Error Message Descriptions

B.1 Error Message Descriptions

The following messages are common to all programmers.

Chip inserted incorrectly, or bad ± Retry, Abort

For the microcontroller programmer, this message refers to the 2732, 2764, 27128, and 27256 devices.

For the gang programmer, this message refers to the master EPROM device.

Re-insert the device or replace the device with a new one.

Current limit exceeded ± Retry, Abort

To program, the device requires more current than can be delivered by the

PDS base unit.

invalid channel function

This is a communication error caused by the firmware receiving an invalid software interrupt code.

Select the retry option. If the problem persists, the software and firmware could be incompatible. Use the latest release of firmware and software.

invalid command ± Retry, Abort

The firmware does not recognize the command sent by the software. The usual cause is that the firmware and software are incompatible.

Use the latest release of firmware and software.

invalid family code ± Retry, Abort

The family code defined in the device table is not supported by the programmer.

Use valid family codes as listed in the configuration parameter table in

Appendix 3.

invalid programming range ± Retry, Abort

The programming range is not valid for the device to be programmed. This is often caused when you try to program a TMS370 device at the register or peripheral file address locations. You cannot program to these locations.

Check whether the defined range overlaps the register or peripheral file locations. Also, make sure you have a valid address range for your device in the configuration parameter table in Appendix 3.
