Hi Slacker,
Thanks for the info. That's exactly what was needed for the USB-Blaster and I can now connect. However, I always get a SYSID mismatch and when I bypass the SYSID checking the download works ok but it hangs saying "Leaving target processor paused". Again, the Windows machine works with the same .SOF and I also programmed it into the EPCS thinking I might be able to work around it that way but it still doesn't work. Any hints very welcome.
Next I'll try programming everything into ( SOF into EPCS, program into flash) so I don't need any download and then see if I can break in with the debugger.
