EEPROM Programming

Hi.

I need to burn 18Kbytes of data in an EEPROM (please note that i will be using the IC for storage and not for processing).

I own a E-blocks PICmicro USB Multiprogrammer. Is it possible to use this platform together with PPP to download this data into ANY EEPROM? Or is it just for PICs?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

It is not possible to program an EEPROM directly using PPP.

However it is possible to create a program that will take data from the RS232 port and load it into an EEPROM one byte at a time.

Hyperterminal has a send file function so this could be used to transfer the EEPROM contents.

All your program would have to do is listen to the UART and wait for incoming data, when data is received send the data to the EEPROM and increment the address position. Then repeat.

Flowcode could come in useful here for programming the RS232, I2C or SPI communication.
