I am using a Cobra II (G120 SoM), a T43 Display and an RS232 Module and everything worked fine until something happened during the deployment of a quite simple program.
Just initializing COM port, sending a string and displaying the responses.
Then I added a test for the touch panel. Just printing the coordinates of the touch.
While deploying again, there was a message in VS2012 like “Updating display settings”.
Finally the program started to run and the SoM kept resetting continuously. There was no way to stop it. I tried to erase the application using FEZ_config_v013.exe which was quite difficult since the device was recognized only for few seconds until the next reset.
The message “Application erased successfully” appeared.
Now, the device is not recognized anymore by the PC. The debug LED is continuously on and the RS232 port outputs (@ 115200Baud) stuff like:
EXCEPTION 0x03:
cpsr=0x1000ff10
pc =0xa0310000
lr =0xf03fff58
sp =0x10000900
r00 =0x00000001
r01 =0x00000001
r02 =0x00000001
r03 =0x00001000
r04 =0xaff2ff58
r05 =0xf03fff58
r06 =0xa0310000
r07 =0x1000ff10
r08 =0xa031ff58
r09 =0xa031ff58
r10 =0xa0123aac
r11 =0x00000080
r12 =0xaff2ff58
What can I do to recover it? Reset button does not help and the device is not recognized by the PC.
