Doubt regarding boot in 21161

Hello

Im trying to use the flash programmer tool in VisualDSP 4.0 to insert codes (Im beginning by a simple test case) and boot my Ez-kit lite 211161N board from them.

If Ive understood correctly the manual the steps to be given are:
1st Create and compile the code (I load and execute it on PM to verify it works OK)
2nd Change to loader file the type in Project Options menu
3rd Rebuild project
4th Open Flash Programmer and chose the .dxe file

Now when I press the Load Driver bottom the following appears:
There was a problem with one or more required expressions in the driver. Please make sure the following expressions are present and try again:
AFP_BreakReady

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help,

I'm not familiar with VDSP 4, but I'd think you have at least 2 possible
solutions. One is to find a file that has that entry point in its symbol
table. I'd think you would get other errors in that case though.

The other possible solution is to look for a setting in the project
options menu which is about break points. You may be able to remove the
error by guessing at which switch to flip.

try searching for AFP_BreakReady on ADI's web site too, you might find
something that way as well.

For the 4th step, the .dxe you want to load is the 21161 Flash Programmer
driver. Look in the directory where the ADI tools are installed, then
211xx, then Flash Programmer Drivers.

Once that loads, then you want to pick the .ldr file you just created for
your application.

Cheers,

George
