Description

After triggering one $20 cycle the timing board stops generating interrupts for the state machine.

History

#1 Updated by John Diamond over 5 years ago

It would appear that this occurs after one or a couple machine cycles and persists until you restart bpmd.
Took a look at the timing board registers and noticed that they mostly return 0xffffs:

Suspect that this may have something to do with the efforts to make alarm interrupts work. Commented out the alarm setup/cancel steps in the StateMachine code. Will try it out in the AM.

Yea, that did it. Leaving the timer stuff commented out for now. Going ahead with rigging the down-converter test.

Closing this ticket assuming that the problem will be fixed with alarm interrupts (#9383).

Put the alarms back in and this is still occurring.
