need help with firmware loading

[asumsatlil]

Alright, I've done loop back tests with the usb to serial with pins 2 and 3, 12 and 13 on board works fine, no loop back with daughter board connected and powered up with stim*with and with out jumper*. Getting good voltages on 40 pin socket. Used port finder with no luck, cleaned board. I dont know what else to do.

Tuner studio is closed, settings for com ports and buad rate are correct. 115200, 8, 1.

Which daughter board?
Which firmware?
What model usb to serial lead?

[asumsatlil]

Mega squirt 2 v3, no firmware loaded, usb drivers and cables work, used for other applications

[slow_hemi6]

Have you tried using the firmware loader that comes with the firmware? What is the result?
Have you been to this page? http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms2extra/upgrade.html

[asumsatlil]

Yes I have tried the result is cannot load firm ware with out comms

[slow_hemi6]

When you power up the MS do the 3 led's come on and then go out, or do they stay on?

[asumsatlil]

The less dont light up, I received the 40 pin socket, got 0v on pin 32 too 1, 21, or 31. Pin 32 not grounding

[asumsatlil]

The leds dont light up at all, I removed the 40 pin socket pin 32 too 1, 21, and 31 have 0v, 32 not grounding

[asumsatlil]

Not really sure what else to do.

[asumsatlil]

Alright I have comms!! Pin 12 on socket wasn't connecting to daughter board had to bend slightly for it too work, ridiculous. Now im loading firm ware with msloader_win32 it finishes and says to cycle power I cycle power and try to connect to tunerstudio says It found controller with no firmware, I use port check says I need to load firmware. What do I do wrong?

[jsmcortina]

ms2loader_win32.exe working means that you have successful comms. Good.

Did you remove the boot jumper?
TS and portcheck saying "no firmware loaded" means that the bootloader/monitor is running instead of the firmware. This can happen if the bootjumper is still installed on the MS2 card or with some USB/serial connections.
