MSP-FET430UIF, IAR Kickstart:
I am having the same failure to start problem. The devices worked fine last summer on this computer but now Windows reports "Cannot start this hardware" Code 10 and I get the yellow exclamation mark by the driver. Windows XP is up-to-date with all the downloaded "fixes". I have tried uninstalling and reinstall... 21 Apr 2007 01:00

Who is working with the SAM9263?
I am looking at using the SAM9263 and noticed that they use a 16.36766 MHz crystal rather than the 18.432 they use on the SAM7 eval boards. Anyone know why they picked this value? Do they use this value on the other SAM92xx eval boards? In general, what are your experiences with these parts? ... 2 Apr 2007 22:34

Speed/power tradeoff in ARMs
I am looking a a project for a portable device, not a lot different from a PDA in terms of design. I would like to compare some of the ARM9 processors for performance vs. battery life to see just how much horsepower is compatible with a moderate battery size. I see that Atmel and Philips have new parts out. The ... 20 Mar 2007 17:30

Software debugging tools for custom micro-controller core
I am looking for a tool chain for a new custom micro-controller. The core has a very basic instruction set and doesn't have to be C- programmable. Still, the software is complicated enough, that we would like to have primitive debug capabilities at least. Features needed: -assembler -linker(possibly) -source... 22 Mar 2007 05:17

MSP430 Flash Emulation Tool: problems with connection via parallel port
V. strange, but this might be the problem: MSP430F13x/14x/15x/16x Flash Emulation Tool MSP-FET430P140 http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/folders/print/msp-fet430p140.html it seems that our target processor: MSP430F1612 **is NOT** listed under Related Products which is very strange, I'd have thought MSP-FET430... 9 Mar 2007 21:22

dsPic questions
I have some questions about the dsPic and environment: /*Declare constants/coefficients/calibration data to be stored in DataEEPROM */ int _EEDATA(32) fooArrayInDataEE[] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0xA,0xB,0xC,0xD,0xE,0xF}; It is working, but i am just curious what is that (32)? :-) In other code samples it's ... 2 Mar 2007 00:41

8051 to DVI interface?
I am working on an 8051-based project that needs a display. Normally I would just use a small character- based LCD display, but in this case I am thinking of going with something a bit more impressive; a standard flat-panel PC monitor. This is a small-volume project with no particular cost, space, env... 20 Feb 2007 21:40

CRC calculation
for the moment I struggle with the modbus protocol checksum what seems to use a quite odd 16 bit CRC polynom 0xA001. I have no idea if my ATmega assembly code works correct becouse its responsible for both directions generation and test same time and for the moment I do not have further modbus certificated devices.... 3 Feb 2007 09:02
