I bought a development board -STM3210C-SK/RAIS [Development Boards & Kits - ARM Raisonance]. I intalled the Ride 7 from the CD in the package, set up and confirmed all jumpers then opened an example - QuickStart_STM32F After I clicked the Project -> Build Project command, there is an error saying that ''Target power failure: Measured 0.000000V.

There is a quick start manual.

The error:

In Debug options window, if I clicked

“Connect to Debugger�?, then:

0690X00000604ZTQAY.jpg

I assume that the board has already connected with my computer.

This is my board:

I searched in google and found two websites talking about such error but their boards are not exactly same as my board.

It seems something goes wrong on my board. Does anyone have the same problem? Thank you very much.

    Raisonance has a forum as well, but they are not mentioned often here.

    Might be worth to register there.

    But to your issue - might it be that the target is really not powered ?

    Not sure if the Raisonance debug pod can power a target, but surely not such a large one as depicted.

    Check the dev board manual for power supply options, and supply it externally.

    Thank you very much. Actually there is another cable to connect to the daughter board from computer. I didn't connect it in the picture. But it's no help. No matter it is connected or not, there is always such error. I changed to a new cable but it doesn't work. I thought about supplying it externally but I couldn't find a manual in anywhere (CD or paper or website). I'm now thinking to return the board and get money back. Thanks anyway.

    I'm pretty sure there are status LEDs on this board, at least for 'power on'.

    And there might jumpers to set, to select a power supply option.

    If ther is no LED at all on, it is suspicious.

    In your place, I would contact Raisonance.

    I know of other companies that hide datasheets and user manuals for their stuff from free access, i.e. one needs a login.

    I bought a development board - STM3210C-SK/RAIS [Development Boards & Kits - ARM

    Raisonance

    ].

    So, if it's a Raisonance board - you should be contacting Raisonance for support!

    Thank you very much about the information. I posted my question on Raisonance forum 5 days ago but no one answered. I sent an email to its support email box. Hope it's working. Thanks anyway.

    I haven't used Raisonance for years (in fact, have barely even heard them mentioned) - but their support certainly used to be good ...

    EDIT

    I justtook a look at the 'ARM' section of their website; the picture seems to prominently feature your board:

    http://www.raisonance.com/tzr/scripts/resizer.php?filename=T004/img1/7f/df/4sc72i7ridjx&mime=image%2Fpng&&originalname=tool.png

    So I guess it must be a current product.

    So you should be able to expect good support.
