XProg-m V5.55 Verify Errors

**nogger1** · 24th March, 2016, 07:50 PM

HI, i bought a Chinese clone a few weeks ago & it's worked fine until yesterday. I tried to erase/write & read a 9S12 MCU from a BMW footwell module & it looked like all was ok until it started to fail on verify. Every verify fails in different addresses, completely random. This was with the BDM board attached which i always have to use with this particular chip.

Next i tried to do the same with a different 9S12 MCU which doesn't require the BDM adaptor & exactly the same error so it is the XProg itself that is at fault.

Anyone have any ideas why this should suddenly happen (yes i know its cheap Chinese copy but it was working fine last time). Are there any changes i can make or is it destined for the rubbish bin ?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply Mario3, i understand what you are saying about 5.5.5 but it has been stable on these particular processors from the FRM modules since i bought it a couple of months ago. It used to verify first time every time so i don't quite understand what has changed. Does the Atmega corrupt ? in which case why does it write at least 90% ok, wouldn't it be more likely to be a hardware issue ?

Also , my XProg has a dongle, if i downgrade will i still need to use the dongle & will i lose all the 'Authorisations' that i have ?

Thanks

No you wont lose authorisations, and the versions with dongle are known to make problems

No. It just stops working the same with older versions 5.3 adn 5.4.5.... reflash it to 5.5.1 and it will be fine. It can be a hardware issue too but isr unlikely

It is not hardware. is software. install new 555 clean xp. install c: \ program files

I also had problems

**tehnosoftex** · 26th March, 2016, 01:18 PM

Is definitely a software problem, something is changed it xprog box files. I have the same problem and I rewrite all the files of xprogbox software and problem is gone. After a while the problem reappear whit the same solution. I don't have it in c: \ program files , may be that's why is happening.

From internet Download 5.50 versions and the software run OK and recognize device,but tried read one 95160 and the software show one banner " Need update device ".

Software re-reinstall on PC didn't work so now looking at flashing the Atmega (although i am worried aboutl osing my authorisations)

One more question, when flashing the Atmega on the XProg box do i need to remove the chip or lift any pins ? (please say no

)

CORRECTION: I just did another complete software re-install & it only blinking works doesn't it.
I uninstalled Adobe Reader, went through the registry & deleted all references to Xprog, deleted ALL files previously installed from the RAR file & i ran remove.bat from the PACTH directory. Extracted all files & foldersagain from the RAR archive into the Program Files directory & re-installed & it has read & verified every time, fantastic !!
Thanks to all who replied with suggestions.

UPDATE: spoke tooo soon, still getting verify errors when i write a file, it seems to verify ok after an erase so looks like i will have to reflash the Atmega.
