The HB is supposed to be in special test mode, see
http://handyboard.com/faq/display.php?key=memmap .

Re your downloading problems, first, see the debug info at
http://handyboard.com/faq/display.php?key=baddl

After the Windows serial debug test there, make sure that the serial
signals are getting from the HB's RJ11 connector to the 68HC11 pins.
Use a scope if necessary.

Then start looking at the memory wires, checking that all are
connected properly to the HC11 and/or 74HC373 and associated cktry
(use schematic).

oads 90% and freezes if i don't use the -bs_ignore option. With the -bs_ignore
option  it says download succesfull and fails to sincronize with the board. Dlm
recognises bootstrap mode corectly, but does the same as dl.

  downloading the pcode during assembly
 
hi, I am during the assembly phase where I am supposed to be able to download the pcode to the handy board. I've placed on my handyboard a UM62256A-10L as RAM a MC47HC132N and a PICVUE 16x2 LCD PVC160203P All the test from the handyboard assembly (...)
