Thanks for the links. These seem interesting. I have noted too what Shawn Rutledge has given---thank you too. I add these that I finally found (not easily) in France. From Microchip, the expensive: https://www.mouser.fr/ProductDetail/494-MPFSICICLE-KITES and this: https://www.mouser.fr/ProductDetail/Microchip-Technology/MPFS-DISCO-KIT?qs=mELouGlnn3f1eYzoy8b3wQ%3D%3D If someone has a technical advice (in the hardware area, I'm a beginner) about whether the expensive one is justified because it will allow far more information for debugging, testing etc. I will gladly listen. -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ kergis +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://kertex.kergis.com/ http://nunc-et-hic.fr/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T06718162d07aded1-M3307714de55bdcdf274a2a23 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
