Benj,

Add 1 additional vote for Freescale Kinetis KL family of parts. My company is adding this set of chips for new platform development. It would benefit me as test engineer to have the flowcode tool for these as well.

Also, I know this is an ARM Debate but are there any plans for AVR32? My ...

Hi Benj,

I'm using PSoC Creator 3.0 only at the moment. My C skills are lacking so I need the training wheels.....

Hi Benj,

Looks like you have had a look at the Cypress PSoC Devices. Yes, they are a kind of hybrid micro/fpga/clpd. I'm just starting with them, but the combination of hardware components and graphical software interface make them very attractive for many smaller projects. The price is right too ...

Cypress is now combining ARM cores with PSoC technology. Perhaps you could add Flowcode functionality to them as well.

Hi Benj,

Ver 6.06 seems to have solved many issues, including this one. Thanks. Good work!

Jeff

Hi Benj,

If I write all 0s or FD to portB after each rx/tx loop the COMMs work without error. Also, I have noticed that the auto clear watchdog status can cause compile errors depending on which delay time you choose. For example, a 10mSec dealy will not compile with the box checked, but a 500mSec ...

Hello Benj,

Downloaded your version of the program and got an error trying to open it..... "Failed to open document. Attribute <start> is not found"

Thanks,
Jeff

Benj,

Thanks for your efforts to resolve this problem, but I still get the same results with the program that I up-loaded to you yesterday. I change the output port from C to B and back again to no avail.
When I use portC the loop runs about 4 times before the COMMs stop working. When I use portB ...

Hi Benj,

Any luck with the datasheet dive? I've been looking into it and it does seem to me that this could be a setup issue. Do you have a lot of Atmel users?

Thanks,
Jeff

Benj,

After downloading your file and re-starting FC, I recompiled the program I just uploaded and got this compiler result....
See attached.

Jeff

Benj,

This program compiled without error, after programming to chip, it worked for a few loops then stopped working........

Let me know if you find anything.

Jeff

Benj,

I know you may find this hard to believe, but when I change the delays back to 1 sec and re-compiled it work without errors. I loaded it into the chip and the blink program is working properly.
I have noticed that I get compiler errors for delays from time to time depending which scale and ...

Hi Benj,
I have the 8MHz int osc selected. the blink test works fine. I did have to use 1000msec as the delay. I receive compiler errors when I choose 1 sec for the delay... I find that odd as well.
I program the device with the JTAGICE3 through Atmel Studio 6.1. I have verified via JTAGICE3 that ...

Hi Benj,
Thanks for the response. I'm re-posting my reply as I don't see the first one. Just got back from Department meeting.
I did indeed use the icon to output to portb. I don't have any devices connected to portB, just the LEDs from the STK500 development board.
I thought the UART is on portD 0 ...

Hi Benj,
Yes I am using the output icon to output to portB. Right now I'm not using any specific component on portb, just testing commands for COMM interface.
Also, I thought the TX/RX were on portD.0&1. The data sheet has a section on how to "override" the alternate functions of portb, but I'm not ...

Hello All,

I'm working with the ATMEGA16A & ATMEGA8515L. The latest patch for FC6 fixed most of the problems I have had while trying to develop a COMM interface (RS232) to control the on-board hardware, but I still have one issue left. It seems that there is a conflict with the alternate PORTB ...
