I am in for one Olimex-Micro. For anyone in the US, Mouser has them listed for $25.
This may not make sense to others (including the wife), but I've always wanted to build a "computer" capable of running Linux. And by build I mean design the board layout, fabricate the board, hand solder the cpu, memory and passives and then get Linux to boot to a usable environment. With this chip I may actually be able to do it.
I looked at the data sheet for VR1, it stated current and thermal limiting. I would have assumed that would prevent the part from frying from a short. Or does the limit feature not always guarantee part survival?
[quote author="ian"] Any testing is sincerely appreciated. This release includes the test files and utility again. [/quote]
Upgraded my v2 hardware with no issue so far. Works the same as it did before, however I am only using the IRtoy for receiving signals under lirc so no other modes were tested.
sudo ./ols_fwloader -f APP -P /dev/ttyACM0 -V -t BIN -w /Downloads/ols-0308/OLS_Upgrader/FPGAROM/logic_sniffer_3.07-Demon-Core.bit Found OLS HW: 1, FW: 3.0, Boot: 2 Error - unknown flash type (ef 40 14 00) Is OLS in update mode ?? Unable to read Flash ID Unable to open OLS
I guess I have the latest PIC firmware, but I am unable to tell what FPGA version is loaded. I thought I remember reading somewhere that the new boards were shipping with a newer flash chip.
