I'm using serial communication and when starting EDB I get
"COMM ERR: cannot open <device> channel".
|
| Answer: |
This could be caused by some program already having
the device open. Hyperterminal, for instance, or
another copy of EDB using the same device. EDB does
have a rare problem where it looks like a previous
EDB session has been completely shutdown, but in
fact, it is still running in the background in a
catatonic state. You can check for this by doing a
CTRL-ALT-DEL and examining the task list for an
instance of EDB. If one exists, that you think should
not be there, then select it and use the [End Task]
button to delete it.

How does EDB find the various files it uses?
|
| Answer: |
EDB first looks in the current directory, then in the directory
containing the EDB program, and finally it looks down the search path.
Note that it is standard in a MS Windows environment that browsing
to a file changes the current directory to the browsed to directory.
EDB follows these rules, but not when it asks you to browse to your
application source file.
