Resetting DSP
The DSP has to be reset before it is first programmed.
The reset causes it to perform
an initialization and returns it to its default state.
The DSP reset is done through the
Reset
port.
After the initialization, the DSP returns a data byte
0AAh
at the
Read Data
port.
The
procedure to reset the DSP is as follows:
1.
Write a "1" to the
Reset
port (2
x
6h) and wait for 3 microseconds.
2.
Write a "0" to the
Reset
port.
3.
Poll for a ready byte
0AAh
from the
Read Data
port.
You must check the
Read-Buffer Status
port to ensure there is data before reading the
Read
Data
port.
Typically, the DSP takes about 100 microseconds to initialize itself.
After this
period of time, if the return value is not 0AAh or there is no data at all, then the
