Hi guys, Seb,

My thoughts (based on your info, my previous messages and info from Matt)

- You, Rob and Matt all have a personal methode to generate samples
and I guess it is unlikely there will be one method to suit all needs.
- The jallib sample generation method is hardly used any more now
Albert seems to be gone and I have little time.
- It is easy to regenerate samples with the jallib method to keep them
updated and expand for new samples/devices. However, functionality is
limited to 2 code blocks.
- AFAIK there is no easy method to detect/remove previous generated
samples that are not regenerated. This gives a risk of outdated (still
compilable though) samples.

Not as rare as you suggest while a limited set of chips serves most of
the projects, especially for people with limited experience with
jallib. I see quite a few samples for one to three chips. See the
analysis Kiste and I did. Delivering those for the 7 most relevant
chips with board files, you'd probably cover 95% of the need.

Point is that the multiplication principle of the sample generation
added  synergy to the effort spent on samples by different people. I
see such a synergy with Rob's method in the sense that he is able to
create each new sample for many chips.
Anyway, the jallib generation method is becoming obsolete and at first
I thought eliminating it could give some synergy to an other methode.
Giving it a second (and third ;) thought, I doubt it will.

I'll think about a method to detect outdated generated samples and
will still be creating board and test files for my on purpose (that
is, development & testing) and as a result some new samples might be
created.

A web page like you describe sound okay. Hard to predict if it will be
used though...

Joep
