I use that chip in an old project with an 8051 microcontroller. They are becoming obsolete, I had to switch to the PSD913F if I recall correctly (or maybe the other way around?) I have a couple of the programmers too. They work from the printer port, you are talking about certifiable dinosaurs

Most EEPROMs have I2C or SPI interfaces. Some Flash chips have JTAG. Didier KO4BB On October 10, 2014 4:47:19 PM CDT, Tom Wimmenhove tom.wimmenh...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks Joe! I don't have the clip-ons but of course I could get them. I know the chip has a JTAG interface, but I've only used

It's a chip (PSD813F) which has 1MBit flash, 16Kbit SRAM and 256Kbit EEPROM. It's old school with parallel data/address bus and all that :) It does have JTAG. Regards, Tom On Sat, Oct 11, 2014 at 7:45 AM, Didier Juges shali...@gmail.com wrote: Most EEPROMs have I2C or SPI interfaces. Some

I recently came across a thread on this list about undocumented FE5680 commands. I have been using a little linux command line tool I wrote years ago for tuning the unit and decided to add these commands to it. Since this mailing list was the place I found the unit (someone linked to an ebay

I don't know how crowded the board is, but I would use an SMD DIP clip instead of unsoldering the chip. Joe Gray W5JG On Oct 10, 2014 8:30 AM, Tom Wimmenhove tom.wimmenh...@gmail.com wrote: I recently came across a thread on this list about undocumented FE5680 commands. I have been using a

Thanks Joe! I don't have the clip-ons but of course I could get them. I know the chip has a JTAG interface, but I've only used JTAG with chips that came with a programmer and software :) (except with OpenOCD over parport once, but that was in the stone age). Another question about the EEPROM

I haven't looked at the EEPROM dump, so I can't help you with that. Perhaps someone else can. One place for various adapters to program chips is MCU Mall. I have purchased from them a few times. http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/LeftStart.asp?idCategory=30 It they don't have the size SMD
