New PM CPU!

Sunday, June 25th, 2006 at 04:06

I wrote a few macros for DarkFaders assembler that allow to use unlimited (almost :) ) 16 bit registers without any limitations!

This set of macros provide the easiest way to code for PM without any restrictions! The program flow instructions aren’t complete yet, but i wrote an example that shows how easy the instructions are to use!

See for yourself how easy PM coding can get:

MP3 player project

Sunday, June 4th, 2006 at 01:54

Today i have ordered most of the parts to build my MP3 player, only the special crystal is hard to get and it will take a while until i find someone who can order it from DigiKey (i can test without it anyways).

Current status of the player can be seen in these images:
<removed, old shit…>

Board size is 3,5×5 cm. The controller does the decoding and should work at 48 MHz (55 MHz is max). RS-MMC is the storage media of choice for this player because of its small physical dimensions. The input will be done with a 4 way + 1 button mini joystick!

I can’t wait to get this thing running! (if it works at all :) )

Currently i only have the power management ICs, RS-MMC card slot, DAC and ARM microcontroller here.
