Whats the symptoms of problems with the EC ? From what I remember I had issues getting the latest firmware loaded onto the EC ( and the firmware from the website was pretty old ), but just keep retrying. Its a good idea to get everything plugged into the EC, and only then power up the EC. Now and again, if I am messing around with it, I don't get the power light on the EC, and have to disconnect the supplied power supply for a few minutes and then reconnect.
