3． FAQ

3.1 FAQ for SinoLink/SinoLinkPro(Keil)

1. Recommendation of Resistance Value for serials connection at IO port used to

Program
SinoLink/SinoLinkPro TDO/SWE TCK TDI TMS
Single-line ≤47Ω / / /

Four line ≤680Ω <1K <1K <1K

Note: If the customer who use the swe interface want to connect a pull-up resistance at SWE port,
the resistance should not be less than 2K, otherwise the tool will be damaged.

2. If download or simulate failed by using the SinoLink/SinoLinkPro to supply power in

the Keil environment, you should check as follow：
1） Make sure connection is correct
2） Make sure the driver is selected
3） Make sure SinoLink/SinoLinkPro has been identified correctly
4） Make sure power-on parameters is set correctly("Auto Scan" is recommend)

3. If download or simulate failed by using the external power in the Keil environment, you
should check as follow:
1） Make sure “External(Target board)” power is selected

2） Make sure sequence of steps is correct

Step1: Connect the device to the PC
Step2: Connect the target board to the device
Step3: Supply external power to the target board

4. Under Keil 8051, the “Sino Wealth 8051 Driver” cannot be found. The following

7 V2.0
 Reference For SinoWealth Tool Selection and FAQ
possibilities need to be checked:
When installing Keil 8051 DLL, choose whether the path is the root directory of Keil
installation.

following possibilities need to be checked:
When installing Keil MDK DLL, choose whether the path is the root directory of Keil
installation.

6. How to check whether SinoLink/SinoLinkPro is identified in the Keil environment?

Open the Keil project, enter the “setting” interface, check whether the "SinoLink/SinoLinkPro"
is shown, which indicate that the device has been correctly identified.

7. Under Keil, Sinolink/SinolinkPro is not recognized, the following possibilities need to

be checked:
1） Whether USB driver is installed

8 V2.0
 Reference For SinoWealth Tool Selection and FAQ
2） Whether the USB driver matches the computer

8. In Win10 system, if you cannot simulate and only can download, then you should do as
follow:
1） open "Run" interface by using “Win+R”, enter "Regedit" in the input box, and click OK to
open the registry
2） Entry the follow path:
HKEY_CURRENT_TSER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlag
s\Layers
3） If“C: Keil\UV4\UV4.exe”is found, you can right-click to delete the item, or only modify the
"data" information(delete the content in the red box), and then restart the Keil software

Note: “C: Keil\UV4\UV4.exe” depends on where your Keil software has be installed. In this
documents, the keil is installed on “C:” disk.

9. SinoLink/SinoLinkPro has been connected, but "No Writer" is displayed on the

ProWriter interface, you should do as follow:

11 V2.0
 Reference For SinoWealth Tool Selection and FAQ

Notes:
1. If high voltage is existed in the application, it is recommended to check "Power Off, Power On
again" to reduce the damage probability of SinoLink/SinoLinkPro when using SinoLink/
SinoLinkPro in the Keil environment.
2. It is not recommended that the application circuit share the simulation port, which may affect
the download and simulation.

selected

12 V2.0
 Reference For SinoWealth Tool Selection and FAQ
4) Power-on parameters is set correctly("Auto Scan" is recommend )
2. If the required IC cannot be selected, you should do as follow:
1) Check "Flash" in the “Chip Selection” interface
2) Update the software to the latest version

3. Recommendation of Resistance Value for serials connection at IO port used to

Program
Pro06C/Pro06B TDO/SWE TCK TDI TMS
Single-line <100Ω / / /
Four line <100Ω <100Ω <100Ω <100Ω

4. Pro06C/Pro06B has been connected, but "No Writer" is displayed on the ProWriter
interface, you should do as follow:
Click “Auto Detect”, and after successful detection, “Pro06C/Pro06B” and firmware version
information will be displayed on the ProWriter interface.

5. When opf or nopf file is loaded, and you want to update the E2Prom data or flash code,
you can do as follow:
Click "Operation - > Setting" in the ProWriter menu, and check "Allow changes to EEPROM
content and operating options" or "Allow changes to Flash operation options".

6. If you can't load data when use the ProWriter software, you can check as follow
Make sure “E2PRom” has been checked.

Click "Help" - > "About..."on the menu, version information will be see as follow:

13 V2.0
 Reference For SinoWealth Tool Selection and FAQ

Notes:
1. 15V power adapter should be used to supply power
2. Update the firmware to the latest version
3. The VDD port of programming channel cannot be connected to the external power
4. The chip selected in the software should be consistent with the IC connected
5. Chips with “8 bytes of code option length” should be programmed with the ProWriter V3.0 and
above
6. "Code Checksum" is shown as 4 bytes in the ProWriter, such as “xxxx-xxxx”,which two bytes
lower is code checksum and two bytes higher is the checksum of option value
7. When connecting IC, the GND of the selected channel should be connected. For example if
you select “Socket 1”, the GND1 of Pro06C/Pro06B should be connected to the GND of the
chip.

Make sure the chip has been connected correctly to the corresponding channel selected.

2. If the required IC cannot be selected, you should do as follow:

1） Check "OTP”, ”Grace OTP” in the “Chip Selection” interface.
2） Update the software to the latest version.

3. Pro03A has been connected, but "No writer" is displayed on the ProWriter interface,
you should do as follow:
Click “Auto Detect”, and after successful detection, “Pro03A”and firmware version information
will be displayed on the ProWriter interface.

Notes:
1. 15V power adapter should be used to supply power
2. Update the firmware to the latest version
3. The chip selected in the software should be consistent with the IC connected
4. The “Whole flash code” is selected by default, and erase operation is not supported
5. When connecting IC, the GND of the selected channel should be connected. For example if
you select “Socket 1”, the GND1 of Pro03A should be connected to the GND of the chip.

3.4 Attentions For Software Update

The software of ProWriter or Keil DLL contains the common library files of devices. Customers
who use customized library files, should be sure to back up the library files customized before
updating the software. After the software update is successful, copy the library files backup to the
corresponding directory to ensure the software can be used normally.
