TMS320VC5401 Assembly - Timer0

[danielt3]

Hello

I have designed a board around the TMS320VC5401 TI DSP.

I'm working on an audio related project. I have to send a sample to the DAC of my board every 48kHz. The sending is OK as I have written a small code to write to it (two channels). Now I have to setup a 48kHz timer0. I have tried several things and alternatives but I found no source code example.

Could someone please, point me to some examples (in Assembly)?

Also, could someone, please, review this code and see what is wrong with it or at least, give some directions on what to inspect? It shows nothing on the LED pin when it should be toogling at 48kHz
