there is no error during the procedure.

    http://www.logicpd.com/do...81/1001090_Rev_D.pdf

    I tried several sample images but none of them worked. I use the 3.5-QVGA-10 display and tested it with paint command so there is no problem with the display.

    I am a beginner and I suspect that it is a simple problem.

    Any suggestions are appreciated,

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Can you please copy/paste the output from your TeraTerm window and post it here so I can see the process that you're using to boot the image?

    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Here is the output. I can't see anything on the screen after this point.

    Thank you,

    I would highly suggest downloading the latest LogicLoader code and CPLD versions to update your system. Instructions are included on how to do this.

    http://www.logicpd.com/au...nloads/LH7A404/#lolo
    - LogicLoader for the LH7A400 Card Engine

    http://www.logicpd.com/au...LH7A404/#hdwe_design
    - LH7A400-11 CPLD Update


    (Note that you are posting in the LH7A400 Forum, but it looks like you have an LH7A404 system by your ouput. If you have LH7A400, just find these sections under that download page)

    I think your problem may be this:

    You are using an LH7A400 NK.bin, but you have a LH7A404 system. Please check.

    Yes, I was trying to load the wrong image, now it is OK. We have another lh7a400 card and we used the wrong one.

    Thank you for your help and sorry for taking your time.
