Then I don't understand what your question is. I suggested that
you program the chips before installing them on the board, and
you seemed to reject that.

There are three means to program the OTP part, which are detailed
in the PDF file whose URL I posted. One of these is an EPROM
emulation mode (PROG mode), in which it emulates the 27C256
EPROM. The pin assignments for this mode may be found on
page 21. So if you know how to program the 27C256, you can
program this part. The steps necessary to put the chip into
that mode are detailed on page 19, and are MODA/LIR- low,
MODB/Vstby low, RESET- low, PA[2:0] low. The detailed connections
are in Figure 6 on page 21. You should be able to build a little
adaptor which would plug into any 27C256 chip programmer
using that information.

> We ain't sunk yet!

Apparently not, if you're willing to do what I suggested before:
Program before putting into circuit.

Mike,

We just aren't communicating, but we are on the same page. I have
always known that we probably had to program off of the main board. So
no, it's not rejected at all.

I don't know how to program a 27C256. So I'll try and find the diagram
you mentioned and see what I see. I was thinking I need to make a board
with a plcc84 socket and a db9 connector for the laptop for just this
part.

I have a feeling that there was a problem with the 27C256 emulation
method of programming and that it was withdrawn but I do not have any
references to confirm this.

I have had a couple of systems running using the MC68HC11K1 with an
external flash chip for program storage. This is programmed on board
using the HC11 in its special bootstrap mode where a small program is
loaded into RAM which, in turn loads a flash-burning utility into
on-board external RAM to carry out the programming.
I expect that the PDF document also details this sot of method even if
it does not give you a suitable program to load into RAM and burn the
on-board EPROM.
The process is something like:
Bring up the processor in the bootstap mode with the programming voltage
available
Transmit the programming utility. It starts automatically
Transmit the S-record file at an appropriate speed while it is being
programmed into EPROM.
If the program contains a verification step, invoke it and re-send the
S-record file to check that it has been programmed correctly.

The document I gave the URL for details three methods. The one which
looked easiest for someone not experienced with the '11 family seemed
to be the one I mentioned, the EPROM emulation. The processor also has
a built-in program which can burn the EPROM.

I am not an expert with this chip, however this is how I interpret the
PDF...

> The process is something like:

Either special boot or special test may be used.

> Transmit the programming utility. It starts automatically

To do this, he would have to write his own utility. The instructions
to do this exist in the PDF, but this requires him to learn how
to program the '11. To use the built-in ROM program...

Transmit a three-byte program which jumps to the ROM utility to
burn EPROM. This utility is located at $BF00. Wait for $FF from
the SCI indicating that the utility is running.

> Transmit the S-record file at an appropriate speed while it is being
> programmed into EPROM.

Transmit the raw bytes to the in ROM utility, with 2ms between bytes to
allow programming time.

These details are on pages 18-19 of the PDF.

Robert, Mike,

Roberts steps sound alot like what I have heard happens from a fellow
who has done this already. Too bad he doesn't like to share.

After the main program is installed, there is also some part of the
hc711k4 that holds some kind of group of what the original vendor
called constants and variables. These can be reset somehow if any of
them are changed to an out of range pcondition that makes the processor
goes into some kind of safe mode. Sorry I cannot be more specific.

The other thing I heard is there is an app note with a schematic on it
that shows the hand full of parts needed to make the plcc 84 version
able to be programmed. I look over every pdf file I run across but this
schematic eludes me.

It seems to me that he was writing something off the top of his
head. I didn't get the idea he was concealing anything.

I'm not familiar with this. What you describe sounds like having
security enabled. There is EEPROM on that chip. If the chip comes
out of reset in SPECIAL BOOT mode, and the security bit is set,
then the EEPROM is cleared. This doesn't make the processor useless.
Also, an OTP part will not come with the security bit set.

May I make a suggestion? I suggest that you read the section on
programming the EPROM in that PDF file at the URL I gave you.
After you read that, then you can ask intelligent questions, and
won't be relying on a fuzzy memory of a vague statement which
you may have heard from someone who saw someone else use the
chip.

At the very least, you should be able to know what it is that
you don't know, and have some vocabulary to talk about it.

Holy Cow Mike!

Some of these HC11 pdf files are hundreds of pages of Greek!!!!

I came to this group looking for help. Clearly, I'm not a processor
guy. Never claimed to be. What I'm telling you is what little info I
was given. You are too close to this skill to see what I see. I don't
understand much of it. So I have to rely on you and others to take
what I say and translate it into your own lingo. If it's that annoying
just tell me. I'll bug out of here. But this is a real need by a whole
group of people who have spent thousands buying these vehicles not
knowing about the poor R & D testing that the manufacturer did. So
here I am, an R & D guy, busting my butt every free hour I have to
keep more of these boards from dying and resurrecting the ones that
have died.

1) There is an app note with a schematic in it for allowing the
processor to be accessed in at least 2 ways. I may have even seen it.
I can fab my own board from this schematic.

2) There is some brand of software out there that will allow me to
burn code into my processor and fix the constants when they get
screwed up. Constant is what the mfr calls it. I need this groups
input on which software app to buy.

These are the 2 things I need. If I'm stil welcome here, then I want
help finding these 2 items.

No, that's not annoying. What's annoying is having suggestions rejected,
then hearing complaints about not getting help. I'm very familiar with
the MC68HC11 processors. I'm not expert with the K family specific
features. I've never programmed an OTP part like this, either.

Ok, fair enough. You are a nice guy.

But itt's *your* problem, and not mine. I'm willing
to help. But you have to pull your own weight. Otherwise, why not
just ask someone else to do all the work for you as a charity effort?

I'm sympathetic, and willing to help those who are expending their
maximum effort. But when I do projects for somebody else for no pay
I do them on my terms. This isn't my project. If you want me to do
the research for you, then I will. But I get *paid* for doing
other people's work for them. I've expended some effort on your
behalf, and requested in turn that you read three pages of a document,
spend some time thinking and trying to understand, then come back
with questions or requests for explanations or clarification.
I think that this is a reasonable request.

Ok, this is something you know that I do not.

Yes, there is. Two versions are described on the pages I mentioned
in the PDF document you have a copy of. How about reading that
description, which is better written than one I could write,
and then ask questions about what you don't understand.

> These are the 2 things I need. If I'm stil welcome here, then I want

Of course you're still welcome. AFAIK, nobody is angry at anybody.
Google is your friend.
If you can't find it, then why do you suppose that I can?

The document describes three basic approaches to programming that
part. Here's the part of the document I asked you to read and
try to understand. Now, step one: let's read that text (not too hard)
and try to understand what it means to you in this context, and pick
one of the methods to try. Only when that is done can we
begin to design circuitry.

Method 1: Normal Programming.

You write a program which you load into the uController using any
means available to you. This program follows these steps:

[QUOTE MODE ON]

1. Set the ELAT bit in EPROG register. EELAT bit in PPROG must be
cleared as it$function of the ELAT bit.

2. Write data to the desired address.

3. Turn on programming voltage to the EPROM array by setting the EPGM
bit in EPROG register.

4. Delay for 2 ms or more, as appropriate.

5. Clear the EPGM bit in EPROG to turn off the programming voltage.

INIT — RAM and Register Mapping $003D
Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Bit 0
RAM3 RAM2 RAM1 RAM0 REG3 REG2 REG1 REG0
RESET: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

6. Clear the EPROG register to reconfigure the EPROM address and data
buses for normal operation.

Method 2: EPROM Emulation Mode

In EPROM emulation mode (PROG mode), the EPROM/OTPROM is programmed as a
stand-alone EPROM by adapting the MCU footprint to the 27C256-type EPROM
and using an appropriate EPROM programmer. To put the MCU in PROG mode,
pull the following pins low: MODA/LIR, MODB/VSTBY, RESET, PA[2:0]. Refer
to Figure 6.
Method 3:

In the third method, the EPROM is programmed by software while in the
special test or bootstrap modes. User-developed software can be uploaded
through the SCI, or a ROM resident EPROM programming utility can be
used. To use the resident utility, bootload a three-byte program
consisting of a single jump instruction to $BF00. $BF00 is the starting
address of a resident EPROM programming utility. The utility program

[QUOTE MODE OFF]

The utility program presumably uses the steps detailed above in
Method 1 Normal Programming to do the work for you. The EPROM
emulation looks to me to be the simplest, supposing it works.
The circuit diagram for that is shown in Figure 6, if you would
just go look at it. (You requested that such a circuit be found,
a few times now, and I've told you now three times at least
that I have already found you one, but you won't go look.)

Anyway, read that text, and try to understand what it means
for you. Methods 1 and 3 require that you learn how to write
a program and upload it, and design a minimal circuit which
can cause the uController to boot and talk via its serial
interface. Method 3 requires a simpler circuit (schematic in
Figure 6), and an EPROM programmer which can program 27C256 EPROMS.
Which method looks best for you?

Maybe a good plan B is just give up on the OTP HC711s and make a little adapter board to go from the PLCC socket to a tech arts microstamp 20 pin header. Those have flash rom on them and can be programmed from a serial port. You only have the rom image, not the source code, correct?

I have the S19 file. Not sure if that's rom or source code.

S19 is an object file format, so it's unlikely to contain
the source code. One *could* do that, but it's unlikely.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!

It's not necessary for everyone to keep quoting the entire thread
every time he replies.

The K series processor has special purpose PWM hardware, which is
presumably used to control fuel injectors in this application. Does the
microstamp have a version with the K series proc on it? If not, then
I trow this is not a real solution.

A .s19 file is an image ready to be loaded in MPU, memory, or whatever.
S19 is the "binary" format which is traditional for Motorola/Freescale.
Is not really binary but hex ascii with additional address information
so that the loader knows where to put things.

Err, sorry, not "fuel injectors", but the speed of the motor(s) driving
the wheels.

Sheesh! I can't believe I wrote that!

Well, in an EV the PWM controller sort of 'injects' pulses of DC into the motor, so I'll go with it....
but you are right... the tech arts boards have hc11 d0 and e0 cpus.... no K models that I recall...

Something occurs to me. You need to program the EEPROM on that
chip, as well, do you not? Well, the pins you have available to
you on the connector do not include the SCI. You have, IIRC,

10 57 PC2/DATA2
11 60 PC5/DATA5
12 59 PC4/DATA4
13 62 PC7/DATA7
14 61 PC6/DATA6

So, you are going to have to come up with a minimal circuit
to boot that guy and talk to it in order to burn EEPROM.
That means that trying to use the EPROM Emulation Mode
for programming the EPROM would be extra effort.
