SP8 Seriel programmer
Appendix two, Common program prompt messages
Failed in initializing the chip
In programming some chips, the programmer gives such a prompt when no chip in socket, bad contact of
the pins, chip placed in wrong direction or built-in problem with the chip.
When working current exceeds limit, please check whether type or placement of the chip is wrong.
SSP8 programmers have over-current detection system. When the detected current exceeds the limit,
the programmer gives a message of error.
Common reasons for this error are:
Chip placed in wrong direction
Built-in problem with the chip
If the chip uses an adapter, the latter might be in short circuit, or there might be something wrong
with its circuit.
Chip types don't match-- the type of chip chosen by the software is different from that of chip put in
socket
Power conflict in ISP, the programmer has detected voltage in target board
In ISP program mode, if the current setting is "Programmer supplies to the target board", and the board
has current, the programmer presents a message of current conflict.
Solution: Change the operation option, supply mode changed to target board supply, or close the
self-supplied current in the board, and let the programmer supply to the board.
The programmer hasn't detected voltage in the target board
In ISP program mode, if the current setting is "Self-supply by target board", but the board has not started
supply, the programmer presents a message of error.
Solution: Open the target board's current, or change operation option: supply mode changed to Supply
by the Programmer.
Warning: the ignored part exceeds the buffer's extent
In loading a file, if data amount exceeds the chip's capacity, it presents such a prompt.
For HEX files, there is no direct relation between file size and data amount. Therefore, it might be that file
size is only 1K, but data size exceeds this extent.
