#139520 - relative cost
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hi Pathipati,

And what is the relative cost of 5 to 10 minutes of phone time compared to sending a technician on a field trip, or producing and distributing media (floppies or CDs or whatever)? If the 5 to 10 minutes of phone time is prohibitive, I don't see it.

As for modularizing the code for programming purposes, everything I've ever written for an 805x, whether written as a single ASM file of as a host of C++ modules, upon compilation was reduced to a single Intel Hex file for the bootloader to program. I've never had an occasion where I had to program separate modules into the same chip, and I don't know how I could make it that way if I wanted.

That said, you might look into IAP (In Application Programming) commands available with some derivatives. These will allow your code to reprogram the FLASH while running in the 805x. That may accomplish what you seem to be aiming for.

Joe
