Post Unable to download successfully compiled program
I'm finding that in 3.02, some programs I'm moving forward from 2.26 compile up and carry over just fine, while others though they continue to compile just fine as they did in 2.26 (zero errors, though some warnings) now refuse to download to the NXT, and so I can't run them: when I hit F5, the 'download progress' flashes instantaneously on the screen, then the debugger is not entered. When I go look at the File Management utility, the program is not there. The problem has been observed on at least two RobotC 3.0 installations.

Has anyone else observed this problem?

In 2.26, there was a View / Preferences... option on the Compiler tab called "Incremental Download" which we always turned off. That option seems to be removed from 3.0. Might this be related? Is there a registry setting that can be used in its place to see if that affects the situation?

FWIW: I still have 2.26 installed on the same machine on which I have installed 3.0. Is this a supported configuration?

Update: completely uninstalled 2.26, 3.0, and the NXT drivers. Rebooted. Reinstalled 3.0. Problem persists.

Problem verified on a second RobotC computer (this time 64 bit instead of 32 bit).

Progress in diagnostics: 'managed to get some message logs:

I deleted all files in the File Mangement utility. Then defrag'd the file system. Free space listed is 115.2K. Yet hitting F5 to download and debug yields the following error (note the 'no linear space'). It's worth noting that the programs that continue to work are smaller than those that fail; I've attached the compiler stats for one that fails below.

Here are the compiler stats:

I guess the big question is: with 121632 bytes of free flash, why can't we find ~48K of linear space to store the bytecodes?

You need to hit the "defrag" button in the File Management Utility.

After that it should work fine :)

Post Re: Unable to download successfully compiled program
Thanks Xander. Unfortunately that doesn't solve the problem. Which, indeed, is a mystery.

Update: I wrote a little c# program to open a USB connection to the NXT, send it a Delete User Flash command (0xA0), then do a binary search of Open Write Linear commands (0x89) with different file byte count lengths to see what the largest linear file I could open is.

The result is 7840 (==0x1EA0), which is much smaller than the programs we were running last season. FWIW, it's 96 bytes shy of being 31 sectors worth in the NXT file system.

Moreover, if I do a new flash of the firmware, and don't delete any files by just do the binary search, I get the same result, the same maximum size.

Can you do me a favour and mail the program? I'd love to see if I can reproduce it here.

We have received the problematic programs and are currently investigating the problem.

Thanks for reporting the issue!

This one had me stumped, especially the contiguous space error. Quite misleading!

I have been looking at this most of the evening. I have the very large file downloading now. I'm trying to clean up the changes so that it can get into the next release. However, there are many issues with the content of this program that I'll cover in another post.

Still waiting for your discussion on the content of the program. :)

Post Re: Unable to download successfully compiled program
We are having the same exact problem. Code compiles ok without warnings or errors, but does not download to the NXT. Worked ok until we added in drive task code w/joystick header--code that has worked before. We removed most of the programs from the NXT as well as defrag'ed it, but that does not appear to help. We could really use some help here because we are completely baffled! Have attached our code.

Fixed! There is a new release (v2.2) of the HTMUX drivers that we installed and now all is well :-)

You can always download the latest version of my driver suite from the original source: [LINK].

Keep an eye on my blog for when I release a new version of the suite. Keep in mind that I cannot support any other version other than the latest one.
