RE: [oc] EEPROM Programmers using FPGAs?

["Paul McFeeters" <paul.mcfeeters@ntlworld.com>]

Thanks Alasdair,

 

was really thinking more about something like this http://www.mikeg2.freeserve.co.uk/eprom/

£15 for an EPROM programmer and an eraser made from a £5 torch sounds more like me. I'm

cost-effective.

 

Its handy as he made it to program 27c801 chips, 8mbit (1M x 8bit configuration) which are the ones

I am going to use for my ucLinux project so how handy is that?

 

Paul

Take a look at www.hed.de or www.hed-software.com. He sells eprom programmers for very reasonable prices and the support is excellent. If you are looking at a commercial project then you don't want to burn time lashing together your own.

Good luck in the commercial world!!

Hi,

I was recently looking at buying an EEPROM programmer for my first commercial hardware project
and was surprised to see the price of them. Being frugal (Irish) I don't see why I shouldn't
just use one of my FPGAs to program the EPROMs so I just thought I would ask if anybody has
heard of this being done before or has any helpful views/ideas for it. It might make a nice
new OC project?
