[En-Nut-Discussion] Back in the game

[Rich Wellner]

Ok, I seem to be burning things using uisp.  But nothing ever comes to 
life on the nut.

Specifically I've tried 
http://www.ethernut.de/en/documents/led-blink.html and the httpd sample 
that came with the dev kit.  Both go through "make burn" apparently 
successfully, but neither seems to do anything (i.e. no flashing LED and 
monitoring the dhcp server shows that no request is being made for an IP 
nor does the server respond if I hardcode an IP and remove the #define 
to request an IP via dhcp).

For example:
/dev/ethernut/ethernut-4.2.1/app/httpd$ make burn
uisp -dprog=stk500 -dserial=/dev/ttyS0 -dspeed=115200 -dpart=atmega128 
--erase --upload if=httpserv.hex
Firmware Version: 1.14
Atmel AVR ATmega128 is found.
Firmware Version: 1.14
Uploading: flash

I tried hooking up to the serial port, but no luck.  I suspect I need a 
null modem, but don't have one at the moment.  In any case, given that 
the LED program isn't causing an LED flash, I suspect that the serial 
line wouldn't tell me anything either.

So, I'm looking for advice on how to continue debugging at this point.  
Thanks in advance to any who respond.
