DeviceNet's EDS
Hello all, I'm making an implementation of DeviceNet. I've created a vendor specific object and one of its attributes is a struct of uint16, uint32 and uint16. It all works ok, but I have a problem when creating EDS: what to put in the data type field for this param in Params section? None of the basic types ap... 12 Mar 2010 03:55

MCC18 / PIC C18 - how to write to internal EEPROM?
I'm new to C and am trying to write a byte to the internal EEPROM in a 18F45k20. I've done this in the past using assembly but now I'm working in C I figure there should be a function for doing this. I've found reference to write_b_eep and read_b_eep on the net but cannot see any reference to these in the M... 12 Mar 2010 10:30

How to run FreeRtos on MSP430
> But I have one more question? How to write ISR for MSP430 using IAR and FreeRTOS. I tried to use #pragma directive but it not works. The problem is that there is no examples of ISR interacting with FreeRTOS. I looked for TickISR in FreeRTOS and it is written in assembly, and I would like to w... 11 Mar 2010 04:32

Defining "firmware quality"
>> What about the concept of achieving higher levels of firmware quality? How we can define it? Number of bugs per LOC? Perceived quality by the final user? Or.... ?
