[C.CC USERS] users Digest, Vol 14, Issue 5

Thu Mar 3 23:25:26 GMT 2011

Hi,

Everything seems to be working now. Last night I re-downloaded the firmware
and it seems that fixed the problem. Not sure why it did not work the first
time, and I am fairly certain I had the right platform selected also. Thanks
for all the support, now I can do some experimenting...

Matt had mentioned something about debugging on Occam PI, I had a look at
the paper that was on the site and I understand it to a point. Has any of
this been implemented in the current VM, and if so is there a way to try it?

Thanks,

Paul
