PIC EEPROM

Hello,

The PIC based core uses a PIC18F452 which has 256 bytes of EEPROM Memory.

I was wondering if this EEPROM was mandatory to build a midibox?

If yes, could you please tell me what is it used for?

Thank you for your help,

Alex

You do not need to add any EEPROM.. it is already inside the PIC.

As far as I can tell, MIOS does not use the EEPROM for anything.

it DOES use the 8 bytes marked as "ID Locations" to designate the core ID, display and communications type, and IIC address. The correct values for those addresses can be worked out from the app at SmashTV's website.

For the most common uses, the eight ID bytes should be set to zero.

Have Fun,

Ok so with some modification using a PIC with NO EEPROM memory should work...

Which PIC do you want to use?

MIOS supports the PIC18F452, PIC18F4620 and PIC18F4685. Any other PIC device would require possibly significant changes to MIOS.

I would like to use a PIC with USB 2.0 capabilities... I know I will have to nearly reprogram the entire MIOS but i am used to PIC development...

Cheers,

Alex
