Which Is Better!!! - indran19 - Nov 1 9:40:00 2004


i am doing my final year project using expanded mode configuration..
i am using an additional 64KB EEPROM(28C64) with MC68HC11 E1..
i wanna know which is the better way to program the eeprom..
my friend has advised me to use Jbug11...
i talked to my lecturer and he advised to directly load the program
inside the eeprom...
so,which is better and easy...
plz help me...

should i use serial communication RS232

or directly load the program inside the eeprom and then coonect it
with MC68HC11..

and can anyone suggest which software can i use to program 28C64
EEPROM...

The 28C64 is a 8KB EEPROM (not 64KB).

The best way is the one that works! Unfortunately, not every utility is right
for every hardware configuration, and there are 'infinite' such configurations.
JBug11 should do IF you can tweak it to your hardware (or if it happens to
directly support your hardware). This means you might have to modify the
'talker' provided.

Forgive your lecturer for wanting to torment you like this. If you program the
EEPROM separately, you'll have to plug/unplug the chip from its socket for every
little change in your code. Do YOU want to do that? (I can think of better
ways to waste time.)

> should i use serial communication RS232

Yes, use the HC11's bootmode and have the EEPROM always connected. Switch to
bootmode to program it (with whatever software works for you), then switch to
normal mode for running your code.

It's your life...

There are various breeds of EEPROM. Some use proprietary algorithms, others are
written exactly like RAM, etc. So, whatever software you use, it has to be
compatible with your memory chip. If all else fails, you could always write
your own little 'talker' that will load in S19 records from the RS232 and
program your EEPROM using whatever algorithm needed. (And you can be proud of
having built an EEPROM programmer in the process.)
