Working with I2C bus

Image
The I2C bus was designed by Philips in the early 80 to allow easy communication between components which reside on the same circuit board. Philips Semiconductors migrated to NXP in 2006. Sometimes the bus is called IIC or I²C bus. This has features  like :  Only two bus lines are required No strict baud rate requirements like for instance with RS232, the master generates a bus clock Simple master/slave relationships exist between all components Each device connected to the bus is software-addressable by a unique address I2C is a true multi-master bus providing arbitration and collision detection Operation: The I2C bus uses two lines called Serial Clock Line (SCL) and Serial Data Lines (SDA). Both lines are pulled high via a resistor (Rpu) as shown in Figure below. The interface uses 8 bit long bytes, MSB (Most Significant Bit) first, with each device having a unique address. Any device may be a Transmitter or Receiver, and a Master or Slave. The Slave is any device addressed by t...

Interfacing I2c EEPROM

Image
24LC512 is a 64K x 8 (512 Kbit) Serial EEPROMs(Electrically Erasable), from Microchip Technology Inc. (see the product page) . It has been developed for advanced, low-power applications such as personal communications and data acquisition. This device also has a page write capability of up to 128 bytes of data. This device is capable of both random and sequential reads up to the 512K boundary. Functional address lines allow up to eight devices on the same bus, for up to 4 Mbit address space. This is an example how to interface 24XXX EEPROMs with 8051. Best way is t0 use SDCC as C Compiler. the abobe schematic will be sufficient .  sample code  &    header  Datasheet - 24LC512 [pdf]

co-linux network setup with vista for putty

 there was  some  problem with co-linux DHCP enabled ,   while i loaded to vista HP , hence i did a static IP setting as follows: i have created eth1 interface to use the TAP adapter - i tried with ping ,read the colinux site ,did static IP , all dint work -i got clue that the TAP will allow access ,using slirp is lil tough -made a colinux.conf.txt from example.conf.txt added 1 more adapter with MAC 00:ff:00: ... -but fedora8 network settings are diffrrent ..sorted out added /etc/sysconfig/cfg-eth1 ,edited /etc/sysconfig/cfg-eth1 -in (vista)network connections ,EDITED the "TAP co-linux "adapter properties in IPv4 setting selected use the following IP :192.168.42.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 - i have disabled the vista firewall .....huh ! finally i was able to ping vista -------------> 192.168.42.10(TAP) vista ------------->192.168.42.10(TAP) ---->192.168.42.2(colinux-eth1,new interface) - added new liste...

Co- linux runs while vista running ...a full bodied linux ...may practice driver development immediately after boot..no partitioning ,no shutdown reboot required. the process to install the co-linux is outlined as following: --Download co-linux intaller exe :small one may be 2mb use ID Manager.exe to download,from the colinux sourceforge site ---it will prompt for the filesytem image download... --select c:\coLinux as path --in the default....Xml file change the paths for img file if in tht directory img file [>1Gb] is not there [mycase] then manually download the selfextracting rootfile system,Use IDM i downloaded Fadora ..6..exe extract to c:\colinux will give a  img file ---now edit Start-Fedora-6.bat  and give proper path for image like c:/coLinux/...img save and run the bat file from command prompt ---ignore and allow on warnings --DONE! now to get the  gcc  use  yum install gcc.i386 .... it will download and  install  the gcc compiler set Enjoy ! 

Basics of Linux Device drivers

Image
As there is lott of demands in the industry for linux professionals, a lott of software engineers have taken the learning path of linux internals as way to a successful career. Notes: I will periodically update this series of posts,as time becomes available to me. Resources: There are various resources available over the internet to assist your learning of driver development.I recommend please go through Linux Device Drivers book by CORBET and RUBINI 3rd Ed ,because this new edition contains updated info related to latest kernel 2.6.x. Device driver writers are expected to be  very proficient in C programming and now-a-days  in C++ too so make sure you develop a good practice in coding using these languages.Rest assured I will guide you to have a deep plunge into the oscean of device drivers. Add image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others! Device Drivers : These represent a sofware layer that is mostly used for hardware abstraction.That means the layer provides a unified mecha...

TIPS TO DOUBLE LAPTOP BATTERY LIFE

Image
Notebook Battery Life Most often used in notebook batteries of two types: lithium ion and nickel-metal Hydride (NiMH). Your notebook may give you a good freedom feeling on your travels for 3 or even more hours, but once the battery runs out, so does the freedom. If you travel not once a year, keep a spare notebook battery so that you'll never miss a important fair. A few simple rules can doubled battery life and make them safer: New battery before normal use must be trained, with a complete charge - discharge of 5-6 cycles / charging. To use the training mode bysroy batteries discharge: unplug the notebook from the wall outlet and turn it on. Use some active programme like scandisk for continuous operation. Lithium-ion batteries are particularly sensitive to heating. To avoid potential fire them should not be exposed to prolonged direct sunlight, for example, leaving the car in the cabin.

This helps extend the amount of play time that you get from your iPod Shuffle. Step2## Allow the iPod Shuffle to fully charge and you will improve the battery life. Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable, to a point. After about 400 charge cycles, the battery may have trouble storing as much charge.

ViewSonic22 " LCD with DVD player

Image
We still haven't been able to shake the ViewSonic dragon from our memory, but we're attempting to move on with our lives by directing our attention (however briefly) to the N2201w. This so-called "3-in-1" LCD TV packs a 22-inch 1,680 x 1,050 resolution panel, a 5-millisecond response time, 1,000:1 contrast ratio and a built-in NTSC / ATSC / QAM TV tuner. You'll also find an integrated DVD player and an HDMI port, and just to prove it really is multifaceted, there's a PC input to boot. No telling if the picture quality is anything to write home about, but the $429 price tag sure is palatable.
