7.7 Trouble Shooting
Problem
Solution
Evaluationboard does not power-on
correctly. Some or all of the power
LEDs (D4,D7,D10,D13, D16) on the
CPU module do not light up.
Check voltage supply and jumpers :
∗
The voltage on DC-Power plug should be in
the range of 9-12V. The plug should have + on
shield and – on the center. The power supply
should be able to supply 1200mA to support
both, the CPU-module and the graphic
subboard.
* The LEDs should light up after switching on
the board. Use a multimeter to see whether
5V,3.3V and 2.5V are present on the Vcc/Gnd
terminals (JP2,3,4,5,6).
∗
Check jumper positions according to table 1
(Esp. : JP11 – JP15) !
∗
Remove all user extensions on the CPU
module and on the subboard
Evaluationboard stays in reset.
LED D25 (Reset indicator) ligths up
permanently.
∗
LED D25 (Reset) should flash. If D25 lights
up permantantly, the voltage is too low (below
4.25V) - Increase the voltage to solve the
problem.
∗
Remove all user extensions on the board to
avoid shorts or leakage currents !
The communication from Softune
Workbench to the evaluation board
fails (Communication errors)
∗
Make sure your COM-port number and the
baudrate settings are correct (see debugger
introduction). The default COM-port is 1 and
the default baudrate is 57600Baud.
∗
Make sure no other programs are using the
same COM-port on your PC. Close all other
applications (e.g. Flash programmer utilities,
terminals etc.)
* Check if RTS/CTS is closed on the CPU
module (check if pin 7-8 are connected).
* Use only an RS232 extension 1:1 cable
The program stops at the label
„uninitialized interrupt !“
∗
Before downloading a new project to the
evaluation board, re-initialize your CPU-board
using the reset button. This will erase all valid
interrupt definitions from previous programs
executed on the starterkit.
The abort switch (USER0) does not
work correctly.
* make sure you are using a debugging kernel
which is configured for using the USER0-
button as abort switch. See the description of
the monitor debugger project for more details
how to configure the kernel software.
* make sure not to mask the interrupts
