How to stop the adsp 21065l

Started by Bernd Pfaff May 29, 2002
Hi,

I want to download a whole program to the adsp 21065L via a host processor.
The problem is now that I have to stop the adsp during the download and after
that I want to start the program with a softreset.

Does anyone know a possibility to set the adsp to "sleep" during longer host
accesses?

Many thanks in advance.

Bernd

You need to give us a lot more details that this (regarding your
specific hardware setup) for us to possibly help you. Is your 'host'
a PC or do you have a custom host processor on your custom board?

There is an 'idle' instruction in the Sharc that puts it into some
kind of sleep state that you can wake up using an interrupt (read
more about this in the manual, which I don't have in front of me
right now)
