Hi sandeep,
this is unfortunate.
I am currently maintaining the Led Tile Software over at github: https://github.com/xcore/sw_led_tile_controller
Regarding to your problem the code is still unchanged.
First of all: Where did you find the LED Matrix to drive with the XC-3 kit. I am still looking for an compatible Matrix, but did not find any. I am currently rewrituing the software to drive a different matrix (yes, that is true, you have to rewrite parts of the software to use a different pinout - but this will change).
From my knowledge (which can be wrong) the software on the XC-3 kit is the same as in the source repository. So the behaviour should be the same.
Here are some things you can try:
a) is the correct driver configured?
b) is the logo rendered in file ledbuffer.xc (guarded by #elif defined LOGO)
Perhaps it helps you

ok now you have tested:
- writing it to flash
- updating it over TFTP
The last thing you can try is to let it run as XMOS Application (the it is loaded via JTAG). I assume that it will not work correct either.
So I suspect that the program itself is not working AND different from the version in the flash memory when the XC-3 was shipped.
So which version of the XC-3 software are you running? 10.4 or from the github repository?

OK, then you are on your own.sandeepmalladi wrote:I am using the 10.4 software
Not really!
I always thought the 10.4 software worked out of the box!
Can you switch to the github version on https://github.com/xcore/sw_led_tile_co ... aintenance ?
It would be best if you fork it into a private repository as described in the github help page http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/ and check that out
I think it is best to work on the version_1.0_maintenance branch since there should go all the bugfixes for the former 10.4 version
Have you worked with git before?
I think the next logical step is to debug the code to see where it goes wrong and what.
