debugging "blinky" for MPU

You know, I went back and actually bothered to read your posts and realized you don't need technical advice anymore and your issue is resolved. You actually wrote a long and detailed post filled with technical information that might help future readers that are in a similar situation, but since the threads on this board are so poorly organized, that'll probably never happen.. In this thread, you're the only person contributing non-trivial technical information, and I applaud that.

I read more closely and found that you were not "threatening to leave" the forum, you were leaving the forum, and I completely understand how you feel. If I had posted some questions, worked it out the answer myself, and shared it with the forum, only to be flamed by "no, confound it you stoopid n00b", I'd never post again either. I mean, why contribute to a community like that? The whole point is to contribute knowledge to a shared pool, however poorly organized!

This place makes TI's professionally hosted forums seem that much more incredible, and I highly encourage any TI users in this forum to migrate to e2e.ti.com, which is much better organized, easier to search, and professional. This forum doesn't require login or even have terms of service beyond "other customers will reply to you", and the potential for abuse ridiculously high.

Since you mentioned "selection process", you are probably still trying out the free evaluation version of MDK and hence Keil technical support is not available to you, so I apologize for inconsiderately suggesting something as obvious as "go submit a support ticket".

I guess I really need to work on my basic reading skills, but at least I don't post stupid stuff like Tamir "What potty mouth you have" Michael.

On behalf of all Keil end users, I'd like to apologize for the immature people that populate and troll this forum, and for my first two posts.

Yes, it's a deficiency of this forum that people can select any name when posting.

But what is the maturity of someone who fakes the name of someone else? You felt too cornered about the trolling in that response you wrote to Eriks posts?

no, confound it
there has been quite a few posts lately where 'ARM' has been used as an identifier for device dependent parameters, it is getting old for every post having to ask "WHAT?" about some missing detail. "0xFFFF0000 (start of ARM local RAM)" is blatantly false. Also, the OPs reaction to this was (horray) to identify what he was using and state the actual problems (that he had managed to work through).

you stoopid n00b
I posted no such thing, I even gave an example of what it should be.

That some are so fragile that they can not handle corrections is not my problem.

Per,

I assume that you meant this clinically:

but at least I don't post stupid stuff like Tamir "What potty mouth you have" Michael.

Erik certainly does not need my defense - but the record I stand behind what I said.

Let me try again (it is my trade mark is it not..)

Per,

I assume that you meant this cynically:

but at least I don't post stupid stuff like Tamir "What potty mouth you have" Michael.

Erik certainly does not need my defense - but for the record I stand behind what I said.

@Silly Sausage,
you know, i really do come across as a pain, thank you for pointing that out,

0xFFFF0000 is the start of arm local ram in the am1707 device-dependent memory map, so it was a miscommunication that i should have tried to clear up instead of posting a cryptic "you are wrong"

i should really look into this stuff first before posting

I did NOT post the above although it states "Author erik malund"

Erik

^^^ zomg this guy is impersonating ME, how did he do that??? i did NOT write the post saying "I did NOT post the above although it states "Author erik malund"

Erik"
