Trouble with C5402 DSK on new Intel PCs

Started by Jean Viljoen June 18, 2003
Dear group

I have a C5402 DSK that runs well on the older PCs (Win98 platform) in
the lab, but refuses to work with two new 2 GHz Intel machines (Intel
motherboard and processor). I have tried all the obvious things (port
address, port mode, etc). I have tried the board both with TI parallel
emulator and Spectrum Digital XDS510PP and XDS510PP_Plus JTAG emulators.
The boards (I have tried 3 different ones) work on older PCs, but not
the two new machines.

Have anyone had any similar problems. TI support is in the dark re this
problem. I have even bought a PCI card with parallel port, but to no
avail either.

Have you got another simple parallel port device you can try? A Xilinx or
Altera
programming pod, or something that basically tests the port? The fact that your
LPT2
add-in card won't work is very suspicious -- it needs to be tested with
something
else first.

Jean,

In Win98 any software may access the LPT port directly, but if you
are now running NT, 2000 or XP you need to install special LPT
drivers for the XDS510PP that (most likely) came with the emulator.
Make sure you have the administrator rights to your PC before you
try to install them.
If you have done that already and it still doesn't work, contact the
manufacturer (Spectrum Digital) for help.
