G400HDR/G400-D I cannot install firmware

I’m still ‘dead in the water’ with my G400.

Neither MFDeploy or FEZ Config work. Both keep telling me there is no G400 device when trying to connect to TinyBooter.

That said, I do have a question…

I tried using the Serial Port to update the firmware as stated in subject
https://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/54/firmware-update-emx

Yes, I realize the G400 is not a EMX but I had to try something!

I jumper PA11 to ground, power on, remove jumper as needed to install G400-TinyCLR-Bootloader. I receive a Serial Port and connect Tera Term. When typing anything in Tera Term I receive no response. Nothing is echoed back when sending b. Or anything else.

My question is: Should I be able to receive a response from the G400 as with EMX? Or better yet, install the firmware using the method shown for EMX?

Thanks… Sure hope I don’t have to throw my G400 in the recycle bin!

When you run ProgramG400 and the COMx from the command prompt does a log file popup in another windows?
What is the text at the end of the log file?

Sorry don’t have a EMX, so can’t answer that part of your question.

Here is a sample of what I have seen:

About the EMX. I was only referencing the terminal usage used by EMX.
