Developer’s Guide – RIM 950 Wireless Handheld™
When the File Area size is decreased, at least one blank sector must
remain within the area. Back up and pack your data before issuing the
ALLOC command.
Troubleshooting Most error messages are self-explanatory. The following errors deserve
more discussion.
Error: Unable to connect to device
An error occurred trying to initiate communications with the RIM
Wireless Handheld. Make sure that it is connected to the computer
properly.
Error: Insufficient flash or RAM
There is not enough flash or RAM memory remaining to load a new
application. Make sure that you have erased any old applications. If you
have been erasing and loading often, you may have f ragmented your
flash space. In this case, try erasing all applications and start again.
Loading applications as part of the same group will cause them to
occupy flash more efficiently.
Error: Relocation failed
It was not possible to relocate an application. This typically occurs if the
application environment (PAGER950.BIN) is not specified first in a LOAD
command. When loading or replacing the application environment, it
must always be specified first in the LOAD command.
Error: Bad load
This error occurs when a LOAD is interrupted or done improperly. This is
a serious error that requires the RIM Wireless Handheld to be reset and
its operating system reloaded. In order to reset the RIM Wireless
Handheld, insert a small pointed instrument, such as a paper clip, into
the small reset hole on the back of the RIM Wire le ss Handheld. To reload
the operating system, follow the example instruction in the LOAD section
on page 39 of this manual.
