Freescale 56F8322 (56800E) programming probs

Hi,

I'm using CodeWarrior for 56800/E Special Edition v7.2 and a parallel port JTAG command converter. For some reason, programming the 56f8322 flash with CW does not work. With CCS server running, CW connects fine and without complaints over the JTAG adapter, and shows sensible hex/asm uploaded data for the compiled source, but a P mem dump returns 0xFFFF's and a P mem fill with e.g. 0xABAB gives an error. When I disconnect 3.3V power from the 56f8322, CW says that the communication with the core was cut - as I'd expect.

So all in all the JTAG comms seems to work fine, but still flash programming fails (error & all reads back as 0xffff). Any ideas?

Another odd thing is that all 56f8322 I/O pins are high and put out

2.5V, while the datasheet seems to suggest this should be 3.3V?! Or?

And, does anyone know if there are better JTAG software tools for the 56800E hybrid series?

E.g. for flashing and debugging? Because frankly, the CodeWarrior SE debugger sucks big time...

(I'm running the 56f8322 only with 3.3V supply in, decoupling capacitors, and jtag cable, no other components connected, and already tried pull-up R on !RESET pin but to no avail. 56f8322 draws

90mA, JTAG works. No code-protect and hopefully no blown chip fuse either...)

thanks, - Jan
