The timer counter does not stop when the core enters debug mode between
steps, it continues counting. There is no way to step through code and
watch the counter increment using hardware. The simulator works
slightly different in this regard as the peripherals do not operate
between steps since there is no core clock. This makes software much
easier to simulate before running it on the hardware. Everything should
work fine if you just let the DSP run rather than trying to step
through it. The OnCE port does not allow for real time debugging...

If you are stepping through your program with the debugger, the
seemingly random values are due to the fact that the timer keeps
running in the background Real-time debugging is not possible with
peripherals running but are not being serviced regularly by their
polling or ISR's.
Does your code run properly if you let the DSP go rather than stepping
through your code?

For some reason, I am having some problems configuring the timer 0 on
the Motorola DSP56303 chipset.
I have configured the TLR0, TCPR0, TCSR0 (mode 0, TRM enabled and
TIO0 as an output)... when i enable the timer however (by setting the
TE bit to 1), the TCR0 register does not go back to 0. On top of
that, the timer doesn't even increment by 1 !!! It takes a
(seemingly) random value every time a step is taken in the program.
Does anybody see any reason why it would do this ?
Also... my program works fine with the simulator (sim56300). It just
doesn't work on the development board (DSP56303EVM).
