Which actual one? November was the latest release.

The symptoms you have are exactly the same as the ones I had on the kipper2k board before the ram fix.

I *think* I am using 2018_11_4, but I will reflash the board to make sure. The latest firmware seems to be tf530_2018_11_17_beta, shall I try that one?

That last one is aimed at 25mhz users. Not much point.

Ok. Dont know then. The data needs to be available for reading on the falling edge between S6 and S7 for my accelerator to pick it up. Just like the kipper2k ram.

Will report that to mkl.

Is this any useful in the meantime?

Maybe...

A few things are odd about that.

Go to the Memory Editor... Put DEADBEEF into address $600000 and then see if it (a) stays there and (b) if it also appears at $200000... Then reverse the process put it in at $200000 and check $600000

Did you get anywhere with this? Be useful to know what happened.

Well, mkl made a new firmware right for me, with a new memory decoding method. At first this seemed to pass all tests in diagrom, but then it started failing again. By trial and error I seem to have found a sweet spot on my TF that seems to trigger/fix the errors when pushed down.

It never passes any tests in SysTest though, so I'm not really sure of anything anymore :?.

I need more time for testing, but time never seems to be enough.
