Hi Folks,

I have encountered the same issue.  The basic ADC functionality works fine, but 
can fail interrupting during an ADC cycle (not always under my control).  I 
simplified/re-wrote the ts7800-ctrl code (as supplied by TS) to the bare 
minimum to achieve ADC functionality in the hope of better understanding the 
cause of the problem. 

A cold-reboot has been the only option, which in my remotely deployed 
application, is extremely difficult.  Worse, I have found that a standard 
"shutdown -r 0" command will hang (just before it normally reboots)

So Technologic Systems - can you help?
