Netburner doesn't have threads as such. What you have is UCOS tasks. Check in the examples directory under UCOS ofr OSMultiTaskUserInput as this shows how it is done. Be careful with your priorities with UCOS. Lower priority tasks will not run unless higher priority tasks yield (I use OSTimeDly() ca...

Nice work. I was just going to post asking about how to do low power on the MOD5234 when I did a search and found this. As my app is batttery powered and not needed to be on full speed all the time, this will be perfect.

Thanks a lot. I am beginning to see the Netburner light now!! )

Hi Chris, Is this a mono LCD? Can you give a part no. so we can see the interface for it? If it is, then the S1D13700 from Epson is a likely controller that you can hook up to the Netburner modules. You can also use the RA8835 from RAiO in Taiwan which is a replacement for the older Epson SED1335 bu...

I see from the software that there is a choice to set the UART for the PPP connection to any one of the 3 built in com ports. I was wondering if it is possible to use an eTPU serial port for a PPP connection? At present I am testing with UART2 but I need to support a second modem on another com port...

If you use a GSM modem then you can send SMS messages easily without the need to be connected to the internet. All you need is a serial RS232 port. If you use text mode your code is easy to develop but you are limited to about 140 or so characters. With PDU mode you get the full 160 characters but t...

With having many surface mount parts on my main board i cringe when i insert the MOD boards as i feat one day the force it takes to insert it will flex the board in a way to loosen or even crack a SM part near the connector. Not so much the SMD parts with pins, but the processor being BGA is where ...

Thanks RG. This is handy but there seems to be a lack of documention for these functions. I would also like to see the code for the CPLD as it would be nice to expand on this too if need be. I am currently looking to interface a low end Xilinx FPGA to the Netburner to add some specialised interfacin...

Hi there, I have searched all the documents and I can't find anything on the use of the LED display (7 segment) on the dev board. I can see that it is connected via the databus but no reference to how to drive it. I can't find any examples for it either. I was also wondering if the CPLD code for the...

Hi all,

I am waiting on some 3V3 RS485 drivers to come in and then I will have a go at trying to work this out. If there was only a way to know when the eTPU buffer was empty, it would simplify matters considerably.

Dave...

Yeah, I know about controlling it. What I need is a way of knowing if the transmit buffer is empty so that I can then do the RS485 TX/RX switching in my code. At this time, I am still looking to see how to know this information. I am going to check out the info from RG later.

Cheers,
Dave...
