Update hangs during "Jumping to Kernel xxxxx"

Hi all,

I'm trying to update a NetDCUA5 in order to change the OS that is installed on it.

I'm trying to download the WinCE 7 using the file XIPVYB_C7E_140915.bin. Everything works as expected except for the last part when the update process tries to jump to the kernel... The same happens when I try and install another image, such as a WinCE 2013 one.

My update hangs there and I can't do anything else. I've been waiting for more than 15 minutes without much success... Is there a problem with my EBoot or NBoot or something related to this ?

Thank you for your answer. The card I'm trying to switch the OS was a WCE 2013 before. Maybe that will help you understand the situation here.

Anyway, during the boot, I've pressed 's' and here is the result :

F&S Nand Loader VN05 built Sep 12 2013 12:14:43
NetDCUA5 Rev. 1.10
256MB RAM (1 chip) 128MB FLASH 500MHz 512kB L2
booted primary image from page 4

I've pressed 'B' for bad blocks and it tells me 'none'.

Is it up-to-date ? For practice purpose, I tried to follow the following document : https://www.fs-net.de/assets/download/bin/FSVYBRID/WinCE/FSVYBRID WInCE Update instructions.pdf

I've downloaded your DCUTerm but, even tho I've configured it like yours, I'm getting error when powering On the card and pressing s. Looks like I can't communicate with the card with DCUTerm. Alternatively, I'm using HyperTerminal without troubles.

Of course, using HyperTerminal does not allow me to send a new NBoot file. Is the trouble I'm having related to the version of Windows I have ? Is there a special version of DCUTerm for Windows 7 64 Bits ?

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I'm on a laptop and using the docking station to have a proper serial port plug.

I actually get error while trying to write on the serial communication.

I'll give Tera Term a try...

I tried again with DCUTerm and after many attempts, one of them succeeded. I was able to chose 'd' under the following menu :

Please select action
'd' -> Serial download of bootloader
'E' -> Erase flash
'B' -> Show bad blocks
Use NetDCUUsbLoader for USB download

I selected my EBoot, It performed well.

I rebooted my card and It asked for my Mac Address... I followed your documentation and entered 000551 + my barcode and it went well. I chose DE to use EShell, selected my NetDCU card, chose my WinCE7 image, the installation went further away than the last one... I'm stuck here now :

Any idea what I did wrong ?

Edit : The card looks installed (I can TELNET it, I can go into the registry, I can connect on it with FTP) but this error with COM1 is very strange... I don't remember having this kind of message after updating my other NetDCUA5. Is there something strange here or not ? Since our application uses COM ports, I'll need to make sure my installation is correct... Is there a tool I can use to check that ?

Okay, so everything is allright. Thank you for your answer.
