Hi Josh, In the situation you describe, I guess I would first chip clip '174s for a slice of both PCA and PBC on the LA, run the troublesome instruction sequence, and look at the trace. Check that CLKPCA H and CLKPCB H are happening when and only when expected, and that all the timing there lo

Hi all -- Thought you all might be interested in an update, and I'm also looking for advice in debugging the current issue I'm hitting. After replacing the clock crystal on the TIG, the system started showing signs of life, but the Load Address switch would stop working after being powered on for
