Failing to Erase RA6M1

Hello!

I currently face a problem, in which I'm unable to flash my EK-RA6M1. Im currently trying to develop a USBFS-interface but cant really test my code, since flashing is not possible. What I try to do is erasing my Device via the j-Link Commander V7.94. When using the Erase command i get the following Error:

  • Hello,

    I have a similar issue on my MCK-RA6T2. I used a sample project "Sensorless vector control for dual permanent magnetic synchronous motor (For MCK/MCB, RA Family)" as base for my code and then made some adjustments trying to implement an UART-Interface, using the default debug-configuration for the project. After a while, i encountered the same problem as in post "Failed to erase sectors 0 @ address 0x00000000 ((erase error)) of RA6M1 - Forum - RA MCU - Renesas Engineering Community". I followed the steps with the J-Link Commander V7.94 like Dansen and got the following error:
