Compiled program won't run, but HelloWorld.bin works

When downloading the precompiled demo program HelloWorld.bin, after reset, LED1 blinks normally.

File shows up in the file manager as expected -> hardware setup OK

 

However, when using the compiler, if I start with a new project, compiling and download works fine; file shows up in the file manager as expected.

While the unmodified project is supposed to blink LED1, LED1 won't blink after a reset;

Any ideas?

Found the problem!

When checking the file with a binary editor, it wasn't binary. It turned out to be my browser configuration. I was using the FavLoc plugin for saving.It seems it doesn't work properly.

Now, compiled programs run fine! Play time!
