1. first, check if the board can go into DL mode when it is not attached
to the host computer. power on with STOP held down, and it should go
into DL mode, indicated by both the BATT and PWR LEDs lighting briefly
and then turning off and staying off.
2. Next hook the board up through interface to the PC and try again
(before running any SW on the PC). You should again be able to put
the board in DL mode.
3. Finally, run IC and go to the boot download mode. when it prompts
you, connect the HB and put it in DL mode.
Please reply with info as to whether this process fails before step 1,
2, or 3. YOu only have to hold the Stop buttn until the BATT led goes
off.
