#174996 - eeprom or host Responding to: ???'s previous message |

From what I have read on here and other research it seems that one of the best ways to get around this would be to follow the advice of using an external eeprom to store the hex file and initiate programming of the target MCU with the host. The target then reads the eeprom for the hex data. Now you mix two separte ideas to complicate matters. With an eeprom you don't need a host. You can also initiate programming on detection of the eeprom at startup or when a certain key(combination) is pressed or when chosen in your menu. Eric Demaur said:
I am however still stuck on the serial bootloader aspect of this and how it is implemented. Would anyone be able to give me an example of how this works. Sorry for the lack of knowledge in this area but I am really not used to this type of work. If your device has a serial bootloader or you write one yourself using IAP, you can use a host to initiate the programming and provide the data. No need for an eeprom then. |
