I've got a problem that I could use some help, it's got me baffled.
When I have the JTAG connected, everything seems to work fine, even
if I'm not running gdb. But if it's disconnected, the system is flakey,
ADC readings are highly variable, and button presses seem to occur
without pressing a button.. and when I put my fingers on the connectors
for the JTAG, the reset in particular, it resets.
This leads me to believe the reset and/or test pins are not getting
pulled high and low properly. I have the reset pin with a 33K resistor
to Vcc (3v). I've tried different values, at 1K, it seems more stable.
Perhaps the power supply is unstable? I've put in big capacitors to no
effect.
I'm about at wits ends, and soldered together a whole new board and
MSP430 and I get the same behavior, and have not spent about 12 hours
trying to fix/debug this problem.
Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks,
Kelly Murray
