RE: [ts-7000] Newbie needs help -- booting?

["Mikell Taylor" <>]

I just had a friend take a look at it, and he tried setting the HyperTerm settings to 2 stop bits instead of 1. This solved the problem. Anyone else had this experience?

Ok others have offered advice re power supply and 
probability it is duff.

But maybe best to check out basics, given you say 
you are a newbie.

How have you configured the hyperterminal. I've no idea 
about Windows
apps, 'cos I use linux for my desktop (and I'll give my usual 
advice - if
you plan on doing things with linux on the ts7xxx series, then 
run a linux
desktop - the knowledge you gain will pay 
dividends)

Serial details should be

speed 115,200 baud, 8 data 
bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.

I set no-flow control, and I set my terminal 
software (ckermit, there's a
version for windows) to ignore the DCD/DSR 
signals.
