I am having trouble finding your technical support contact information. What is the deal?

Anyway. Here are my questions... mainly having to do with PSDSoft Express and a burning API

Question 1 (answered below):

I am getting an error that says ''A preliminary Resource check has been performed. The Following error has been detected. -'fs0' and 'fs1' are overlapping each other''. This occurs when I click done in PSD Soft at the chip select equations screen. If I delete what is in fs0, then I get the same error with fs1 and fs2. As you can see below, nothing is overlapping. What is the problem?

fs0 - E00000 - E0FFFF

fs1 - E10000 - E1FFFF

fs2 - E20000 - E2FFFF

fs3 - E30000 - E3FFFF

fs4 - E40000 - E4FFFF

fs5 - E50000 - E5FFFF

fs6 - E60000 - E6FFFF

fs7 - E70000 - E7FFFF

fs8 - E80000 - E8FFFF

fs9 - E90000 - E9FFFF

fs10 - EA0000 - EAFFFF

fs11 - EB0000 - EBFFFF

fs12 - EC0000 - ECFFFF

fs13 - ED0000 - EDFFFF

fs14 - EE0000 - EEFFFF

fs15 - EF0000 - EFFFFF

Question 2 (still looking for an answer):

Are there managed DLLs I can use in C# in order to execute a burn from within my program? I am using RLINK.

Question 3 (answered below):

I am running the newest PSD Soft Express. For some reason, WinFLINK will burn the JTAG file generated by PSD Soft, but PSD Soft will not burn it.. That is a problem because I would like to upload the flash memory to the computer to test that everything is running correctly. What is wrong there?

Question 4 (still looking for an answer):

Do I need to run C code in order to erase the flash? Can I do it from within PSDSoft Express's PSD-abel HDL? To be more specific, I have two pins (one tied to Vcc with a 22K resisitor and one tied to Gnd with a 22k resistor.) When these pins are jumped together, I would like the Main Flash sector to erase. How would I go about doing this?

I answered question 3. I thought I was running the newest version but apparently not. 8.64 is the newest and now burning works.

Please answer the other two questions if you know the solution.

Thanks

questions 1 and 3 have now been answered.

For anyone wondering, question 1 was solved by naming all of my latched address bits a16 - a23, rather than ad16 - ad23. For some reason, PSDSoft express didn't care that I said it was a latched address, it had to be named in that specific convention in order to recognize it as an address. So, my memory map was a 2-byte address rather than a 3-byte address until I made the changes.

Question 3, was a simpilar more straight forward answer. I was not running the latest version (8.6x), I was actually running 8.5.

So, if anyone has the answer to number 2, please let me know.
