It used to be pretty straight forward to assign a net to a hidden pin of a component using the right-click property menus. However, this function has been relocated to…
The scope of the OpenRISC project is so extensive that it covers wild range of areas including processor architecture, implementation with register transfer language, simulation tool, synthesis tool, and tool-chain…
Computer vision cameras come with extremely small size without too much compromise on image quality. They fill in the holes of a wide range of applications that conventional photography cameras…
Bootloader must be designed to be very reliable. In other word, bootloader is an unsung hero carrying out its job when necessary. It shouldn’t be replaced or destroyed at anytime.…
If you have read my previous post about how to extract useful data from INTE HEX32 format hex file, you are just one step away from being able to burn…
A big improvement of dsPIC33e series micro-controller from its predecessors is the re-mappable peripheral IO. This allows great flexibility for circuit board design, but also requires slightly more efforts to use…
If you have read my “Designing bootloader for Microchip dsPIC33E/PIC24E micro-controller(2)” of this series, you should be able to extract all the necessary information from the hex file compiled by…
In my last post “Designing bootloader for Microchip dsPIC33E/PIC24E micro-controller (1)“, I talked about some basics of bootloader and picked up one of the architectures as my solution, which is…
When speaking about good bootloader product for Microchip’s various MCU product series, I put my two cents in “ds30 Loader” from Mikael Gustafsson. However, “ds30 Loader” is no longer available…
