uTasker for NE64 - interesting new information

Hi All
 
To all users of the NE64 who do not know about the uTasker yet, there is a new interesting document available at the following link which you may find interesting (also those who do know it but are not yet signed up users).
 
 
It is a tutorial for the new version, based on the DEMO9S12NE64 board, including all set up, downloading and debug tools required. The simulator works without the target board, allowing the simulated NE64 project to run in real time - the demo project includes a useful web server application which will run on the network.
 
Reading the tutorial should give a clear picture of what it can do so I won't write more details here. The demo project supports CodeWarrior [Lite version adequate since TCP/IP stack is very compact], IAR and GNU projects for anyone interested in comparisons, including a compare of the project and different IP protocol code sizes (comparison in document above).
 
If you are doing non-commercial projects (educational, hobby) then the uTasker is available free, including free email support so don't worry. Check out the licensing terms at the following link and simply request an educational licence (valid for hobby work) to join the growing uTasker community.
 
 
As you may know, freescale has just introduced the new Coldfire MCF5223x processors which are effectively footprint compatiable to the NE64 (including EMAC and EPHY) and the uTasker port is underway to this device. This means that any NE64 project using the NE64 will also later run on the new Coldfire by compiling for the new target with the predefined uTasker Coldfire project. Expect the uTasker for Coldfire to be available in about early June 2006.
 
Don't be shy, there are no catches - just a fun operating system and TCP/IP stack using a practical real-time simulator. You may be surprised what it can do...
 
Best regards

Hello Mark Butcher,

In your document  you tell us page 8 "Later on I will explain how you can convert your DEMO9S12NE64 into a BDM".

I'm very interesting with those explanations.
Can you expose us some guidelines in order to build this BDM pod?

Thanks a lot,

Guillaume SEMPE

Hi All

Please note that up to date documentation and information about the uTasker project can be found on the uTasker web site www.uTasker.com.

From the beginning of July 2007 the uTasker has its own forum for discussions and questions!!

Hi All

Just a quick note to say that the uTasker forum has gone line today (9.7.2007).

There is a Freescale M9S12NE64 forum category and you are all most welcome to check it out or become an active forum member.

Regards

Hello Mark,

You should provide more security for your web server.
There are some directories containing µTasker source codes. Most of the zip files are password protected but one is not!
I think you don't want to give it away for free :smileywink:

Cheers,

Hi Pittbull

Thanks for pointing that out. However we do give aways hundreds of (free) uTasker software packages to individuals and educational establishments. Software can usually be stolen if required (who hasn't... apart from me or course...) but code is not the only issue. The uTasker is fully supported for registered users and of course commercial license holders, and this support has the highest value.

The software is also continuously being developed and registered users (free non-commercial or commercial license holders) can continuously profit from new features - a uTasker users' news letter keeps everyone informed.

I will go check for that file - it may be the package with the BIG BUG in it...;-) [it jumps up and bites any thieves in the ***]

Cheers

Mark
