5 Reset generated every 32nd read. - ID: 1105596
Last Update: Comment added ( jack_gassett )

While troubleshooting a problem where maybe two bytes
out of 5000 repeat the byte before them I realized that
every 32nd read there is a 10usec reset. This seems to
be the cause of the repeated bytes. Sometimes the
reset doesn't cause a problem but other times it does.

I applied the following band-aid code and the repeated
bytes went away providing consistant reads:

IF reset = '0' THEN
IF reset_count = "11" THEN
address_reg <= (others => '0');
epp_state <= IDLE;
address_state <= LOW;
data_flash_en <= '0';
data_epp_en <= '0';
OE <= '1';
WE <= '1';
ELSE
reset_count <= reset_count + 1;
END IF;

This basically ignores short reset's and only responds to
sustained resets. This doesn't really address the issue
though. I did some searches on the Internet about what
can trigger a reset on the epp port but had no luck. So
if anyone can figure out why these resets are happening
please let me know.

Thanks,
Jack.

That's a great idea. I am using the same parallel port to
program the cpld. I usually close impact before using the
writing program but maybe something is left open. I think I
will try on a completely different machine that does not do
anything else on the parallel port.

Try to unload the parallel port driver (parport.sys).

I'm definately in EPP mode. After playing around with this
more it seems to be intermittent. It happens some times and
then doesn't others.

Probably, your port works in ECP mode. Try to set EPP mode over BIOS or
OS.
