SAM-BA 2.16 - Demo Flash Failing

[manmad]

Hi all,

I have not been able to flash any of the Atmel4SAM demos to my SAMA5D4-xplained board from my Windows 10 PC. I can successfully connect SAM-BA 2.16 to the A5-USB-A port (J11) but when i run the batch file from a downloaded demo the demo doesn't download and the log file shows that the expected argv 0 and argv 2 values are missing. Here is the log file:

-I- Waiting ...
-I- TCL platform : Windows NT
-I- SAM-BA 2.16 on : windows
-I- Retrieved arguments from command line :
-I- argv 0 : -x
-I- argv 1 : demo_linux_nandflash_usb.qml
-I- argv 2 :
-I- Connection -x
-E- Connection -x not found
-E- Connection list : {\USBserial\COM10} COM10 COM1

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

"Atmel for SAM" is a nonsense name. Presumably you mean Linux4SAM.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Older Linux4SAM demos had .tcl scripts for installation, but recent ones have .qml scripts.
You should probably be using SAM-BA 3.x, which accepts .qml script files.
SAM-BA 2.x apparently only handles .tcl script files.

Thanks blue_z, using the right file (.tcl or .qml) with the right version of SAM-BA makes all the difference!

I wonder why the later version of SAM-BA has dispensed with the GUI?
