Just an observation I thought would be useful to share with the community. I've been playing with the DSP56F827EVM for a couple of days now and I have noticed that when I am running a program out of flash that the board seemed kind of flaky. I traced the problem down to the PC parallel port JTAG program connector being susceptible to noise. Since the inputs to the 74244 are just floating when I bushed my finger against the connector shield it was causing the board to go into reset. If I install the jumper to put the 74244 into tri-state mode the problem goes away and the board seems to operate very reliably. Jacob |
