When I connect to my board, it shows a connection failure. What do I do?

If you are facing problems connecting to your board, follow these steps:

  1. Start the task manager, and check if you have multiple instances of DE.exe (or even multiple cwide.exe instances). If so, you have to kill the extra instances using the task manager.
  2. If you feel that the Debugger Engine somehow still causing the problem, kill the single remaining DE.exe as well. That saves you to exit the Eclipse IDE and to restart it.

If following the above listed two steps does not help, then it could be that the problem is in the Eclipse IDE. For this close the IDE and restart it. Generally, after following the step 1 and step 2 listed above you do not need this step.
