DM6435 HPIC register not as described

When I read the HPIC register (address 0x01C67830) with the debugger I am seeing 0x00000105.  SPRU998D July 2008 states this register should always have bit 3 set.  i.e. I should read a 0x0000010D.  Docs in error or is something broke?

    I think this is a doc error, it looks like this should probably read back 0 to the host processor as you are seeing, in any case as it is a reserved value it can be ignored. Is there something going wrong in your HPI implementation that led you to suspect this bit?

  • Was having trouble with the HPI and ran across this when testing my code.  The read from the HPI side seems ok--i.e. the bit3 is set.

    That makes sense and corresponds with what I would expect, thanks for the follow up, I filed this as an issue with the document so hopefully it should be fixed in a future revision.
