I wish all Merry Christmas and a happy New Year 2009.

search SD/MMC socket

Searching desperately 10 pieces of following SD/MMC-sockets in short cover:

  • C&K Components (Cannon ITT) CCM05-5777 or
  • Amphenol GSD09-003-PEU

    • Only for this buying 1500 pieces from DigiKey....?


    11/16/2008:

    AVR32 port of pC/OS

    The port of the pC/OS kernel on AVR32 (UC3A) is now finished too. As toolchain the IAR Embedded Workbench was used.


    10/14/2008:

    update of the RTOS kernel pC/OS

    An additional update of the pC/OS kernel with the new API function OS_EvgPendAbbort().


    10/05/2008:

    MSP430 port of pC/OS

    The port of the pC/OS kernel on MSP430Fxxx is now finished too. As toolchains the ImageCraft, IAR, CrossWorks, TI-CodeComposer and GCC was used.
    But this MCU series is so far for the pC/OS kernel still very tight with RAM. The upcoming MSP430F5xx series promises anyhow much more of it.


    09/01/2008:

    PIC32 port of pC/OS

    The port of the pC/OS kernel on PIC32 is finally finished now. As toolchain the MPLAB-IDE was used.


    07/11/2008:

    update of the RTOS kernel pC/OS

    An additional update of the pC/OS kernel with additional checks & API-functions for timer-service and reduced RAM-consumption of the IPC-resources (SEM/MUX/EVG/Queue/Pipe).


    07/01/2008:

    new version of RTOS kernel pC/OS

    The pC/OS kernel now includes a timer-service too, that can works "fine-tick" too and his timers can run periodical or run-once.
    Additional the memory-manager now works alltimes MPU-spezific aligned. Additional some new API-functions are added.


    05/11/2008:

    LCDs on SAM7SExx_DevMaster

    Two small start-up projects on the operation of the LCD displays EA DOGM163 and EA DOGM128-6 on SAM7SExx_DevMaster added.

    SAM7SExx_DevMaster with DOGM163
    SAM7SExx_DevMaster with DOGM163

    SAM7SExx_DevMaster with DOGM128-6
    SAM7SExx_DevMaster with DOGM128-6


    Both projects includes basic functions for the user for character output, cursor handling, contrast control and simple graphics functions. On EA DOGM128-6 a PWM is also used to control the backlight.


    04/17/2008:

    SAM7SExx_DevMaster ready

    The SAM7SExx_DevMaster is ready. Also, the documentation and a instruction of initiation of the external memory is ready.

    SAM7SExx_DevMaster
    SAM7SExx_DevMaster -board


    By this way also the pC/OS kernel and the modules pC/TFS and all other were ported. The MMC/SD-port has also received an update and now includes a simple DMA example for all AT91SAM7xxx.


    03/16/2008:

    Correction in MMC/SD-port

    A small correction of the MMC/SD-port for HD-MMC cards. This cards will however probably never to buy, as Samsung replied to me the following:
    "We are sorry that 8GB MMC is not going to be produced and MMC is planned to be EOLed soon."


    02/10/2008:

    Update of the MMC/SD-port

    A additional small update of the MMC/SD-port for MMCplus(HS-MMC)- and HD-MMC- cards.


    01/14/2008:

    Update of the MMC/SD-port

    Small update of the MMC/SD-port for older MMC-cards ("early cards") and "not 100% SD-compliant" SD-cards.


    01/06/2008:

    Cortex-M3 STM32 port of pC/OS

    The port of the pC/OS kernel on Cortex-M3 STM32 is now finished. As toolchain the IAR Embedded Workbench was used.
    Small update of the MMC/SD-port plus porting to the Cortex-M3 STM32.

    To final clarify the status of the pC/OS kernel based on the µC/OS 1.00,
    I picked out the old "V1.00 is FREE" confirmation email from Jean Labrosse.
