Greetings! For a little background, I'm currently working on a hardware device using 'C' programming of a www.freescale.com HCS08 microcontroller. I'm using the www.processorexpert.com plugin for the www.codewarrior.com IDE. ProcessorExpert is a neat IDE plugin *written in Delphi* for rapid component-oriented embedded application development using properties, methods and events.
The hardware device uses an FTDI USB chip. On the PC we are using a virtual COM port driver ( www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm ) and as that page shows there are drivers for a variety of platforms supported by Delphi and FreePascal. I may be forced with this project to implement DLLs and shared libraries using gcc (the existing main GUI program is cross-platform using Python). This has caused me to become more interested in helping to create an open-source cross-platform program that supports both serial ports and TCP/IP. The recent messages on using Synapse on Win CE (ARM) and Mac OS also helped to push me on this project. At first I'd like to pick a serial device as well as an ethernet device and create cross-platform console programs. Such programs might be good Synapse and Synaser tutorials. The second phase would use Lazarus for database and charting support. For more ideas, here is a Perl program: www.klein.com/thermd/ Here is a list of serial and ethernet devices supported: http://www.klein.com/thermd/devices.shtml Any interest, comments or suggestions? -- Regards, Paul Breneman www.BrenemanLabs.com www.dbReplication.com www.TurboControl.com/TPSupport.htm - TurboPower support links ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
