My network DLM will work on the 3700 also. http://shdesigns.org/rabbit/ It
is also about the only one that will work on a RCM3200.

My web downloader does that. The Rabbit checks a web page for updates. If a

newer version is available, it downloads the latest. There are several
options, one its to copy to an unused area of flash and then copy over main

flash. The second is to use external storage (i.e. SF1000 or serial flash
on 3700.)

Mine now handles the RCM3200, but if web-updating is necessary, buy the one
from Scott; mine doesn't do that.

The RCM3700 hat 1 512k RAM (on CS1) and 1 512k Flash (on CS0). A18

The max user block size is 8k.

Saving to external flash (or unused flash area) has advantages as you main code can still run (DLM runs as a cofunc.) This will be a big plus for slow ppp-dialup boards.

The 3700 support for external serial flash is one of the last things to finish testing. I hope to have this out is the next few weeks.

The web download should be real easy to manage. Just update a web server and all boards update themselves automatically.

Hello Robert,

that would be great !

The RCM3700 hat 1 512k RAM (on CS1) and 1 512k Flash (on CS0). A18
is inverted to access both banks.

The max user block size is 8k.

I think also about the possibility to save the binary via http
upload into the serial flash (1MB). Upload and storage to the serial
flash was easy. Now im stuck with the program which copies the
binary into normal flash (the DLM). I cant get it loaded into ram
and started from there yet.

If you tell me the user block size, I can compile mine to work for the
RCM3700. I also need to know how the 512K is configured (someone from ZW
may need to reply)--one chip with A18 changed, or two chips and accessed
with the CS line.

The DLM.ZIP file in the files section doesn't include a binary file for the
RCM3700, but I can create one for you. ----------

Hello all,

does anyone know a DLM which works with the RCM3700 ? I can't use
the example because the application is larger than 256k. Im aware
that there are some solutions around, but has anyone tested these
with the RCM3700 and can give some feedback ?
Thanks in advance.
