Yes I agree things are slow, especially in the world of every quickening
mouse click rates.
But if you consider that compared to dragging out some other tool, pulling
chips & reading them in EPROM reader etc.... you are miles ahead with the
Fluke already.
Yes I'm interested in what makes a pod a quick test version. I'd like to
see faster ROM/RAM reads.
As to Mark's comment, I belive the solution is a "canned" test program for
your particular board, like the Galaga & Asteroids programs. You don't need
to scratch around & look up memory maps or Fluke checksums. This is my
current struggle, documenting good working boards and then if I ever get the
time write test programs.
Rereading Johns message, I think that is part of his problem too. Once you
have the communication software running (rksic.exe), dropping in a canned
program is pretty quick & then you are running test. Writing & compiling a
program that works properly takes time.
Everyone would be faster with more canned programs....removes the thinking
aspect.
