Syntax MSGS Init_Communication (int init_n_times)
Description The Init_Communication function first attempts to communicate with the
DSK assuming that a valid communications kernel already exists. If this fails,
the DSK is reset and the kernel is bootloaded up to init_n_times. This function
also queries an existing communications kernel to determine if the kernel is
configured for bytewide- or nibble-mode readback.
After initializing communications with the DSK, the Load_File function then
loads the desired application.
Arguments init_n_times Number of times to attempt bootloading the communications
kernel before failing. Typically, this value is set to a large value to allow you to
connect cables and power to the DSK.
Return Value NO_ERR The DSK communications link is valid.
INIT_ERR The communications link has failed.
