External programs without EEPROM

Post by Black Larsen »

Hi,

I'm working on a future product usinge FV1 (thanks for this wonderful chip!).
I want to avoid using external EEPROM and send the programs with I2C directly from the main uController to the FV1.
Is it possible?
Where can I find the content of the I2C stream I should send to FV1 to simulate the EEPROM (header, instruction list,...) ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

You can do that just keep in mind you cannot clock stretch.

To make the file just do a SpinAsm project to write a source file, the 8 programs are just sequential (order is 0 to 7) in the resulting code and all are the same size (unused instructions are filled with NOP).

I believe Keith did this in one of the example projects in the knowledge base.
