I purchased BCM92073X_LE_TAG4.  I downloaded the WICED smart SDK and was able to download hello_sensor and communicate with the Windows 10 client example provided in the SDK.  Now I am unable to download anything.  I get the following console output:

20:43:59 **** Build of configuration Release for project WICED-Smart-SDK ****

Pressing what I assume is 'reset', a button labeled 'sw3', has no effect on the problem.

In Windows device mgr I see that connecting the TAG4 board creates 2 COM ports, COM3 and COM4 which are set to 9600 baud.  that seems slow...

Not sure how to debug at this point.  My kit did not contain either a cable or a 'getting started' guide that supposedly come with the board.  But it did work fine but now it fails to download.  If anyone has a soft copy of the 'getting started' guide I would appreciate them sending it to me.

I'm using:

huangj, following your note I change my recover command to:

proximity-BCM920737TAG_Q32  download recover UART=COM4

previously I did not have the 'download' parameter.  This worked correctly and the board was recovered.

Thanks!

You may refer to the tag4 board information from the below thread:

Tag 4 Platform Specific Hardware Information

Otherwise, you may have to do a recovery procedure which is detailed in the QSG document.

I found the link last night, but the recovery procedure failed much like the download.

One thing was that the recovery note said to specify 'the' uart. The USB-serial driver creates 2. I tried both but neither recovered the board.

Another thing I found odd: switch 8 was set to the exact opposite of what the startup guide specified.

Hi mroths,

There is a download log in the folder(WICED-Smart-SDK-2.X.X\WICED-Smart-SDK\build\your app name\download. You can see the reason.

You also can add some parameter in your make target.

For example:

hello_sensor-BCM920736TAG_Q32 download BT_DEVICE_ADDRESS=1234567890CD UART=COM7

or

proximity-BCM920737TAG_Q32  download recover UART=COM13

Here is the my successful recovery message:
