Hello, I am having trouble connecting to the DK-CH101 developer kit via SonicLink. I was able to successfully flash the MCU firmware, however when I hit "Connect", I get a window with the title "Core error" and text "FW open error". Here is the contents of the console from my session:
SonicLink
Sensor definition found in 'data\CH-101'
1 sensor(s) definition found
Using class 'SmartSonic.Sensor_CHRP101' from C:\TDK-InvenSense\SmartSonic Platform 1.10.1\data\CH-101\Sensor_CHRP101.cs
PIPE 'SMARTSONIC0000305C' started
PIPE 'SMARTSONIC0000305C' waits for connection
OnIncomingConnection 'SMARTSONIC0000305C'
PIPE 'SMARTSONIC0000305C' connected
FW open error: FW reset error
PIPE 'SMARTSONIC0000305C' close
PIPE 'SMARTSONIC0000305C' stopped
FW closed
ERROR: FW open error
Please let me know how I can continue. Thanks.
Try flashing with atmel studio 7 directly. Sonic link has sometimes issue. Take elf file from sonic link installation folder. Then try again connect. Issue should disappear.
That worked. Thanks!

Usually there are 3 issues if the SonicLink does not work
1. Double check that the jumpers and the switch on the sensor board are correct. You can determine what they should be in the User Guide the install comes with.
2. There is an issue in which if you try to use the SonicLink to flash the firmware and you break the connection without it finishing, you will not be able to use the SonicLink to flash the firmware and will need to use ATMEL Studio Programming Tool.
3. The 3rd has to do with permissions or firewalls. Some OS settings will disable the SonicLink and not allow it to run. Usually you can see this in that the application will just quit without warning
Yes previously my OS was also crashing but now its not crashing.
But still I am getting the same "FW open error" issue. I have tried the 3 as below, none of these worked
