Error Message: Device still locked
Causes: This message can appear in On-Board programming interface when target
MCU secured.
Solutions: Check accuracy of device type selected; take attention on MCU maskset.
Try to reconnect to target MCU.
Error Message: Device can't be unsecured
Causes: This message can appear in In-Circuit programming interface when MCU
EEPROM/FLASH erased (all data equal to $FF) and accordingly device
still secured.
Solutions: Check voltage on VCC pins. Try to reconnect to target MCU.
Error Message: Voltage on VFP pin is below normal programming voltage level
Causes: This message can appear when no or low voltage applied to VFP pin.
Solutions: Apply specified by Motorola voltage to VFP pin.
Error Message: On-Board Programming Interface not supported for the Device
Causes: This message can appear when wrong Device selected.
Solutions: Select correct device type; take attention on MCU maskset.
Error Message: External power supply must be disconnected from BDM ICP connector
Causes: This message can appear in On-Board programming interface when
external voltage applied to BDM ICP connector (see Figure 1).
Solutions: Disconnect cable from BDM ICP connector.
Error Message: Vreg Overcurrent Protection
Causes: This message can appear when current consumption from built-in power
supply grater than 500 mA.
Solutions: Check target MCU power pins on short circuit.
Error Message: Vreg Output Voltage out of range
CYPRESS IIC BUS Busy
CYPRESS IIC Protocol Failed
CYPRESS Frequency out of range
Wrong Subroutine call
Causes: These messages can appear when fatal problems with HC912-Programmer
hardware accrued.
Solutions: Contact ETL technical support.
