K3 ERR DSE

Hi All,

Some weeks ago now I installed the 5.54 MCU beta to use with the K-POD I
have not had any problems until the last couple of days when I
intermittently get a ERR DSE E 04004C.

Switching off and restarting the K3 with the power switch clears the
fault and then the K3 works perfectly normally. There are several
questions I would like answers to if anyone has any ideas.

Is there a known cause to this problem?

Is there a fix if it is known even if its on the todo list.

Is this the sign of a problem starting?

What does the E 04004C mean?

Factual answers please or do I have to contact K3support?

Re: K3 ERR DSE

Tony,

ERR DSE says that there was a missing echo from a DSP command - see page
68 in the K3 manual. The first level of "fix" is to reload the DSP1
(and DSP2 firmware if applicable).

If the problem continues, yes, contact K3support for further assistance.

Re: K3 ERR DSE

To don and all others,
I didnt even have to call or mail K3support but I have the response
already. I have reloaded the firmware now on MC 5.56 the DSP is the
same but got reloaded anyway. The problem would seem to be overwork of
the CPU and this seems to fit with my recollection that it only seems to
occur when I have the pc connected. The response from Gary was:-
*****
That error can occur if there are a lot of things going on at the same
time, such as CAT control is being used with a computer and NR or NB are
enabled. It is a report of excessive traffic to/from the K3 MCU.

Try turning things off that are not absolutely necessary, and/or reduce
the polling interval between the PC and the K3.
*****
My thanks to all who replied especially K3support i.e. Eric for
forwarding the mail and Gary and Don for there appropriate responses.
