Bus Pirate Support / CPLD
I tried to follow the instructions on the tutorial. but instead of continuing to write i get an error 03 - and said that the device was not responding.

what could have gone wrong? i just copied the wirings for the CPLD board im using the xilinx 9572XL in PLCC package. Is there any special considerations?

btw i got to the part where it says

Sending 4096 bytes (1000)....ok

do i need a crystal to program the CPLD?

what does the XL in 9572XL stand for i saw a chip with just 9572 what could be the difference?

Thanks,

Philip

General discussion / Mass storage device
Hi guys,

I need to interface an MMC/SD card to a computer similar to what an SD card reader does where i could view the SD card as a Mass Storage Device. Any advice on how i could implement this in an MCU?

Thanks

General discussion / CPLD-PAL-Programming for beginners
Hi All!

Its been a while. I have a query for you guys..

is there a low cost way that I could program a PAL 16L8 and a CPLD? what is the programming method? JTAG?most of the stuff i see in the web is either expensive or uses a parallel port. COuld you please suggest on the best approach that I should use?tools for doing this? i have my eye on winCUPL from atmel..any suggestions?
-I have seen lots of CPLD projects on the forum but dunno where to start.

btw about the logic sniffer..is it capable of getting data from a parallel ADC and dump them in an array that I could manipulate in VB or python? i have a project that involves an old ADC..parallel 16bit SAR from 1996..got a bunch of them and im  trying to build a demo platform to teach students how to get SNR using an ADC and FFT.. hope you guys could help..

Thanks,
Philip

Bus Pirate Support / BusPirate for a newbie
Hi all!

I already used my bus pirate to communicate through UART,SPI and I2C but there things that I want to learn and Im finding it hard to find the references for these topics:

BusPirate as an AVR programmer -- tutorial?
BusPirate Binary programming i would like to automate reading from i2c

lots of you guys uses linux are there topics that could guide me in doing stuff in windows im usng winxp and 7


I hope this wouldnt be much of a bother

Project development, ideas, and suggestions / SIM cards as memory for MCU
i have though of this early this morning, i dont really know if its feasible or even useful.

The idea is that i would like to use a SIM card (from a cellphone) as a memory element on my projects,
if the simcard has 32k of space, it would be enough to hold previous data, and the sorts, also it could be
used as a storage for settings.

Can anyone comment on this?
Is there any circuit, project or library for interfacing sim cards into an MCu?
