CM-5 Boot Loader

2006-08-19T12:55:08+01:00

Hello,

I attempted many times with the Robot Terminal, by pressing # key,
but no boot mode seem.

Sorry, but any data transfer to CM-5 is no possible,
all attempts break out, all LEDs go OFF !

Regards

CM-5 Boot Loader

The boot loader is supposed to be in place always but it seems that under some circumstances (probably a weak power when writing) is possible to overwrite it when performning other writings. This is second time I hear about this problem in this forum so it seems unlikely but possible.

Once the boot loader is broken I doubt it can be replaced because there is no other software within the CM5 that allows you to update the code or even to load a program (which would eventually perform the update).

I am afraid the only solution is send the CM5 to Robotis.
Perhaps Robotis should take note of this problem.

By the way, I understand you have tried to enter boot mode under Robot Terminal, did you ?

Sorry Robo-Tech but what you posted doesn't read too well. Is it possible for you to give some sort of context to your posting please?
