RE: Toucan softreset issue

Hello Allan 
Thanks for the information . I was doing little bit
more analysis regarding the Reset issue (external
watchdog) suring CAN softreset. Looks like our SPI
communication is disturbed during this time thus
causing an external watchdog timeout .  

At this point of time we are suspecting that we are
loosing some SPI interrupts when we are making a soft
reset at the TOUCAN module . 
 
The MPC 563 Errata sheet says the following 

---------------------------------------------------
USIU: Interrupt Controller may generate vector 0x0 or
has no request indication
DESCRIPTION:
When software masks interrupt requests, clears
interrupt flags, stops or disables a
module, or masks or changes interrupt logic in the
UIMB or the USIU interrupt
controller while MSR[EE] = 1, the interrupt request
may disappear during or after
the RCPU has acknowledged the external interrupt
exception. It may also occur after
re-enabling interrupts in the RCPU.
------------------------------------------------------
As I mentioned earlier the The problem(reset,external
watchdog) goes away when I  disable interrupts during
TOUCAN soft reset .
 
So I am wondering whether I am observing the same
situation as specified in the errata sheet (loosing
SPI interrupt). 
Do you think this would be possible ? 

Regards
Sudhersan
