I'm using lwip that runs httpd over LPC1769 MCU. Now the filesystem for httpd can't fit the internal Flash memory anymore. So I'm going to use an external SPI Flash memory. I need some suggestions about a filesystem to use. I need: - a tool that creates a binary (or Intel HEX) image from a folder on my Windows development machine (the image will be downloaded to Flash); - file ma...

I'm new to learning about jtag and it's capabilities, and my professor isn't helping me at all. I understand jtag is mainly used in processors, but I was reading on Altera's website about a flash chip (EPM3032A) they use that has jtag support. What jtag device would I need to communicate with a flash chip like that? I understand there are jtag devices that support many versions of arm, mip...

I'm tried to write or read from the external flash on the avr butterfly evaluation board. Even examples don't work. I thought I might have burned up the board but I tried another board with the demo program (there's a special key press combination in the source code that runs a test on all functions of the board) ,and the same thing happens. I'm just not able to talk to the flash. Any suggest...

Hi guys, I have a litte question for this group. The erasure/programing cycles in the Nand Flash devices are normaly 100.000 cycles. Suppose that my NAND Flash has 32 pages per block and one block was previously erased, Is the individual page programming counted like a cycle or is only the erase block operation taken into account. Thanks in advance :)

Hello, I would like to use the STM32F207 in order to interface up to 8 can channels by means of the SJA1000 can controller IC. In addition there is need for Compact Flash interface, plenty of external ram and flash memory. The Flexible Static Memory Controller (FSMC) peripheral seems that it could handle these requirements, but I'm not familiar with STM32 and so I have some questions. First ...

Hi all, I'm thinking of ways to implement a nearly non-volatile counter using flash and RAM. Idea is to count events in a RAM counter and write the count to flash every n times. At first I thought I'd just use successive locations in flash until I need to reformat the entire sector but I'm thinking it may be better to flip single bits from 1 to 0 with each bit indicating n events.

Hello. I'm having a bit of a problem writing a bootloader for the Renesas H8S/2314. The problem seems to be that i'm unable to write to the flash memory. So far, the problems seems to be that i'm unable to assert the FWE bit, however i'm able to program it using the Flash Development toolkit (so it enters bootmode, which implies that the FWE bit is asserted). I've put a switch connected to ...
