On the other hand, the UART-ISP relies on some software (firmware) running in the controller; so it can have (and does have) errors as any other software; and also the method of its invocation (under various circumstances, wanted or unwanted, etc.) is an issue. Don't you think hardware could be faulty. IMHO Hardware is possibly as bugged as software and is definitly no garantee... Best regards Benjamin Ps : this of course doesn't apply to to the addition of a shift register, but to more complex hardware systems (SoCs) and complex logic chips (CPUs ...) If you still doubt, see first version of pentium class processors 486.+100. = 585.9999 ... (just floor that to understand why it is pentium and not 586) :-) |
