disabling UART on 5402 DSK; I/O memory bug

Started by mdl8736 July 21, 2002
Hi all, it's the rookie again. I want to read from the external mem.
interface on the 5402 DSK, but I've heard that the CPLD device
that "directs traffic" on the board between peripherals has a
programming error and that I will not be able to access i/o mem.
space above 7FFFh. A suggested workaround is to diable the UART and
use it's space below 8000h. Can anybody tell me how to disable the
UART? I've looked in the CPLD CNTL reg and find that I can set the
INT1SEL bit to have the daughterboard trigger INT1, instead of the
UART. Is this what they meant by disabling the UART? Any help is
appreciated.

I use the IO memory space above 8000 with no problem.
By setting the INT1SEL the UART is not disabled, but the interrupts
generated from
the UART will not be directed to the CPU.

Have you checked the status of the DMSEL setting? If DMSEL is low, the data
bus
is not connected to the daughterboard connectors. You'll need to set the
DMSEL, if you want to access the IO memory
space above 8000 through the expansion connectors.
When changing the DMSEL bit, be sure you are running code from the on-chip
DARAM, because the SRAM and flash
are disabled when the off-board memory is enabled. You can see all that in
the schematics
