All, hi 

I design a relatively simple board consisting of a TMS320VC5416, a Flash memory, and a FPGA.

I use the Flash to place my code.

To program the flash, I declare it external in data space (DROM = 0). I connect the data and
address buses directly from DSP to the Flash memory. Further, I make OE, WE, and CE signals of
the Flash using MSTRB#, DS# and R/W# signals of DSP.

The MSTRB#, DS# and R/W# signals of DSP active, however, I don't see any change on data and
address buses of DSP.
I also write a simple program to examine I/O signals of DSP. Strangle not only address and data
bus are inactive, But IS# and IOSTRB# are also inactive.

I will be thankful if state your opinions.

Thanks,
-Farhad

Its been a bit since I touched a DSP, but I think you also need to have
the MP/MC line pulled the correct direction in order to boot from the
flash.

You might take a look at the bootloader app note for the C54XX family,
it covers all the different boot sources and how to make sure the
correct one is selected.

Hi again
   
  Brain Thanks for your reply.
   
  About your point about MP/MC#. 
My board is correctly starting up. I am also running a relatively complex program and debugging
it through emulator. Therefore, I think at this time setting of MP/MC# pin is not problem (It
is set to zero.)
Moreover, at this time at first I want to program the flash, so define it in data space between
0x8000 and 0xFFFF.
   
  I will be thankful if state your opinion.
   
  Best Regards,
- Farhad
