Hi,
I am working with the Time of Day module in the DSP56858. This may be
a real newbie question, but i'll explain the problem i'm having...and
I suppose it's more of a programming problem. In my mock program I set
the current time, start the time to run and let the program spit out
the time(as it progresses). When I use the debugger to step through
the program, I receive the correct time outputted on the console
window. When I run just run the program, the console window keeps on
outputted the same time even though time has passed. I think I need to
put some delay in when the program reads the registers. Is this
correct? Currently, I have inserted MANY "nop" statements and it sort
of works because the program now outputs the time every 2 seconds. Is
there anything better than a "nop" that I can use instead? Is there
any way I can control the output such that after an X amount of time
the program outputs?
Thanks.

Given the symptoms, your problem is likely related to timer
initialization.
Configuration of peripherals often requires NOPs or careful ordering of
instructions. Configuring registers out of order can sometimes have similar
effects. I would first add (# of pipeline stages) NOP instructions between each
configuration, and see if the problem is fixed. You can then optimize if
necessary, once you find the offending sequence or
instruction.
