A little help please.

I did cut the SSC board. I wonder if I did cut deep enough. I thought I cut it deep. I could use a dremel.

Just to make sure on the programming send me the place to go to to get the correct firmwares and SSC UTILITY program. All the programs I have used. Just to make sure I have all the new updated programming.

Being limited on soldering. I am very picky. If any thing I could of over heat the soldering points.

Be very precise about the steps I should take. Do  not leave any thing out.

I will go over the step one by one. I have been over the board about 20 times already.

Into the 4 port passive hub.
I read that that there are update firmware ver for the SSC and SSC utility.
Maybe I don't have the right ones.

Mort let's do one thing at a time here. Where does the Cat5 wire that goes into the silver plug on you Etd come from? You said that the light on the left was on solid. It should not be solid on.

[sittinguphigh]

Is there a way to test each part itself.
I have a express that works. I could test the etherdongle that way.
Then a least I would know if the problem is with the etherdongle.

[sittinguphigh]

The cat5e goes from the computer to the silver input on the etherdongle.

[rdebolt]

So there is nothing between the computer and the Etd Correct? Ok most likely you will need what is called a cross over cat5 cable.

[sittinguphigh]

Correct. Just the cat5e cable between the computer and the etherdongle.

[sittinguphigh]

To bad we didn't have a way to test each piece of hardware on it's own.
How about you send me all the software I need in a file. No mistakes there.

In post number 109 it looks like the etherdongle firmware did not take. You shouldn't see all those FFFF's. Read that chip again and see if you see something else in that big window. Remember the power checkbox.

I will reprogram the etherdongle and post the results.

Good catch...You are correct.

[sittinguphigh]

Her is all the results of programming the etherdongle.
The etherdongle2 hex program will not let me open it up.
Don't know if that's a big deal?

[sittinguphigh]

Have to take of the horses be back.

[keitha43]

Are you doing "file" "import" and then choosing the etherdongle hex file ? Also make sure the target power box on is checked before writing. All those FFFF's should change to other values or you have an etherdongle problem.

I go to file and click and click again on import hex.
That's when some thing funny happens. It goes to a blank file.
I have to find the file and click on it.
Maybe it's not picking it up at all.

Horses needs attending. Be back.

After opening the Pickit 3 programmer program, select the device you want to work with (correctly selected in your screenshot, PIC32MX795F512L).
On the top left, select 'file' and 'import hex' in the submenu.
Navigate to your download directory, where the EtherDongle2.hex file is, and select that file. Import it.
The hexadecimal values in the big window underneath the commands should change and the first line should read:
1D000000   0F403CBB   00000000   0F404333   00000000

Make sure you apply power to the chip when you program it.
Don't try to write it if you cannot get past the import. If you only see FFFFFFFF values, the import didn't work.
