I just received the my DigiConnect ME JumpStart kit and am trying to execute the getting started tutorial - I have successfully compiled the application, and it gets downloaded to the device using the JTAG interface. But when I try to run the application in debug mode, I got the following error message:

putpkt: write failed: Software caused connection abort.

any clues?
