It must be quite frustrating seeing the progress and not having your hands on one. I guess you have to apply all the fixes once you get it.
Yeah :( I mean I could have tried the diagrom already if I had my board.. not easy to "debug remotely" .. Saying that you guys have made huge progress and we got a lot sorted over this past week. Hopefully this issue will be the last and we can start getting on with running GB6 and soak testing etc.

If you can hook up serial, then might be worth seeing if that works with the diagnostic cart.. worth a try I guess... No saying it will be much use, but at least it will test the rs232..
Hooked up my STF to seial using an FTDI adaptor and I am getting an out put but its' nothing meaningful.
Am I Correct its 8 N 1 and 9600?

I think so yes.. The garbage output could just be what the cart is sending out.

Icky, look at the serial on the scope and see if the bit width is 9600 baud,

Got there in the end - gone are the days when I had loads of serial cables lying around.
We have some more messages via serial so we know that the serial port works on the STF
So what we get is a message before the E7 one:
Code: Select all
I6 Testing Bus Error handling
No (I6) error
E7 Spurious Interrupt
E7 Spurious Interrupt

These are the settings on my terminal - 9600 8-N-1 / CTS / DTR

so I6 (IPL 6) is the MFP. "No (I6) error" ..looks like MFP interrupt handler are ok.

It took me a couple of attempts to get the cable sorted out from STF 25 pin to my USB Serial 25 pin cable.

Please could you show me the pinout you used?
It might be incompatible with my FTDI guess, so can try a usb-serial later on.
