Responding to: ???'s previous message

FPGA software will allow you to specify a given output for a given input and will simplify the logic for you.

List some. I would like to download and try it.


Here's a suggestion :- since you have most of the stuff you need, build a eeprom programmer.


As I have said on this site about 5 times, I do NOT want to make a separate programmer, because then I have to remove the rom everytime I change the code, and the chances of me changing code are high.


That way you can load bootloader code into your eeprom with ease.

Now that is just going to complicate things. (2 eeproms?)



If all hell breaks loose and you loose the bootloader, you'll have to remove the eeprom chip, put it into your eeprom programmer, reprogram and put it back.

This is Exactly what I dont want.

What I want happening under the worst case scenario is for the system to allow programming, even if all the eeproms were not programmed or even not inserted. I do not want to depend on an EEPROM for programming operations.
