Usually I can build my projects for embedded platforms for target board and for mingw compiler under Windows. Of course I simulate hw peripherals (UART, LEDs, and so on) in some way. I usually have a debug console where I can type some commands to simulate something. For example, if I have analog inputs, I can type the command an1 300 to simulate the ADC result (300pt) for analo...

Hi all, I'm trying to connect a GPRS modem (Siemens MC35) to my windows CE based device (platform smdk2443 Samsung). I have for UART possible ports: UART0 -> I'm trying to connect my GPRS modem on it UART1 -> Debug port UART2 -> not available UART3 -> I've also tried on this one the problems is that I follows all the steps to create a dial-up connection but when I execute it I obtai

BTW, is there an easy way to autodetect the baud rate while using an AVR UART? (Preferably something that works with ATmega8, given that those MCU's are such a cheap thing nowadays.) There're some ideas (and 8051 code) for that on [1], but I'd like to know if there could be any better techniques. TIA. [1] http://www.pjrc.com/tech/8051/autobaud.html PS. It seems that I'm sl...

Does anyone have information on the Make Controller Kit board? Is $150 a good price? According to www.uCHobby.com it has the new Atmel AT91SAM7X256 with everything except the kitchen sink; 256K Flash, 64K SRAM, JTAG, Ethernet, CAN, USB, 3 UART, 10 A/D, 4 PWM, 2 SPI, Watch Dog Timer, POR and Brownout etc...

Greetings Title says it all. My company is using PIC10's as local supervisors, but they are a pain in a number of ways that I don't wish to discuss. We would like to know of micros that have UART bootloaders loaded at the factory so that the parts can be programmed in system from a serial port on the test computer. Requirements are simple: 8 bit ADC, a few timers for PWM. Cost is

I have project for school where we are using the Cygnal 8051 mircocontroller to capture acceleration. My part of the project is to take the data stored in memory and use MatLab to produce graphs and such. My question is where do i get started... how can i directly interface the 8051 with Matlab.

I'm a good programmer in just about any computer language you can mention. But for example, I don't know how to use the multitude of protocols to talk to the various types of hardware. Some easy examples of these protocols are the 1553 bus and UART. There are many more that I could list. I'm looking for a well-rounded course or courses to learn Embedded Programming. What should I learn? What...

Hi: Once again, I am writing a buffered, interrupt-driven driver for the serial comm UART (SCI) in the TI TMS320F2812. The lowest level interface to the user will be a function int SCI_getc(void); returns the next character received or EOF if nothing is available. However, if there is an error in the receiver, there appear to be two ways to inform the user space: 1. On the...

Does anyone have recommendations for Cortex M3/M4 microcontrollers with a bootloader in ROM? We use a number of Freescale Kinetis devices, but there is no ROM bootloader - programming is through either JTAG or the EZ-Port (basically treating the chip like an SPI flash device). We have an application where a UART-based bootloader would be very useful, and having it in ROM would save a lot of...

Gang: Now that all the cuel new laptops have no serial ports and no PCMCIA card slot, and I am stuck haplessly with USB, does anyone have a good experience with any USB (or fire-wire) serial devices? I have many legacy apps that want to talk to a UART real bad and the quality of the driver would be the issue here. I would really appreciate a couple of names of devices I could purchase...

We have been developing code for the AT91RM9200 and have found problems with the UART when running the USART 1.5% slower than the selected boaud rate. A natural consequence with certain clocks and the available divisors available. The problem is that framing errors are not correctly detected. i.e for 115200 we have a 18.432 MHz crystal clock, and processors runs at 179.712MHz, main clock=59....

Hello, I'm trying to implement a simple communication link between my PC and the FPGA. Having read that an HID is the simplest form of USB communication, being a newbie in this, I decided to have a go at that (UART has been done, I figured I could use the challenge, silly me :). Problem's that the documentation for writing the firmware of the USB controller (Cypress CY7C67300/EZ-HOST) is ver...

I often have the need to exchange some data between two or more MCUs. I usually use I2C or UART as physical layers. Normally I design a simple protocol between the MCUs: one framing mechanism (Start Of Frame, End Of Frame), one integrity check mechanism (CRC), and so on. The payload is statically defined between the two MCUs: - first byte is the version - second byte is the voltage m...

Hi, i am looking at running serial comms over a bidirectional fibre link. What i would like is to run full handshaking and control lines over this link. Are there any chips which will do this for me? If not, i am considering using a microcontroller to sample all the line states, then send the bit states over the link to be reconstructed the other end. Any ideas or suggestions much apprec...

Hi everybody, I am looking for an ARM MCU with the following constraints (in the order of importance): - 4 channel ADC with > = 500 k samples/s - Price in 1k units < $1.50 - Frequency "as high as possible" but at least 32 MHz - 1 UART - RAM and Flash negligeable (1k RAM and 4k Flash would be largely enough). I found the LPC2102 from NXP which almost hit the price mark. I also got the im

Hi: I am working on the receive portion of a driver for the TMS320F2812 UART (SCI). The driver is interrupt driven and uses a software FIFO (which I refer to as the "buffer") to enhance the amount of chars that can be received without loss before being read by user code. There is also the 16-byte hardware FIFO which I call the "FIFO". In the case that there is a FIFO overrun, the...

Hi, I am pretty new to the arena of interrupt handling and would need some help. I am currently using microblaze v4.00a and with Xilinx platform studio 7.1 to develop some UART handling routines. what I am not sure, is 1) whether the important registers (eg, stack pointers and other registers) are saved during an interrupt handling, or do I have to explicitly save them myself.
