Hmmm....I'll see if I can reproduce this. Does it happen every time or just on one occasion?

[Rons]

It  happened 2 to 3 times. If this sort of event happened while using
Linux, it would already be fixed. I vote for a Linux port. I might even
volunteer.

I'm having a hard time trying to reproduce the problem. So far I haven't seen it happen. Here is my test setup:

Windows 98 version 4.10.1998
Flash Magic 1.87
Phytec phyCORE module
Philips P89C51RD2HBA (same as 668 but without I2C)
20MHz crystal

I tried 9600 baud and 2400 baud.
I tried closing the Display memory window: immediately, after the first data set had loaded in, after the first block had loaded in, after switching to the second block.

Questions:

What baud rate and crystal frequency did you see this happen at?
Did you have the correct 668 device selected in Flash Magic or another device?
Did you have the correct crystal frequency entered (note that enter 11 when it is really 11.0592 is not correct)?
Can you recall at what point you closed the window (immediately, after the first data set, etc.)

[Rons]

baudrate - 115k
crystal  - 20meg
I enterered 20.0000
time to close was less than 15sec

[Andy Ayre]

I gave 115k a try on both Windows XP and Windows 98, closing the window at different points. I couldn't reproduce the problem. I looked at the source code to see what might cause it and I cannot spot anything - it is a controlled stop to the reading of the device.

Do you have another Windows 98 PC you can try Flash Magic on and see if the problem exists there too?

[Rons]

I try to have as few windows PC's as possible. Linux is my thing.

[Rons]

Maybe it would be better to take a closer look at the register dump
and back track how execution could get to that point

[Andy Ayre]

I'll look into this.
