Henk,
This morning i plugged in my cypress board and made some screenshots (see screenshots.pdf)
First you can see the device driver an version , the third screen is whith broadcom and the cypress board plugged in
Here i also can't change the revision and i dont have the flash tab.
After that i turned on my VU+ DUO and selected "Flash Explorer", Selected Type Samsung blabla, Pushed Refres , and i got a IO error and the state remaind DISCONNECTED.
I think that when i turned on my vu+ it booted normaly and when it boots normaly it wil disable the JTAG port and i will get the status DISCONNECTED.
So are you absolutely shure that your flash is corrupted or wrongly programmed.
Could you also check if you have output on the serial port , if you plug in a USB stick does the light go on on it
If one of these two above the boot loader works and there is something else wrong

IMPORTAND:
I made a mistake in the cable, in the wrong pin.pdf you can see the mistake
The GND pin was not on the correct pin, but you might have seen that.

Hi Targus
If you plugin the cypress board you shoold see in the device manger from windows xp broadcom test adapter.

What i have done is on my laptop i had Linux so i had to install windows XP after the installation i installed Broadcom Studio 3.
After the installation of broadcom studio 3 i plugged in the cypress board (no jumper ont the board) ,then i had the wizart witch installed the broadcom test adapter (unitialize) driver.
After the wizard i had to restart my laptop. When it was rebooted i dit get a new wizard to install the broad com test adapter again but whitout (unitialize), ather this wizard i could use the cypress board.
