Debugging and remote access software are still in the making (they will be part of our Development System), but the programming and UART are already out there. You make sure that you use the right EPROMs. You make sure that your kick.rom isnt encrypted. Fire up the EPROM software, select kick.rom and hit PROGRAM. You buy an EPROM programmer, you get the RIGHT adapter -).
Parallel Port Eprom Programmer contains a GNU/Linux driver that controls the eprom programmer throught the parallel port and a tool which allows reading and writing eproms. If the laptop is connected to the Internet, it can establish a connection to your lab, and you can do remote programming/debugging/UART with your chip (or two) from you lab as if it was sitting next to you. « Reply 19 on: June 15, 2006, 11:25:27 PM ». Download Willem Programmer software for Linux for free. Once in the field, your customer uses a simple USB cable (instead of expensive dongle) to connect it to a laptop. Willem EPROM PProgrammer PCB50© and PCB4.5C can support the chip 29/39/49LVxxx (Low Voltage 3.3V). It can program up to 20 - 50 faster than old version of Willem EPROM Programmer have Built-in PLCC32 and PLCC Firmware HUB/LPC on-board. If you do production programming, you simply connect a USB cable and the software automatically programs the board, and possibly runs some test scripts through UART. Hardware & Software Features: The newest Willem EPROM PProgrammer PCB50B©. That is too much for the production board (and you cannot really buy PKOB), but a single small QFN NSDSP chip doing all the same is another story.
Look at the latest MZ DA dev board - Microchip used big PIC24 for PKOB and also FTDI chip for UART, plus 2 USB connectors.
So that you could install them on your production board. For this Enhanced Willem EPROM Programmer, VPP can be configured by just press the VPP setting key. So that to protect this programmer not be damaged by mis-configured VPP jumper. Almost all programmers have a 40 pin socket, 'shorter' EPROMs are just indexed down at the bottom of the socket. Whats new about this Enhanced Willem EPROM Programmer from PCB3B Added isolation circuit (between VPP and pin).
Picmicrocontrolleruser What are the programmed chips for? Any EPROM programmer should work fine, although I personally hate the Willem programmers I use an ancient Needhams PB-10.
