Activating chip selects...???

I'm trying to access external devices on a XC161.
A0-A19 are active.
So are CS0-CS4.
ADDRSEL4 is set to 0x0400 (start at 40000h, size 4k)
Writing to 0x40000 works but CS0 is activated not CS4 ???
I have no experience with this family, so I must be doing something silly...

Startup file was generated by DAVE, but checked out to be correct.
Writing is done by use of a pointer. Is there an other/more direct way of accessing external memory/device?

  • Thanks, stefan.
    My applications works ok now too. I use 5 CS's and 20 address-lines.
    This problem only applies to the new V2-core like in the XC161, because it handles CS-settings differently.
    If you're using Dave with these chips, just change the "adr >> 8" parts in the startup file into "adr << 4". (see one of the previous messages)
    You only have to do this once. After this, CS's will work fine.
