Software Reset of MCF5234 not working

[sirlenzelot]

Hi All,

I am trying to soft-reset my MCF5234 with the following code, but nothing happens. The program just keeps looping and no reset is executed.

Does anyone encounter a similar problem?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Dirk

asm("    MOVE $2700,SR");

asm("    MOVEA.L #$40110000,A0");

asm("    MOVE.B $C0,(A0)");

while (1) { }

Check the assembly syntax for your compiler.

I use gcc, and for it the assembly should be "MOVE #$2700, SR" and "MOVE.B #$C0, (A0)". Otherwise you're moving from memory location 0x2700 to the status register, and from memory location 0x00C0 to the Reset Control Register.

Read this one, there might be other problems with Soft Reset:

Thanks, Tom.

Indeed, I forgot the #s.

It's working now.
