M68360 SMC in uart mode




By kioner - usenet poster

I've been having a problem using the Rev. C m68360 Smc in uart mode. The
smc receives a garbled character about 1 in 20. This only occurs with a
Wyse WY-520/ES dumb terminal. Using a scope I have demonstrated that the
wave form of the transmitted character from the Wyse is very poor, with
low voltage and slow rise time. Apparently this is so bad that the smc
has problems with it. The m68360 Scc handles this ok, however.

I found an errata referring to the smc's inability to handle "short
start bits".

Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Thanks,

May or may not be relevant -- Last spring I did a project with this chip and
had terrible problems with drift in the serial port clock.  One set of
symptoms was similar, namely that if you are sending a continuous string of
characters you would slowly slide past the window, get a garbled character,
and them more good ones.

You might try watching that clock with a continuuous store scope or some
such -- if the waveform starts getting "fuzzy" on the screen then it is
drifting.  Also, there is always the old "chill spray"/"hair dryer" test.
