    if your using usb to serial converter try a different port, also you could try a flash erase first then try reflashing

    for the sake of it could you download the latest pli jade image off the pli images site and try to flash it. Message would seem to indicate faulty image

    sekondi,did you try change the com port by right clicking on my computer then click on device manager,click on the little box beside ports,then right click on communictaions port then click properties.[another window opens]click on port settings,then click advanced[another window opens]at the bottom of this window you will see a small box it says com port number,click on this and you will see your ports.if it says there is one in use click on it and press ok.another window will open ignore what it says and press ok..exit out and go back to dreamup and try again.
