Hi,

is msba2 broken in master? I get no output at all after flashing the board with hello-world. Not even "kernel_init(): This is RIOT! (Version: 2014.01-1383-gae4a6)" or anything.

Greetings, René

that sounds most probably like a problem with the toolchain. Have you tried wit a self-compiled toolchain from dist/tools/toolchains/ or one of the CodeSourcery Toolchains (Create new page · RIOT-OS/RIOT Wiki · GitHub)?

Cheers, Oleg

No, actually I just deleted my self-compiled toolchain a few days ago, because it always produced link time errors with stm32f4discovery.

With the now-deleted toolchain the applications for msba2 always worked fine. I failed to notice that the changed toolchain might be the problem :-/

I'll compile the toolchain in dist again, and keep you posted if this fixes it.

Cheers, René

Hi René, actually if it still does not work wiith your new toolchain, this sounds as a great opportunity to use git bisect ;-). Just use git bisect start HEAD <last commit you knew was working> and test flashing in every step. More information you find of course at git-bisect(1) and the trusty Pro Git book [1] [2].

Cheers and good luck. Martine
