Re: SuperPRO as a component

Bruce, Let me amp that up. Our projects are almost all "one-offs", so we often don't etch a board for the 'main board', choosing rather to mount the parts on perf-board and wire-wrap or do point-to-point soldering. That said, we use the SuperPro as a plug-in 'component' on many assemblies. It's a SU...

Re: ARMmite motherboard

Bruce,
I guess I'm not "up" on Eagle devices. I thought Eagle was a PCB layout package.

What would be the advantage of this, over (say) an Arduino-compatible layout?

Re: archpro stop action

olzeke51 - off to work
PS - I'll try the END command (when I get home) for giggles. the mbed might have a different interface with the chip and such.

Well, Gary... The button issue (by itself) sounds like it's amenable to being solved by your prior suggestion for my reset issue.

Re: forced reboot of SuperPro

BTW... it turns out that Bruce already defined all those registers for us. Here are the defs from LPC17xx.bas (from BASICLIB) #define WDG_BASE_ADDR &H40000000 #define WD_WDMOD *(WDG_BASE_ADDR + &H00) #define WD_WDTC *(WDG_BASE_ADDR + &H04) #define WD_WDFEED *(WDG_BASE_ADDR + &H08) #define WD_WDTV *(...

Re: Reset vector from BASIC

I finally got into a project that made me implement a software reboot of the SuperPro. This works nicely. #define WDMOD *&H40000000 ' watchdog mode register #define WDFEED *&H40000008 ' watchdog timer feed register, must get an "AA" followed by a "55" to work #define WDTC *&H40000004 ' watchdog time...

Re: forced reboot of SuperPro

I didn't have any i/o pins available to assert an external interrupt, even if it supported it. I could have always hard-wired it on the board. But I like being able to force it from (purely) software. As Bruce demonstrated in another thread, just jumping to the boot ROM start didn't accomplish a 'fu...

forced reboot of SuperPro

I had a need to force the (near) equivalent of a hardware reset on the SuperPro. It doesn't directly support it by any means except a few of the interrupts. With a bit of niggling, I got this to work. Addresses might change on other NXP chips. I'm using the standard BASICTools poke equivalents. Lloy...

Re: ArchProweb.bin comm error

Yup, that did it. I have to employ another step with my main-board (master) controller. The Dongle has been modified for use as a fourth UART port, and employs a re-flash of the FTDI chip and "legacy" control signals to use BASICTools. As a result, after having gone through all the setups to change ...

Re: ArchProweb.bin comm error

Ok, thanks! Now I won't have to fiddle that out for myself.

Now, the million dollar question.... Did that solve your problem?
