How often -- and for how long -- do folks find consumer "appliances" (TVs, DVRs, phones, etc.) being actively updated? How prevalent is the "if you want newer firmware, buy a new product" attitude?

Hi, Could anyone tell me about Realtek chip which is pin compatible to RTL8019AS but is 100Mbps version? I ask this because I do not change a lot to my existing firmware. Thanks!

Hi, I was wondering if there's any microcontroller with built-in 1394 support i.e. with the appropriate hardware connectivity and a firewire stack in firmware? Google just gave me that MindReady solution which appears to be quite expensive. Thanks in advance Roland

I am looking for a tool to facilitate maintenance of a firmware-based product, but I don't know whether it exists, nor do I have a name for it. Ideally it would be vendor agnostic as I never wish to be covenant-married to any particular processor, language, or IDE. I will illustrate a typical problem (greatly simplified) from a real-life example. Let's say my executable comes from 2 sou...

Hi, New member here so hopefully I am in the correct group. We have many controller boards in the field running the NXP1769 processor. Randomly, maybe a year or even 2 years down the road, the processor crashes and re-flashing the firmware brings it back to life. We know it is a transient doing this but while we are chasing that problem, a stop gap fix would be to come up with an auto re-f...

Hello all, Caution I AM A NEWBIE!!! Be gentle, ever so gentle!!! I am currently trying to create a communication protocol that will connect several microprocessor devices together. The devices do not exist yet, because I have not designed them yet. In order to keep my sanity, I would like to store all the data in the same memory location for each of the devices such as firmware number, pr...

Hi there, I'm trying to programme a USB to behave like a mass storage device and a network unit (rndis) as the same time (only one usb port), i mean, when i plug it to a windows PC i would like to see two new devices plugged. The only way i've found is to show the usb like a hub with virtual units connected to it, all handled by software. Does anyone knows another way? Thank you!!

I am quite used to playing with PICs and JAL v2. I use the PicKit3 for programming and debugging. Now I want to learn C and AVR. I thought it may be a good idea to do both at the same time. I already have a device with an ATMEGA168 in it. I want to write my own firmware for this device. I have installed the Atmel Studio 6 and downloaded the data sheet for the '168. Now I need a progra...

What is he future? ARMs are coming down in price. Microsoft has made micro framework license free. Creating firmware has become high level (C#), cheap, and perhaps the next big thing? Will asm/C go the way of the dinosaur? Will 8 bit micros become obsolete?

Hi all, I'm after a bootloader to install on an ATMEGA162. Ideally it should be royalty-free and build with free tools. I don't really need encryption. The loader should accept new firmware via RS232. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks! Al

Hello, Sorry to be a nuisance but I'm afraid I'm a little stuck. I need to sample 12v signals with a PIC uC. I'm not an engineer nor do I pretend to be, and if I don't know the answer, or how to find it I ask :) Anyway, I'll tell you the reason I need to do this. I need to decode stepper motor phases. I've already written most of the firmware for the uC, and I know how to implement the res...

Hello, I have bought the book "Embedded Systems Firmware Demystified" by Ed Sutter. It is a nice read and I would like to try out the code therein on an actual system. It keeps mentioning the development board Coldfire MCF5272C3, but I cannot seem to find where to buy such a board. Has it been discontinued? Caj Zell

Hi ! This is a repost of an earlier message. Forgive me for the repost, but the issue is somewhat critical, and I've just ran out of options. Does anyone have exprience with this chip ? I managed to obtain a few engineering samples, and I'm supposed to design an audio peripheral device for PC USB bus. The problem is that the documentation of the chip says that with standard firmware and...

Hi! I have an application running on F1101a which I want to migrate to F2001 (I don't use all the I/Os and the lack of POR reset in F1101a is not a feature that I like). Now, I did all my firmware development under open source tools using mspgcc and their python driven tools to program MSP430 parts (I've used both the JTAG and the BSL). It was especially convenient for me since I'm usin...
