Which OS are you running the demo under? DOS, Win2K, XP, etc. There may be a problem accessing the parallel port if you are running XP.

Regards.

I am using Win XP, PC demo application is for 16bit DOS and using owotcom compiler.
If i want to run on intel processor & XP OS what i can do? and without ERROR.
Thanks

You could either boot a PC into FreeDOS, using a floppy disk (this is what I do), or run it on an Win2K or lower machine - then you should be able to run the whole system.

To run it on XP you will probably have to remove anything that attempts to write directly to the hardware.

Try this:

+ In main.c, commount out the lines:
---vParTestInitialise()
---vStartFlashCoRoutines( mainNUM_FLASH_CO_ROUTINES );
---vStartComTestTasks( mainCOM_TEST_PRIORITY, serCOM1, ser115200 );

The first two write to the parallel port, the last writes to the serial port. If the code executes like this you will get some warnings on the display that the COM test tasks are failing (because the line that creates the tasks has been commented out).

The code will still attempt to write to the hardware timer, which may generate the same error.

Regards.

Actually - I just tried running it on an XP machine and it executed without any problems. The error must be being caused by something else. I should ignore my last post.

In demo main.c : It is giving error "Com test count unchange! " Beacause of no loopback connector

I modified this main.c
But in my main.c only this things are there ,all i deleted

sQueuecreate
