Problems running sam-ba_cdc (2.10) under Win7 64bit

Hi guys,

please help me out here.

I have searched up and down and, for the life of me, can't find anyway to run SAM-BA under Win 7 64bit.

From all I've read, I should be able to select "COM1", which is the port the Window's CDC driver is assign to my SAM7S256-EK board when I connect it, select the board from the list provided and be able to reflash it.

However, I am getting the msg "Failed to open connection" no matter what I do.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated.
Thanks.

Seems to be a Window problem, isnt it ?

Do you succeed to connect to your serial port using a simple Terminal
program ?

It's my understanding that SAM-BA isn't guaranteed to work with Win7 at all,
although I have heard reports that it does. The 64-bit version may be
different, however.

Best regards,

Hi Frog.

Both on Atmel's website where I downloaded SAM-BA 2.10 from and in the ReleaseNotes.txt file they say that it runs on Windows 7 64-bit.

Here's what's in the release notes:
7 Validation
-----------------

This release was built and validated against using the following components:
- Automated scripts which load different file size at different memory locations
- Corner cases scripts done to check a particular points in the algorithms
- Validation sequence description for all tests which can not be scripted
- All demo programming scripts is tested on the different boards

This release was installed and tested on following platforms:
- samba Windows version was tested on Windows XP and samba cdc was tested Vista, win7 (32bit and 64bit)
- samba Linux version has been tested on Fedra Linux(fc8)
So, I have some hope that someone somewhere knows how to make it work there.

Anyone else would like to shed some light on this? Atmel, are you listening?

Thanks guys.

Eric,

it could be a Windows problem... Do you know of any problem between SAM-BA 2.10 and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit?

I'd appreciate any insight. Yes, I was able to use TeraTerm to connect on that same port.

Thanks.
