Questions answered in these manuals
What causes shifted data in serial communication?
Shifted data usually indicates a data synchronization problem, often caused by a noisy serial clock or system noise when transmitting unframed data.
From: Analog Devices Serial Port Development and Troubleshooting Guide
What causes incorrect bits in received serial data?
Incorrect bits in received serial data are usually caused by a system noise problem.
From: Analog Devices Serial Port Development and Troubleshooting Guide
What tools are used for this configuration?
The document discusses using VisualDSP++ 2.0, noting that the shipped tools require a modified kernel to handle EPROM overlays.
From: EE-166 ADSP-2106x EPROM Overlay Support with VisualDSP++ 2.0
How many words of memory does the processor load after reset?
The core processor loads 256 words into internal memory before starting execution.
From: EE-166 ADSP-2106x EPROM Overlay Support with VisualDSP++ 2.0
Are ADSP-21160 link ports compatible with ADSP-2106x link ports?
Yes, they are logically compatible, though only an ADSP-2106xL is electrically compatible without a voltage conversion stage.
What registers control link port operations?
The SYSCON, LCOM, LAR, and LCTLx registers control the link ports operating modes for the I/O processor.
