Thanks Jeff, Your solution worked very well. Knowing where the 1st stage bootloader resides in memory made all the difference. I was able to debug my problem very quickly after that.

Use CodeWarrior to connect to your board, then change your PC to 0x1f0000. You can use hardware breakpoints to check the code. > > The boot_ROM_code.asm file in the SDK test project should be the same code that is stored in the Boot ROM. One difference with the test code project is it is using the PLL (gets initialized before calling the code in boot_ROM_code.asm), so the test code is running much faster than the boot ROM code. If your Host is not waiting for the DSP to read from the Host port prior to writing the next value, then maybe you could be getting an overrun? > > > > > > > > > Hi, > > > >I have written a 2nd stage bootloader for the Host Port Interface using > >polling method.
