PV750 Digital output stuck on reboot

Post by mbowdich » Mon Aug 08, 2011 7:37 am

ver 2.2.10678

If the CCM->Shutdown() is called to reboot the display while the digital output is active, the output will remain active during and after the reboot until IO->Output Low is called, or the power is cycled. This is even the case if the reboot is for a configuration change to a configuration that is not using the digital output.

My suggestion would be to automatically reset all I/O when CCM->Shutdown is called.

mbowdich,

On the PV750 the output is controlled by a PIC. When you soft boot the PIC is not reset so the outputs will retain their previous values until the configuration tells the PIC otherwise.

I think the best way to handle this would be to reset the digital I/O in a state machine before you fire your Shutdown.

Hope this helps,
Thanks
