Hi All , Lately I came across an american service called ExpressPCB , that has its own CAD software and after laying out the PCB , you can use the software itself to order board manufacture. The software can be used to generate BOM and specify Part number from Digikey. This is brilliant seamless process. Also it is fine tuned for hobbyists. The pricing is fabulous. The only problem is the ...

Hi I'm just starting embedded programming again having taken a break for 4 years. I need a RCS version control software. What free / low $ software can you recommend, running Windows and perhaps one that also allows branching? Thanks Klaus

A while back we had a short seminar on DO-178 and I asked the 'experts' how DO-178 dealt with the software in modules from a third party (I used GPS as an example). They said that as long as our software treated the GPS module as a black box or a slave, that we didn't have to ensure that the GPS module's software was DO-178. Is this true or still true? What about modules in general? I h...

Hello, I am looking for software to program SD and microSD memory cards. Currently, I use Windows Explorer to transfer files to a card reader, inserted with the SD card. Now I need finer control over the writing process, specifically, setting the write-once-bit. Please let me know if you are aware of such software, or tool, or idea that can help me. I searched the web, but I could...

Hi everybody, I hope somebody can help me. I've a Evaluation board for the ColdFire MCF5272. I using the CodeWarrior from Metowerks. I tryed to get running the usb-software from Motorola. The usb-software for the host (PC) is running incloding the drivers for windows 2000. I tryed to run the usb-sandalone software on the evaluation board. If the software is runnig in the CodeWarrior Debug ...

AFAIK there are no laws that regulate automotive software, specifically -- just threats of lawsuits if a car kills someone, and systems-level requirements that cover cases like Volkwagen and their dirty diesels. Am I right? Or are there safety (or other) regulations that extend their tentacles specifically into automotive software, the way DO-128 does in avionics, and the various IEC s...

Logicport has stopped working in the lab, and now when we start the software it reports - "The LogicPort hardware may already be in use by another instance of the software". It appears to be a software glitch that causes these problems. Our prof is considering sending it back to Intronix for repairs but we are losing time on finishing our project. (It appears that the usb interface using F...

I am looking for some free-download software that can run on a PC (W 2000 or XP) that will display all the communication between the PC and a selected USB device, even if (especially if) the device is not being enumerated properly. So far, I am looking at HHD Software's "USB Monitor". Anyone have experience with this or something similar?

hi group, I'm on a transition from software to embedded software job. however, I haven't used things such as logic analyzer or analog boards for years. Now I need to fresh my mind and get some exprience on: layout, prototyping analog and digital circuits circuit schematic What should I do? how and where? any online resources? thank you, amit

Hello all, I am about to work on my first embedded x86 project. I have four years of embedded software experience. However, all of that experience has been with ARM, SH, or XScale based hardware. We are doing a custom x86 hardware platform, and my group is responsible for developing design verification test software as well final functional test software. To be perfectly clear, I'll share ...

Hi, Our ADuC842 (8051 family) based prototype has started to behave erratically. We're fairly certain it's a hardware problem, but before building a new print we're trying to rule out software problems. One symptom is random controller resets. Can this be caused by failing software? I'm talking about the effects similar to a complete power cycle, not just the PC being reset to addr...

Hi All, Has anyone manged to get the tiny bootloader from http://www.etc.ugal.ro/cchiculita/software/picbootloader.htm working? I have a 16F877A with a 4MHz crystal. I modified the frequency in the software and downloaded it with no problem. Running the software it discovers the PIC with no problem. However, I tried to create a simple program in assembler that would turn on all the ...

G'day, I am porting software from intel to ARM with linux 2.6.20.4. All goes fine. Except, I got "Unknown signal 64" signal every time I started fresh compiled software on target ARM machine. This is USB bus software. And on start it calls kernel module of a corresponding driver for the USB device. After "Unknown signal 64", software dies but kernel module stays working. What this signal a...

Hi, I am looking for some ways for remotely upgrading only a part of functionality/section of a software running on a target board by sending commands to it through web interface. I do not want the entire software to be upgraded. I want only one functionality to be upgraded. I do not want the software on the remote target board to be rebooted. I am considering an ARM processor based boar...

Watching all this discussion about debugging with an LED and such, I was wondering if anyone else writes software UARTS for debug info. I've written a 9600 baud tx-only UART for AVR's in 35 assembly instructions. The data out can be inverted so that you can connect the tx I/O pin directly to your terminal without an inverter or driver. Timing is by software timing loops so interrupts...
