    I keep getting this error message.

    What does it mean?

    Thanks,

    It turns out if I turn off the prototype board for some number of minutes that the problem goes away.

    I'm assuming there was some uninitialized memory (even through a reset) which was causing this problem.

    Hello Marc,

    Could you provide details of the image you built?
    Was it for RAM or FLASH?
    How large was the image?
    What apps did you include in the image?

    Regards,

    Hello Mark,

    That particular error message can be seen if the LogicLoader's TCP/IP stack doesn't have the host machine in it's ARP table when you attempt to download.

    This is a bug with the LogicLoader's networking stack and we will work on fixing it.

    For now, what seems to work well is the following:

    1) Cancel the download in Platform Builder.
    2) Reset the Zoom Starter Kit.
    3) Use the LogicLoader's ifconfig command to obtain an IP address (for instance, `ifconfig sm0 dhcp`).
    4) Ping from your host computer to the starter kit and from your starter kit to your host computer.
    5) Use the `bootme &` command as normal.

    Please let me know if that works for you.

    Regards,

    Thanks. I will give that a shot when I next have the problem.

    On a side note, DHCP still doesn't work for me. I have to manually set the IP address. The DHCP server (Redhat 6) gets the DHCP request, sends the response, but the board never seems to get it.
