Hey

Thanks for the fast reply

We are working right now ONLY with signal tap on both sides. We did check with an oscilloscope the transmitter and the receiver and they seem to be fine.

The data on the receiver board also fine. The receiver side seems to have the data (with the oscilloscope) so it looks like there's a problem with the code.

I think I might get a nice picture from the oscilloscope of the data on the receiver board but only in Sunday. Would it be useful?

By the way we have been told not to check the serial data out from the transmitter with signal tap because it won't work (it's too fast, but we did cache it with the oscilloscope).

We have a logic analyzer but we asked and told it won't do any good and we have to use the oscilloscope.

What the advantages of the logic analyzer compared to oscilloscope?
