shahabamo Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi, I wonder why I am getting this strange error while I am trying to Burn bootloader to my board in designlab? Arduino: 1.0.8 (Windows 8), Board: "Papilio DUO FPGA 512KB - ZPUino" Error while burning bootloader. java.lang.NullPointerException at cc.arduino.packages.uploaders.SerialUploader.burnBootloader(SerialUploader.java:339) at processing.app.Editor$62.run(Editor.java:2907) at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$200(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shahabamo Posted March 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 After watching the Designlab introduction tutorial videos, I did not see any usage for "Burn bootloader"! Is it an option that works only for programming the AVR chip in Papilio DUO board? If so, is there any way to burn the bootloader for those sketches that are not associated with any Hardware project (e.g. blink example) in designlab IDE? (actually a way other than loading the .bit file manually to the FPGA). regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Burn bootloader is no longer used in DesignLab. Use the "Load Circuit" icon instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
