Hi guys,

i have a turbo lite 2 and turbo programmer 2. My OS is Suse 11.0 32 bit. I am having following problem : Turbo Programmer can't reach application mode when i execute prog_apps or sim_dump or any other program.

root bin-linux-ia32>./prog_apps -v
Initializing device
Device initialized
Entering Application Mode
<hangs at this point>

I used to execute these commands in the past without a problem. Recently i tried to upload pager.trb by below command:
> ./prog_apps -u pager.trb

it was uploading nicely at first. but after a while it hanged so i stopped the command using ctrl+c. After that day it never reached application mode. I believe that stopping in the middle of uploading somehow corrupted turbo programmer. What can i do about this problem?

Any comment is appreciated.. feel free to ask if more info on problem in needed for a solution

prog_apps is for managing apps/modules in TP2 itself, not in connected Turbo/Waver device - for this there is "cemu". So you uploaded pager into TP2.

You may do "prog_apps -i" to init TP2 and then go to modules dir and uipload modules "prog_apps -u sim.trb" etc.

If TP2 was not even responding to this reflash it's kernel. Unplug USB, change jumper close to USB connector, plug USB, "prog_update_fw firmware/tprog_kernel-3.1.1.bin", unplug USB, change jumper, plug USB, upload modules.

I solved the problem. I am writing step by step what i did in the hope that it might help someone else in the future.

I tried updating kernel in a windows machine. its response was

Initializing device
Device initialized
Programmer loading procedure has started
Uploading programmer firmware
Page 14/(0- 479)

I searched the forum and found that someone else also had the same problem ( http://www.bladox.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=112) so i installed ftdi drivers and tried again but it gave the same response.

I tried updating kernel in linux again (for the millionth time..) but this time it worked Very Happy

I think even though i couldn't update kernel in windows, it somehow reseted tp2

I beleive that FTDI have a windows application on their site that will clear the driver cache's for usb-to-serial. This might help, at least if you are having this issue on windows.
