EZ Lite 21065l EPROM Problem

Started by vahid_meghdadi July 8, 2003
Hi,

I use Analog Device sample project 21k/ez-kits/21065l/demos/plunk that
works properly using serial port. However, when I generate an ldr
file and use a FLASH memory (AM29F040B), there seems to be no activity
(I changed the JP4 to A18 as indicated in the manual).
Any suggestion as to what could be wrong is very appriciated.

Thanks

How does your processor boot normally? If you're booting from flash,
is your program being loaded into the first 256 words? Once you have
reburned the flash, can you reboot with the demo?

Put a 'scope on the flash CS line and see if it really is being accessed
when you boot. check the boot lines are set for boot from rom. There
are a lot of things that can go wrong, you need to pick them off and
eliminate what isn't the problem before you find out what the real problem
is!

Patience, persistence, truth,
Dr. mike



Dear DR. Mike,

There is no signal on CS pin of the Flash. I am really tired working
with serial port, I will receive an emulator very soon. I hope it
works better.
Thank you for your help.
