I have tried something else: I connect a sensor mote onto a mib520-board to the computer, type in my command and get the mentioned error. Then, I disconnect the board and repeat the command once or twice. I reconnect the device and repeat the command again. After one or two times, the firmware is recognized and I get the programm upload.
It also seems, that some usb ports works better than others. I try to look for usbhubs or an alternative machine and will continue to test and post my results. Has anybody an explanation for this yet? Best regards, Isa ------------------- > Yes, I went and looked. The low port # is the programmer, > high # is for MOTECOM.
