I currently am a partner in new company where we repair and return electronic controls for customers whose warranty with the OEM has expired. It can be as easy as diagnosing a failed relay or IC, and replacing it. Okay, so the insurance is straightforward, and probably cheap. A non electrical/software engineer partner of the company got the minimal coverage necessary to allow us to operate...

I'm looking for any software which can convert a program written in assembly language to either a hex format or even a binary format. I need to obtain a hex format for burning the EPROM on a 89S52 chip, and I only need the software for that. Softwares like Keil etc., are fine but I don't want to purchase it only for the sake of assembly. Does anyone have or know of any package for this...

Hello all. I'm looking for a relatively clean way to code a software reset for an AT90CAN128 or ATMEGA128 microcontroller using C code (or C with assemby embedded) that will compile under the avr-gcc 3.4.6 compiler chain. Essentially, I want a function softReset() that I can call from my program when appropriate that will reset and reinitialize everything, just as if a POR had occurred or t...

Hello! Can someone tell me if there is any way to replace the "OS" that manufacturers provide on various types of handheld devices, eg. the Gizmondo, PSP, different PDAs....., and replace it with something else? Also, where is information on these devices (technical docs) and how to program them? (I'm just a hobbyist, not a big software company of any kind). I'd like information, for example...

I have a client who needs to write program hex files to flash in installed AT91SAM2S256 chips. The board is fitted with the standard ARM 20-pin JTAG connector. I'm getting my head around OpenOCD and gdb, but they seem too complicated for a civilian. Would anyone like to share experiences with simpler software, possibly Windows-based? Recommendations for interface hardware, software p...

Hi Folks - Anybody care to recommend a USB software stack for use on NXP LPC2387 ? This is for a no-OS, C language project. It would be great to hear first-hand reports on what works (or doesn't work)... Thanks in advance, Best Regards, Dave

Hi Everyone, Can anyone tell me, How to set the Remote terminal address for my RT?. Guys we are using DDC-component. The part number is BU65178 G3 290. This IC has pins to set the Address for RT in two ways, One is Hardwired and another is Software programmable. I am very clear in Hardwired method, but I don`t about software method. I just...

Hi all, I know this questions a littel bit off topic, but maybe someone already came across this problem. I want to run software from an embedded project on windows. The software defines some segments and stores data into these segments. The content of the segments is stored non-volatile later on. I want to emulate a similar behaviour on Windows by just saving all data in a segment t...

I am trying to get started in mpu development. I have a Nitron HC08 development board and Metrowerks evaulation software but I am having a lot of trouble getting things to work. Every step is an effort. I think back to my days at school typing in the op codes with a keypad. It was error prone and repetitive but way more efficient then what I have been able to accomplish so far. Lots of c...

Hello all, I'm using the at89C51RD2 in an current application where I;m trying to use the Flip and the RS232 ISP programming. I programmed a virgin chip perfectly the first time and was amazed at how easy it was. Now that I'm trying to program it again though I'm having problems. The flip software is giving me an error message about a software timeout. I've done nothing with ALE I've...

Hi, I develop embedded software for a living. We need to instrument the bidirectional serial interface between our product and a daughterboard (containing its own microprocessor) so that we can have another piece of software (which we write to run under XP or Vista) examine the serial communication and look for logical errors. It would seem most convenient for us to use two of those...

I've been poking around without lots of success. I'm looking for the right tool chain to use to develop software for a TI LM3S811, hosting on Linux. This would be distributed as a training tool, so its almost essential to be able to do this with all free-as-in-beer software, and highly desirable that it be open source as it would eliminate tracking down any of those nasty "you can use ...

Gurus, I would like to know what all areas we should be looking into to increase or improve the performance of an embedded system software dealing with rtos mainly.I am aware am asking a too much generic topic,but I believe the performance enhancement techniques can be generic to a extent.When I say performance I mean the speed with which the device functionalities work and also reduce mem...

Hi, I am writing a bit of software to control a JTAG port, but I am having a bit of trouble getting it working. Below are the steps my software is following to test out a JTAG connection. I think that there must be an error in there somewhere, but from my understanding of the JTAG TAP and the way JTAG works, I can't see a problem at the moment. Can anyone comment on whether I am cont...

Dear all, I am currently working in on a consumer electronics device.We are in the process of debugging few bugs in the software which does the work of displaying menus and controlling the hardware of the device.I happened to go through the architecture of the software.What makes me wonder is there are 2 RTOS used in this device.One rtos is ucos and another is OS20 a proprietoty RTOS to r...

Does anybody know what codes to send a HOBO H8 datalogger to make it spill its data and then reset ? My app won't allow the use of Onsets proprietary software. If anybody knows the codes it will save me the time and trouble of "listening in" to the conversation between the device and a PC and trying to guess what's going on. Any info helpful.

Folks, We are in process to design a device with different sub- device, by sub-devices i mean with different clock requirements. The main processor we are considering to use comes with software configurable pll, that means you can actually classify the clock for fast, medium and slow devices. But there are some other cheap ICs out there doing the same job while multiplying/dividin...

Um ... has there been some kind of conspiracy at work over the past few years to totally drain the marketplace of decent PCB layout/routing software ??? Circuitmaker, Protel, Traxmaker ... the sub-$200 kind of goodies that combined all the good features with intuitive no-BS interfaces - gone. Seems they've all been bought-up and destroyed by Altium - which will now generously sell you t...
