SAM-BA not responding with olimex sam7s256

Started by nmkr...@gmail.com August 4, 2010
I am using an Olimex sam7s256 board. I tried to get it up and running in linux (Ubuntu). I was able to successfully install GCC and binutils. I installed SAM-BA for linux from the atmel site. I was able to get the USB port for connection as specified in the SAM-BA manual (.dev/ttyUSB0). But when I try to use the GUI and 'connect' there is no response. I though that there is a connection failure, so when I presses the reset button in the board, I get a message "Failed to initialize FLASH accesses". No matter how long I wait before pressing the reset button, I am not getting any SAM-BA window as given by the SAM-Ba tutorials.
can any one one help me out in this? I did the 'tst' jumper set, reconnect the board for 10 s, disconnect and 'tst' jumper reset, reconnect before opening SAM-BA. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am stuck. It is the same for both SAM-BA 2.9 and 2.8.
