Problems with DNW

Samyukta Ramnath
I wanted to try using the DNW software to send codes to my board in order
to avoid the hectic usage of USB pen drives for the same. So I opened the
dnw.exe file, connected the board to the computer using a serial cable and
a USB cable, booted the board in the NOR mode and then pressed "connect".

It said on the menu bar : [COM1 :115200bps][USB:OK][ADDR:0x30000000]

The speed and the addresses were set according to the manual that I have
for FriendlyARM mini2440. 

After pressing refresh button on the board however, nothing happened. I was
expecting the dnw menu to appear with options like
[1] Download WinCE boot logo
[w] Download WinCE NK.bin

and so on.
What could be the problem here?
Thanks!

Also, I forgot to ask, in case I don't want to use DNW, is it possible to
dump zImage of the kernel on the board via another way, say, USB? I want to
access some pins on the board and in order to do that I had to configure
the kernel for supporting those pins.
Thanks!

Hello Samyukta,

DNW works with only supervivi.

Nowadays, FA ships mini2440(may be others too) with Superboot (Closed
Source boot-loader) on NOR. This new boot-loader enables Mini2440 setup via
SD card and USB (using tool called minitools). "Very Simple and Very Fast."

I am beginner. Correct me if i am wrong.
