Hello,
I'm having a horrific problem communicating with TI's TL16C550 UART.
I'm using the UART and an RS232 (MAC3221) transceiver to communicate
with my PC over a serial cable. I've successfully used this exact
architecture in 3 previous designs. I'm using the exact same DSP
software that I used in my previous designs. I've scoped all of the
control signals of the UART and they're all doing what they should be
doing. I've written all of the internal registers of the UART and
read them back and they're all set to what they were set to in the
previous designs. But.... I'm still not getting anything on the SOUT
pin. It just sits high and doesn't budge. I have a baud rate signal
coming out of the UART, but I cannot get anything on SOUT. I tried
switching to a brand new board and ran my code and I got something out
on SOUT for a short time (30-60 seconds) and then nothing ever again.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I'm stuck and just about out
of ideas. Please throw any ideas out there and I'll give it a try.
Thanks,
Dale
