Side loading results in reboot loop

Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi All,

Probably something simple here (hopefully).

I'm playing with the Connect IQ a bit and trying to side load a couple data fields (including the SimpleDataField sample) to my Garmin 920XT.

1. The project runs fine in the Simulator
2. I use the Connect IQ > Build Project for Device which generates the .prg file.
3. I connect the 920XT, copy the .prg file to the GARMIN/APPS directory
4. I disconnect the 920XT.

It enters into a reboot loop that I've only been able to interrupt with a hard reset of the watch. (Power while pressing both Up & Down).

Anyone else seen this behavior?

Any help? Thanks.

Does it run in the simulator when you set the "run config" to be the 920?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, it works perfectly.

You should have been able to interrupt the loop by connecting the device to a computer via USB. Once you had got the device into USB mode, you might have been able to remove the .prg file from the device. If you want to investigate further, you might find a file named ERR_LOG.txt in the root of the devices USB storage space. Post the contents of the file here and someone might be able to help you.

Additionally, what firmware do you have installed on your fr920xt?

Hi All,

Thanks for the feedback and comments. I figured out what was going on and everything is working well now.

I was developing and building the project on a Windows machine but I was transferring the .prg file to my 920XT using a Mac.

This resulted in the 920XT going into the reboot loop.

All good now. Thanks.
