RVDS 2.1 / RVD 1.7 has an install option which provides a driver for the built-in USB debug interface (also known as 'RVI-ME') on the V/PB926EJ-S board. There is an issue with this version of the driver software, which prevents programming of the NOR Flash on the V/PB board when running the boot monitor under RVD. This patch enables the boot monitor Flash programming commands to work properly, and hence images to be programmed into the NOR Flash memory on the V/PB. Installation instructions: Unzip the patch zip file into your RVDS 2.1 / RVD1.7 installation directory, which will normally be: "C:\Program Files\ARM" Ensure that your ZIP tool recreates the relative path names stored in the zip file. This will create a new tree of subdirectories, which contain the updated files: "C:\Program Files\ARM\RVI-ME\Core\1.1\154\..." Do not worry if your the existing 'RVI-ME' installation folders are from an older build number, for example: build 131. The later build 154 files will be picked up automatically. Re-start RVD, load and run the boot monitor image. You should find that you are now able to perform Flash programming operations. Note that even without the patch, it is possible to program the NOR flash on the V/PB926EJ-S via the USB debug interface, by making use of RVD's built-in Flash programming facility. However, any images programmed in this manner would not be seen by boot monitor's file system.
