hello, Any one have any info on XELTEK EPR-01 EPROM programmer. I am looking for documentation and software or compatible software. currently it only has the 28 pin socket installed *BUT* I noticed the PCB has slots for 40 PIN chips sockets (not installed) is there any way to upgrade this programmer or does it already support other 40 pin devices and i just need softwware ? and install s...
How to interface PC and FPGA through USB 2.0

Hi, I want to write a C++ code that will allow for the communication between a USRP board (a hardware device that is used for making Software Defined Radio. It captures the actual data on which modulation/demodulation in software on the PC has to be performed. The USRP does some processing on raw data such as analog to digital conversion, down-conversion and decimation of data and throws it on ...

Group, This is not spam. I am looking for a respectable and reliable company to do some business with. My company has a design and schedule in mind that cannot be achieved without some external help. Specifically looking for a firm with experience using Micrium tools on STM32. My design lends itself to use of thier RTOS, File System, GUI and USB-MSD software.

I was thnking with myself today and i remembered an old software architecture for embedded systems division: 1. Round-robin 2. Round-robin with interrupts 3. Function-queue-scheduling 4. Real-time Operating Syste IHMO the first one is just a subset of the second so i will just ignore it. I was thinking on what kind of architecture i usually use on my projects (that usually range bew...

My goal is to gain experience working with an RTOS. After selecting uc/OS I have have the book and software. After installing the software and starting the book, I don't know how to build the kernnel. Chapter 1 of the book assume it is runnable in a DOS window, but I don't see how to build it. I have an ARM / Cortex evaluation board on order and hope to move to that. When can I find a tutori...
USB - using endpoints with ping-pong attributes (dual bank)
Hi, The datasheet for the AT91SAM7X256 says: "Warning: When RX_DATA_BK0 and RX_DATA_BK1 are both set, there is no way to determine which...
Hi, The datasheet for the AT91SAM7X256 says: "Warning: When RX_DATA_BK0 and RX_DATA_BK1 are both set, there is no way to determine which one to clear first. Thus the software must keep an internal counter to be sure to clear alternatively RX_DATA_BK0 then RX_DATA_BK1. This situation may occur when the software application is busy elsewhere and the two banks are filled by the USB host....

Hi - I'm looking at doing some DSP work (specifically, I'm working on an AHARS system). I've never worked with a DSP - but I understand them to essentially be a microcontroller with especially strong math abilities. Thus this seems like a perfect solution to my needs. Problem is - it seems most all DSPs require expensive dev software and hardware. I'm coming from the ARM and AVR world wh...

Hi every one, I would like 2 ask about the random number generation. Is random number generation function/method in programming languages implemented in software layer or in hardware layer, and if it is implemented in software layer, how it is implemented in the regular calculator i.e. pocket calculator (not calculator program). thanx

Hi, I have thought of a free software project in my mind. I need your opinion on it because currently I am familiar only with the 8051 microcontroller. As you would have alreay guessed by now, I am planning to create a Universal 8-bit Microcontroller simulator for the linux platform. Yes, there are such software already in the market, but AFIK they are all proprietary products and are no...

Hello all, I am using the YAGARTO toolchain (Eclipse, GNUARM, OpenOCD) for developing the software for a current LPC213x project (OS: Win XP pro). From time to time, the Eclipse IDE suddenly hangs. This happens when trying to save after some changes have been made to a source file, or when entering debug mode, or at some other circumstances. It does not generally fail, and when I restart...

Hi, group, I have a board with 80188 microprocesser and I have software that is tested good on PC with watcom C 11.0. Now I need to port the software to the 80188. I have paradigm locate 5.0 but I have never used it. The manual talked about supporting Borland C++4.0 and MSC 8.0c. Has anybody tried to use it with watcom C? Does it work with Turbo C 2.01 too? I need to decide how I would app...

Dear All, I am working in organization as Sr. Design Engineer. Our major problem is to have standard modules to be shared between all software engineers. I dont want all to write their own code, Can there be any method by which code can be shared by all without allowing others to modify the proven part, what i mean is only application layer should be modifiable to others - basic core should rem...

Hi, The following link for Schematic and PCB editing software has been posted on the lpc2000 yahoo group. http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/ Looks like it runs under both Linux and Windows. The documentation is mostly in French, and it looks like they are looking for people to help translate the documentation into English. Regards Anton Erasmus
