Hi here. I am doing my final year project on the design of Single Board
Computer by using M68HC11. But I am facing a problem on the reset pin of the
M68HC11.
My reset circuitry worked fine without the connection of MCU. But once the MCU
is connected to the reset circuitry, the reset pin (pin 17) of MCU became 0V. I
suspected that the MCU had internally pull the reset pin to 0V. But I don't
understand how could this be happened. At first, I suspected a failure with the
MCU, hence I've replaced it with a new one. But the same problem occured.
So may I know what is the possible factor that can cause this phenomenon.
Hopefully that you guys out there can give me some hints regarding this matter.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
circuitcyco

The reset pin of the 68hc11 is both an input and an output.

There are a number of documents at the manufacturer's web site that may
help
you (www.freescale.com <http://www.freescale.com>).
Some specific ones I found on a quick look include:
http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/eng_bulletin/EB195.pdf
http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/app_note/AN1744.pdf
and the largest link, section 5 from the 68HC11 reference manual is at

HC11 pulls internally reset line low, but for a short time.
What's your external reset circuitry ? Maybe something is wrong here ?
Show us the schematic or at least describe it.

The /RESET pin in an input and an output. There are several possible
causes for what you describe. Put up a description of your circuit
and maybe we can help. Do you have COP enabled?

With this, i attach the schematic of my design for your reference.
The reset circuitry should be okie. Because if MCU is disconnected from it, I would obtain 5V when the reset button is released and 0V when reset button is pressed. As you can see from the schematic as well, I am trying to use a PSD to expand the memory space of my design. If PSD reset pin is the connected to the reset circutry without MCU, then I would still get the correct reading at reset pin of PSD. But once MCU is connected to reset circuitry, everything goes wrong. I suspect the MCU had internally pull the reset pin low. But I don't understand how could this happen. I came across a sentence stated that reset pin of MCU will give an open drain output to indicate internal failure from M68HC11 reference manual. Is it the case that I am facing now? Any solution for that?
I've been tried to operate the MCU in special bootstrap mode. But I was failed to get the MCU communicate with the host PC. Will the CONFIG of MCU been modified during the bootstrap mode? (But I didn't get the MCU successfully communicate with PC) I didn't do any configuration on the MCU. But the PSD is configured. So I am not sure the COP is being enable or not. I am still trying to figure out this.
Hopefully that I can get your reply soon. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot. Huey Fen wrote:

Still haven't found the RETURN key, I see.
As I stated, the /RESET pin is both an input and an output. I didn't
ask about COP with idle curiosity. It is a common mistake to get COP
resets. Any internal reset cause will force the /RESET pin low (active).
There may be an interaction which causes your external circuit
to latch up when this occurs.
