Re: DNS lookup always timing out

Hi rnixon, I have code that detects if the DHCP call fails and it then sets all the settings to manual. This is really only for standalone units where the user can hook up a laptop with a cross over cable to reprogramme the system through a simplified browser interface. I set a flag indicating if Et...

DNS lookup always timing out

Hi all, I have a call to GetHostByName and it always returns timeout if I set the DNS entry to 0 (docs say to do this to use the allocated DNS) I print out the IP addresses at the start of the application and I can see the DNS entry is valid. Stepping into the code I can see that it is also using th...

Using source from 1 project in another

Hi all, Is it possible to use files from another project as part of an exisiting project? What I have is a project that has 2 different LCD drivers. The LCD displays are different sizes so the main application code would use different graphics images, but the files for these would be the same name a...

Re: NB is it time to expand out to other platforms ?

Just released the no errors (I hope) version of this board to manufacturing to make a couple of prototypes. Hi Paul, how is the testing going with these new boards? I am keen for the new year to look at this for my upgraded design. I am looking to use a 5" LCD 800 x 480 with this and the extra...

Re: Do I need Sem/Mutex for Variables used in Multiple Tasks

Hi, You don't want to be blocking in an interrupt handler. If your variables can be made 32 bit then I would just consider making them volatile and let the compiler wrap them in code that ensures the value is what it should be when you use it. This is how I handle variables in interrupt handlers tha...

Re: convert string into character

Hi there,

It would help if you could explain more of what you want to do with the string?

The main reason for doing something like this is sending bytes to a serial port or other device.

An explanation would help us work out what you need.

Cheers.
Dave...

Re: chip select configuration

Hi Paul Just had a DOH moment. It was the logic threshold in the analyser settings and setting this to te correct level gives good clean signals. Everything is clean edges and signals. Still can't get the LCD controller SSD1693 to read back. Writing is fine. Have emailed the LCD manufacturer for ass...

Re: chip select configuration

Hi Paul, Sorry, I should have stated I was using the MOD5234 I don't have the TA connected externally to the module and I assume it has an internal pullup to prevent erroneous operation? If I single step the code I get randomly the short bus cycle. Running at full speed and letting the analyser cycl...

Re: chip select configuration

I seem to have it working now but I can't seem to get reliable reads from the bus. I have configured with 15 wait states as a starter and will trim this down once I get it working. In the attached images you will see the issue I am getting during read of write. I seem to be getting glitches on the C...

chip select configuration

Hi all, I am having some issues getting memory access to a graphics controller. I have 2 LCD displays with 16 bit bus and 6800 mode interface signals. I have one working well 100% of the time. It is using the SSD2119 from Solomon Systech and works fine with the following chip select configuration. D...
