Difficulty Uploading demo_gpio to E300

I’m having some trouble with uploading the demo_gpio program to the Arty board.

I run this command make upload PROGRAM=demo_gpio BOARD=freedom-e300-arty:

This is the output:
work/build/openocd/prefix/bin/openocd -f bsp/env/freedom-e300-arty/openocd.cfg &

I’ve gone through this other issue on the forum and I’ve changed my openocd.cfg file accordingly but this still has not fixed the problem. They suggest killing other openocd process but I can’t find it in the list of active processes on my machine. One relevant detail is that I am building the MCS file from scratch in the freedom repository. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Resolved.

Great!

How did you fix it?

I didn’t post the solution because it’s kind of embarrassing. I just restarted my machine.

Ok. So it seems there really was another OpenOCD (or maybe something else) with the device open.

Assuming you’re using Linux (it looks like it) you can use fuser to find out which process has a file open.
