At first I tried jumpering VPUMP and VJTAG at my adapter cable, but it kept complaining about lack of VJTAG. Couldn't tell if the FlashPro5 was providing 3.3V with the multimeter, so I fell back to jumpering R10 and R11, after which it programmed successfully. I did get the message about using the external VPUMP instead of the FlashPro5 provided one, but that was safe to ignore.

EDIT: I also needed a variant of the project from Hans, known as a "chain mode project". Apparently FlashProExpress doesn't handle a non-chain mode project.

Sounds like your cable is missing a connection between pin 7 on the programmer (VPUMP) to pin 5 on the FRAM71 (VJTAG).

I don't think FlashProExpress will work with a single device. FlashProExpress is intended to be used for multiple, daisy-chained (chain-mode) devices. Since the FlashPro5 can only provide VPUMP for one device, the software might not work in this configuration.

If you remove R10 the warning about external VPUMP will go away as the FlashPro5 is providing VPUMP. Another way is to disable VPUMP in the FlashPro Programmer Settings.
