alexglvr Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

philetaylor Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 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. Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I will have to nearly reprogram the entire MIOS but i am used to PIC development... Cheers, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that might be the reason :) In case you haven't seen it, this has been discussed before: Cheers Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
