Anyone ever used the CAN-DEMOBOARD1 from Atmel?
I Just got it along with two of the T89C51CC01's which came along
with the kit and I am having a bit of trouble.

First off I am not able to bring up the bootloader when connecting
to the board via RS232. I'm actually not able to bring up anything.

I have set the pins and everything according to the DEMOBOARD User
Guide (http://atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc4119.pdf)
to no avail. I do get a power light and the led's light up but no
output to the terminal.

I have put the T89C51CC01 into the PLCC44 socket on the board but
also tried it without. On a side note, how do you get the micro out
of the PLCC44 socket or any socket for that matter?

I have also tried using the FLIP software but it gives me a timeout
error while synching.

As of now I have not connected the CAN extension board but according
to the DEMOBOARD documentation it should be able to work without it.

I dunno, I am new to this stuff and am probably missing something
obvious but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Chris
