Make sure you have TI's latest selftest.exe. When I got my DSK last year, I had a similar problem. It turned out that versions <1.20 have a problem with HINT. You can get the latest from the ti web site. Regards, Eric wrote: > No response from Hint Interrupt signal > *** Test Failed **** -- Eric S.

Hi. I encountered the same problem a month ago. However, my DSK is working after I change my host PC from Pentium II to I. Feedback this to TI dsphelp and they still have no reply. Make sure your parallel port is configured to bi-directional. Try different ECP & EPP settings. Hope this will help. Good luck!

I just received my new TMS320C54x DSKplus board from vendor today. I've managed to install my code explorer successfully. However, when I try to run selftest.exe, I got the following error: . . . HPIC write/read successful verifying HPIA Mode..... HPIA Mode write/Read Successful. Verifyig HPI Data (Increment) Mode.... Data (Increment) Mode Passed. Verifying Data (Static) Mode..... Data (Static) Mode Passed. Attempting 8 bit Data I/O..... 8 bit mode is functional. No response from Hint Interrupt signal *** Test Failed **** Furthermore, sometimes when I inserted the power connector into the DC-jack, green LED is not on. I've to plug & unplug it a few times to get the LED light on. When my LED is on & I plug in my earphone into analog out, my LED is off again. Is my board function properly? I need the answer ASAP so that I can inform my vendor. Thanks !
