in answer to your questions:
- Does donloading the first hello world binary always work?
---No- I now cannot save anything to the controller 'disk'
- Can you confirm FF is explicitly giving you an error that it can't save?
--Yes - it says'/Volumes/MBED/tester.bin could not be saved because an unknown error occured.
- Is this totally repeatable (i.e. it is not an intermittent fault)?
--Yes.
- After an error downloading from the compiler, can you go back and just copy a binary to the disk ok as worked first? (e.g. copy 1st hello world binary, or from the mac desktop)
-- No, Firefox gives the error but there is a tester.bin file on the disk with a size of zero k.
- Does the problem still occur in safari?
--Unknown - Cant even login with safari for some reason.
- If you do have access to a different computer, can you try on that too?
Yes - possibly tomorrow.
Hardware - macbook core 2 duo 2gig cpu with 2 gig of ram.
What I CAN do, is drag a file(say a small jpeg or text file) onto the 'disk' and it copies ok.
Other notes:
Try to delete any .bin file and I get a 'file in use by other application' warning, but I can actually delete it.
I'm sure this all happened when I tried to download a compiled file and save it over the one on the 'disk'.
I got the 'do you want to replace this file ' standard OS message , clicked 'yes' to overwrite, then go the
error message as described above.
--Workaround---
Save the compiled .bin to the desktop and drag it to the 'disk' and the file is copied ok, and can be run.
Not ideal, but it seems as if Firefox (or your web app.) has got some confusion over file locking (??)
Did the 'hello world' example by copying it to the drive and this worked ok.
However, trying to save from the web compiler with the sample prog in the 'quick start' Firefox says it can't save because of an unknown error. Tried using a different filename - didn't work. Tried replugging the MBED- didn't work.Tried removing all files from the MBED except MBED.htm- didn't work.
Any ideas how to fix this? I'm on OSX 10.57 with Firefox 3.0.10.
Didn't find anything in the FAQ
