My 5501 had the problem. Measuring with a scope did show the oscillator didn't run and the clock was apperently fed by noise. I fiddled a bit adding capacity by putting my finger on the capacitor and the oscillator did start and the clock has been fine since. So, if you're in a hurry, as a workaround, try it! [If people wonder about my "oscillator didn't start" thing, I measured it on a 150 MHz scope with 250 MHz 1:10 probes, which should be plenty to watch a 32 kHz circuit, even if it runs 10x fast..] Geert Jan _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
