Write IDBlock

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade the core module in an OP7200 from an RCM2200 to
an RCM2250 (equiv to OP7200B). I have tried to write a new ID block
to the new core using the program provided by Rabbit (WriteIdBlock.c),
but am given the following errors.

write_idblock.c, version 2.06.

ID block successfully written.

Error -3 when reading ID block.

When I try to read the ID block out, it is blank now.

Any suggestions,
Thanks,

You probably use a DC version which supports ID blocks Version 5. I
think this is from 9.1 or so up (not sure).
The ID block functions are in IDBLOCK.LIB.
This lib is downward compatible. I.e. it can read ID block Version 4
modules. Only it can not write Version 4 blocks.

The writeidblock.c 2.06 you have downloaded from the Rabbit website
only supports Version 4.

I had the same problem. You need to call RabbitSemi and just ask for
the newest and latest writeidblock.c which does support Version 5
IDBlocks.

Problem is, there is no warning when you use 2.06. It just writes a
block with a wrong CRC, which results in the -3 error code.
