More ARM success

Jun 01, 2009 23:05

I've now added the all-important LED to the ARM chip, and made it flash. It's a yellow one. More importantly, the code resides in Flash ROM and starts up as soon as power is applied, which is much more like the AVR chips that I'm used to on the Arduino and elsewhere. Now I'm going through the rather long process of reading the chip's user manual before attempting very much more coding. One thing I'll need to master is setting up the clock PLL (phase-locked loop) so that the chip runs at the highest possible speed.

Sunday's car boot sale yielded an Evolution MK-7 MIDI keyboard and a later version of the Mashed game for PS/2. Still no sign of any fine old 8-bit computers, but there was a Commodore Amiga with a selection of games.
