I'm trying to format the voluminous 32MB flash on the MOD5441 with an EFFS STD file system. My fs_mountdrive call failes with return code 3 ("not enough memory"). I cooked up a MX289GL256F.h file (the chip on board) based on examples for other modules but not sure what I did wrong. I'm usi...

MIL-STD 461, not sure how it compares to Class A/B. Yes, we're going to try the processor's spread spectrum feature. Thanks.

The Mod5234 has a 25Mhz crystal that feeds the DAVICOM9161 Ethernet chip. We would like to reduce EMI and our application does not need Ethernet. If we just remove the oscillator, what affect would there be on the DAVICOM to Coldfire interface? Has anyone removed the 25MHz oscillator, for instance w...

If you have 7 serial ports, you may have several via etpu. We found the etpu uarts interrupt once per byte. That can be a significant demand on the CPU depending on data rates. Using the port with the highest data rates on the hardware uarts helps, but even those only have a 4 byte FIFO. They also r...

Hi, we're anxiously awaiting the new high-end offering, assuming it is still in the plan. Would it be possible to get some technical information such as specific core part, signal pin-out, etc., for possible redesign of our carrier board which currently supports a 5234 and when might the modules be ...

Yes, that did the trick. Thanks.

The eTPU on the 5234 has a Pulse Width Modulator function. We are having a little trouble achieving the pulse with parameters we need. What could be the problem? We are trying to produce a 20Hz pulse with 50% duty cycle with the eTPU on a MOD5234. When we call with the following parameters, an Oscil...

What exactly is the second compcode parameter used for -- anything other than checking if the image will fit in the allotted space?

We have an application that uses the three 5234 UARTs plus two more via eTPU. There are many thousands of interrupts per second. In some of our testing, bytes are lost. The eTPU UARTs appear to generate an interrupt per byte. What would it take to get our eTPU to use DMA in order to reduce the numbe...

Yes, that definitely looks like a viable option, thanks. The tradeoff would be less overhead. The file system model simplifies managing the space since I am saving small configuration files in flash and the power failsafe during writes is also a selling point.
