0000186: Determine why PORTA pins go high during reset

port A bit 6 is connected to the run/load switch on the TA demo board. The serial monitor code enables portA pullup on the PUCR to test state of this pin.

taken from serial monitor source:
S12SerMon2r2.def
;SwPort: equ PORTA ;pushbutton sw connected to port A
;Switch: equ PTA6 ;switch connected to PTA bit-6
;SwPullup: equ PUCR ;pullup enable for sw port
;mSwPullup: equ PUPAE ;Mask value to enable for sw port

S12SerMon2r2.asm
bset SwPullup,mSwPullup ;enable pullup on force monitor sw

This could explain some of the behavior seen

Anyone have a link handy to the full SM source?

Anyone want to give me a clue as to what to do? I'm thinking write a few lines to bang everything that's a potential problem to LOW.

Now where's my BDM!!!!

-thx sean

thx chris!

I really should get that BDM from abe. There is a chance I may brick my TAcard in doing something like this.

Sean, not possible to brick it. Either you have a BDM and can undo your doings, or you don't and can't screw with it in the first place.

If the TA card has a physical pullup on that pin, then we should rework it to not enable the pull up and solve a lot of headaches. Additionally, even if it doesn't (though I think that it does) users could add one easily.

Also, if reworking it, we can remove the check on the serial pin state and save all projects some hassle.

Such mods would need to be VERY carefully performed. It would be ideal if we could get to the point of generating an identical s19 from GCC asm/C sources in a new project, tag it as "TA" and then make some changes from there in a controlled way. If we can't do that, then we need to verify all of our manual binary changes very very very carefully, both by code inspection and by real world tests.

That's what I mean when I said I better get the BDM. Right I was going to compile their src and check to make sure all is well then proceed from there. Seems many hw issues* can be solved by a few SM changes.
