RE: Software in Flash

Dear Paul - This may be a place to start, for you:

App Note 709: Adding An External File System to TINI

Download:   http://pdfserv.maxim-ic.com/en/an/app709.pdf

It also seems to me that Shawn Silverman, had solicited "comment" for (flash
storage\loading) this as a potential product for him.  He has done a very
fine job on the Tynamo web-server for TINI, by the way.  You can find him
here:

http://tynamo.qindesign.com/consulting.html

Also, contact him at: Consulting(at)qindesign(dot)com

IMHO - He does EXCELLENT work!  The Tynamo web-server is "rock-solid"!

Best regards, Kelly Smith

P.S. I am available for consulting, as well!

Subject: [TINI]Software in Flash


Hi,

This one has probably already been answered in some form or another, but
I am at the stage where my app has been developed and all looks OK. I
now have a requirement to deploy the app into flash as the final circuit
does not have a battery back up to the RAM. This is by design as I wish
for the software to do a fresh load whenever re-booted.

I'm guessing that the software needs to be re-compiled with Slush ?? and
loaded into Flash ? This seems to be the way from what I have picked up
(please correct me if not);

The tricky bit is how do I get files into the file system - is there a
way that I can load them also from Flash into RAM on boot up, also if I
store the device config in a file in RAM, is there a way that this can
be 'saved' to Flash for it to reload on next boot up?

Many thanks for your help in advance...


Paul Anderson
