Hello,
I have a v1.1p production board, and I am having problems getting started. I am running Arch Linux, so some things may be different from a Debian base. I have not yet tried interfacing the board from a Ubuntu/Debian workstation.
I have succesfully compiled SIMtrace and its dependencies. The problem is at no point have I gotten a connection to the board. dmesg shows nothing and lsusb never shows the device. I have libusb configured on this system and programmed other avr devices.
I tried to access the board with SAM-BA by following the firmware page. I only see the red LED faintly light when I'm jumping VCC to test, but nothing once I reconnect USB. I am right to assume that with a newly acquired board, I have to flash it with the firmware?
Do you have any clues to help me talk to the SIMTrace board? I haven't found much explanation of bootloader and reset buttons on the wiki... Should I simply try with and Ubuntu/Debian workstation?
Thanks, Mat
