Hello,
I am planning on designing on a flash programmer. My only experience with this level of digital electronics was when I built the official GB Flasher, which actually uses an FTDI chip to do serial communications UART over USB to the micro controller.
I heard about those native USB microcontrollers out, the AT90USBxxx devices. What I was wondering is, would I want to investigate more into this device or some different way of flashing a memory chip? Are there any different ways besides serially? Or should I just stick to the FTDI method. Either way, I have to learn entirely about the method.
Moving on, one of my gripes with the flashing of the memory is how long it takes to do so. Is the FTDI and baud rate responsible for such slow operation? I'm talking, not out of my ass, but a little outside my knowledge. Either way, I am keen on finding a faster method of flashing the memory, I just hope it is not outside the scope of my time and learning.
Thanks for the help dudes,
anything works, appreciate it!
