The initialize hardware is for emulators, it does not get used with the ALDL cable.

You need to load the correct ADS file, then use the aldl connect button in the tool bar (two blue arrows). If I'm not mistaken you will need to set the resitor switch on the cable to 10K for your ECM.

OK - good info on what NOT to do.

Any chance of finding out what TO do?
