nice one

soft jtag connects to the ambit 200 via max232 but is unable to write the bootloader to flash! and needs to reboot.

yes i have a BTC tsop chip too!

how do i get around this with the blackcat?

do i need to solder a 10 pin header to the pcb and use schwarze katze software to program the board?

cheers
