Hi Martin,

I'm using IAR tools for the 9261, and can attest that they are quirky,
but once you get them running, they seem to be reliable. I find that
I need to turn on the target power *after* plugging in the USB cable
to the J-Trace pod.

I assume from your message that the project
Options:Debugger:Setup:Driver is set to J-link. The default is
"simulator", and you need to change it. Looks like you've done this
but it's worth mentioning.

The next thing I'd do is look in the Debug Log window, which will
indicate any problems encountered while downloading. This should
provide a hint as to what's going on. Another thing to check - I'm
not familiar with the 7x256, but on the 9261, I need to ensure that
internal RAM is mapped appropriately, and this is accomplished via a
startup macro executed by the IAR IDE during the download process.
You must supply this macro, though IAR provides samples.

Other than that, I'd check that my JTAG connections are working as
expected. Although, if they're not, the download process will
typically fail ungracefully.

Hope this helps,

Mike Sobel
