Thanks Jim WA4CWI Jim, I appreciate you trying to make it work. Zipped code attached. Seems like a small zip file so may not be all there. On the other hand it is mostly text files.

Blinky was a crap shoot at best to try the HCG and FreeRTOS. I’ll look at your HCG and see if I find a difference. I see the HCG below but not the source code. Send it along. At least it gave you something to test load. If the problem is not resolved when I receive a working board I’ll debug the code as the exercise it was intended to be.

Used a hot air with board held in vice. Lightly tug on the connector from bottom side while heating the pin solder side with 400 C hot air. Then put flux on the for pins and used solder wick and a soldering iron to remove solder and most pin holes opened up. On holes that do not open I use a dental explore tool to stick it hole when solder is melted. Remove iron and then take dental tool out. Then solder in new connector. I can do more for you if you want me to. I forgot to clean the flux off the board I am sending back. You can use isopropyl alcohol to do this. I usually use Everclear or Ethel alcohol which leaves no white residue.

Blinky Working
by Bob Stricklin 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

I have a simple Blinky program working no the board. with this running we are pulling about 180 mA from the 5V supply. Still have things on the board that are not turned on yet. This is what i did to get it working… Using Halcogen I configured the Drivers, Pinmux and Het1. Then I only had to write a short program in sys_main.c. All attached here. Jim, your blinky code is not blinking LEDs. I checked with a scope also. Bob [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]] [cid:[email protected]]

Thanks Bob. I now have the parts, but have had nothing but trouble both removing and replacing those dumb little connectors! Any hints?

MAX4995
by Bob Stricklin 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

I see the MAX4995 has a minimum supply voltage requirement of 1.7V volts so I will take it out of the circuit. The TMS570 has some complex power up conditions in voltage and timing. If not correct the chip can go into a constant reseting mode like I was seeing. Something that may need more study. I can see where this would all work fine in a prototype but be on the edge and when in space operating at hot of cold have an issue on startup. Initially I checked out the supplies with no CPU and all looks fine and constant. I measured them many times with a volt meter but I could not see this reset glitch happening. I finally did look ant the error output pin on the CPU and this was the point I realized there was an issue. There is about 2 uf of bypass and 22 uf of filter/loop capacitance on the 1.2 volt supply that all has to get up and stabilized. In some systems this would all happen before the power is handed over to the TMS570. The power up delays in the TMS570 may be enough to take care of this if it does not mind some instability while in the delay which is in the order of a millisecond. The TMS570 will not allow the 1.2 volt signal to fall below 0.9 volts typically and above 2.1 volts typically. On a worst case bases this could be squeezed to 1.13 volts min 1.40 volts max. I took out all the extra resistors I penciled into the JTAG interface. May be able to take out more. I think EMUn needs to be pulled down low not high. I have connected them this way because I was seeing EMU interrupts in the startup error messages earlier. They are not there on the 10 pin version of the JTAG programmer. I will test it early next week but I think it will work fine and be simpler to deal with. I see not startup error messages now when loading code. Bob
