6711 McBSP (UART configuration) Question

Started by Devin Matlock June 19, 2001
      I have been working on a UART implantation with the two McBSPs
on a 6711 TI processor but I have been running into some problems.  I
have established transmit and receive on both channels (without any
DMA functionality) but I seem to run into some problems when
receiving information.  I will transmits a packet of information to
the McBSP and in the response (On the Host) I will expect to see
something like 40286BFE.  I often do receive the correct packet back
but sometimes I get something that is off like 40282BFE.  The change
from a 6 to a 2 is fairly repeatable and I know that the McBSP is
receiving the correct information else the software would not send a
reply.  Has anyone had similar issues with implementing McBSP as
UARTs and have you seen this type of problem.  I assume that the
problem is related to clock skew when transmitting back the
information but I am not certain of this.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  Cheers and thanks!  -Devin
