Update README.md
Updating in preparation for latest release. Changed a few descriptions and removed some unrelated things.
2020-11-26 23:41:14 -08:00
.settings Fixed bug that screwed up reading after doing an electrical test. 2012-03-04 12:03:02 -08:00
LUFA Updated to LUFA 120219 (with later CDC deadlock patch too) 2012-05-25 19:20:38 -07:00
tests Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00
usb_serial Added ability to tell programmer firmware to selectively unlock chips. 2013-07-04 12:10:18 -07:00
.cproject Added .bin file generation for firmware upload 2012-03-04 17:28:15 -08:00
.gitignore
.project OK -- so I separated the actual port code from the external memory controller code. I think this makes more sense. 2011-11-27 00:01:29 -08:00
cdc_device_definition.c Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00
cdc_device_definition.h Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00
chip_id.h Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00
delay.c Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00
delay.h Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00
Descriptors.c Updated to LUFA 120219 (with later CDC deadlock patch too) 2012-05-25 19:20:38 -07:00
Descriptors.h Continued playing with USB serial stuff. I think it's working well now, but I'm running into problems reading from the SIMM, so I need to figure out why I'm not getting the data I expect. 2011-12-10 10:35:41 -08:00
external_mem.c Added ability to tell programmer firmware to selectively unlock chips. 2013-07-04 12:10:18 -07:00
external_mem.h Added untested support for erasing a specific portion of the SIMM 2012-10-16 18:36:55 -07:00
led.h Added LED toggle to write/read modes. 2012-05-27 15:41:16 -07:00
LICENSE.txt Added GPL license text file. 2012-05-25 22:41:15 -07:00
main.c Added LED toggle to write/read modes. 2012-05-27 15:41:16 -07:00
mcp23s17.c Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00
mcp23s17.h Added GPL header to all of my source files. 2012-05-25 20:21:04 -07:00

programmer_protocol.h Added ability to tell programmer firmware to selectively unlock chips. 2013-07-04 12:10:18 -07:00
README.md Update README.md 2020-11-26 23:41:14 -08:00
SIMMProgrammer-AVRStudio.atsln Added AVR Studio project file for SIMM Programmer firmware 2016-04-25 13:48:59 -07:00
SIMMProgrammer-AVRStudio.cproj Added AVR Studio project file for SIMM Programmer firmware 2016-04-25 13:48:59 -07:00

Description

This project is a bootloader and firmware for a Macintosh ROM SIMM programmer, along with control software for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. The ROM SIMM is compatible with the SE/30, all II-series Macs with a 64-pin SIMM socket (should include the IIx, IIcx, IIci, IIfx, and IIsi), and the Quadra 700.

This particular repository contains the main firmware that runs on the programmer board. The current compiler version used with this project is avr-gcc 4.8.2. Using a different version of gcc may result in worse performance due to some very tight optimization performed on this project to decrease programming time.
