| James Brzycki said: My next question is does this setup allow me to program the EPROM through the MCU (I am using a EEPROM not an EPROM) using a serial port No. The MCU would need some code to receive the data from the PC, and some coe do the programming of the EEPROM. This code is known as a "bootloader". But, for the MCU to run that code, it would need to be in the EEPROM - so how are you going to get it there in the first place?! As already noted, (most) modern chips have this "bootloader" facility built-in. no money  The cost of the equipment necessary to program the "bootloader" into the EEPROM would far exceed the cost of a decent modern dev kit! |
