    Hello,
    I am trying to Flash simple standalone application into the boot flash memory but I am running into problem with codewarrior Flash programmer.

    Following steps I did:
    1. At Codewarrior IDE-> Flash Programmer, loaded the settings "M5485EVB_BootFlash.xml" found in Codewarrior's directory chain[Metrowerks\CodeWarrior\E68K_Support\Initialization_Files ]

    2.When I tried to Program the ELF to Flash, I get the message that it is programming but it stays there even after 20-25 minutes !!!.

    3. Here is log of "Flash Programmer"

    *****************************************************

    kiran,

    I can't speak for the CodeWarrier tools as we don't use them in house.

    Freescale provides a flash programming utility for download on their web page. Go to http://www.freescale.com and search their site for the string "M54X5EVBUPDATER." I found it about 2/3 of the way down this page under the title "Programmers":

    http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=M5485EVB&nodeId=018rH3YTLC00M9

    Internally, we use that to program dBUG and the LogicLoader on to the device. It should work for your application as well.

    Hope that helps,
    --mikee
