HI All I've looked at Keil uVIsion (Trial Version) as well as Asem51v1.3 (old stuff). Any suggestions of the compiler software you're using to write/compile your code and create hex files to upload to the ATMEL microcontrollers. I would rather review a few other options, than to invest in the Keil software, only to discover afterwards that there are maybe better tools for the job ...

I have a product which has been running for 16 years, based on a Hitachi H8/323 (16k PROM, 48k external address space). This CPU is end of life though we can still buy it from Hitachi (Renesas) and countless secondhand chip dealers in the USA :) We are looking at re-doing the whole thing to get rid of the processor. One option is to stick with the H8 family, which still exists, with t...

I'm considering using the Atmel LP214 to act as a translator between legacy hardware and a new imager (camera) chip. It's 14pin, has enough Flash and RAM, and has the UART and counter to make life easy, but I'm a little unclear on how one debugs code on a part like this. I'm not interested in going back to the compile-burn-run puzzle or dropping breadcrumbs (printf-style "begin Main()")...

I'm interested in learning about and programming embedded microcontrollers. I'm on a shoestring budget though. I'm looking at the Atmel AVR chips since there is a large user community for them. In order to get my feet wet is it necessary to get the STK500 development board or can I get started with a basic AVR chip and a solderless breadboard? It seems to me that from a hardware perspec...

Hello group, After years of development on various windows CE platforms, I am now tasked with developing software for a new Atmel ARM7 based design. We plan to use a serial SPI flash for datastorage, but I lack a little understanding. We need to handle about 2MBytes of sessiondata and systemconfig data and we need to be able to dump and modify these data on a PC via ethernet link. Also the...

Just spent an hour googling I'm trying to find a reasonable BL for the enduser, preferably using USB/FTDI or the silicon labs thingy/equivalent.

I'm trying to design a circuit with Ramtron's non-volatile parallel FRAM with built-in RTC - the FM3808. The datasheet states that the FRAM works differently than SRAM, in that it needs the chip enable CE/ to toggle between each access and not stay low. This is because it is needed for the necessary precharge period. I'm using an Atmel ATmega128's external memory bus, and will be ...

Wondered what the state of the art is on keeping embedded code secret. Who does it better these days? I see some secure processors from Atmel and a few others, but they seem more oriented to securing comms and data than in securing their own code.
