Please share this announcement with those who may be interested. We would be most grateful. Thank you, Pao-Ann Hsiung, Yean-Ru Chen and Chao-Sheng Lin *CALL FOR CHAPTERS * *Multicore Hardware-Software Design and Verification Techniques* *http://embedded.cs.ccu.edu.tw/ebook4MC/* ** *Motivation*** The surge of multicore processors coming into the market and on users=92 desktops has made parallel computing the focus of attention once again! At this focal point of urgency and immaturity, this e-book is being put forwar= d as a platform for immediate collection of state-of-the-art technologies in both hardware and software designs for multicore computing. It will be of immense help to system and software engineers, including both experts and non-experts in parallel computing because this e-book will be a singular source of reference to the state-of-the-art techniques in multicore processor design and software programming that covers multiple application domains. ** * * *Introduction* The pervasion of multicore processors in the computing systems has created an urgent need for the accumulation of research results and best practices related to the design and verification of multicore hardware and software. With this goal in mind, this e-book is intended to be a reference work or a textbook for both the undergraduate and graduate students and the engineers working in the industry. Chapter contributions that are self-contained are invited on any related topics, which include, but are not limited, to the following. n Multicore Processor Architecture Design n Multicore System Software Design n Performance Estimation Methods and Tools for Multicore Systems n Power Estimation and Power Saving for Multicore Systems n Modeling and Verification Methods for Multicore Systems n Electronic System Level Design Techniques for Multicore Systems *Important Dates* Chapter submission deadline: March 31, 2010 First notification date: April 30, 2010 Revised version submission deadline: May 15, 2010 Final notification: May 31, 2010** * * *Chapter Format* *For more detailed information, please check* *http://www.bentham.org/ebooks/eBkAuthGuide.htm* ** I. The title should be precise and brief and must not be more tha= n 120 characters. The title should be all caps with font size of 14 pt bold. Authors should avoid the use of non-standard abbreviations. The title must be written in little case except for chapters, conjunctions and preconditions. Authors should also provide a short =91running title=92. II. The abstract should not exceed 250 words and it should condense the essential features of the chapter, with the focus on the major advances in the field. 10 pt letter should be used for the text in the abstract. III. HEADINGS: The typeset version of the chapter differentiates betwee= n different levels of heading by use of spacing, centering/ranging left, varying type size, italicization, emboldening, etc. While preparing a chapter the authors should ensure that various levels of heading are clearl= y distinguishable. This can be achieved by either using typographical differences such as bold, italic, bold+italic etc., or by numbering the headings. As a general guide, headings should be numbered only when this is necessary for cross-referencing but use only one of the two approaches throughout the eBook. The headings should follow a logical hierarchy. Five is considered the maximum number of levels of heading. IV. TEXT: The chapter should be written in English in a clear, direct and active style. All pages must be numbered sequentially, facilitating in the reviewing and editing of the chapter. The style of the chapter must be uniform throughout the text and 12 pt Times New Roman fonts should be used. The full term for an abbreviation should precede its first appearance in th= e text unless it is a standard unit of measurement. The reference numbers should be given in square brackets in the text. Italics should be used for Binomial names of organisms (Genus and Species), for emphasis and for unfamiliar words or phrases. Non-assimilated words from Latin or other languages should also be italicized e.g. per se, et al. etc. V. GREEK SYMBOLS AND SPECIAL CHARACTERS: Greek symbols and special characters often undergo formatting changes and get corrupted or lost durin= g preparation of chapter for publication. To ensure that all special characters used are embedded in the text, these special characters should b= e inserted as a symbol but should not be a result of any format styling (Symbol font face) otherwise they will be lost during conversion to PDF/XML= . VI. Chemical equations, chemical names, mathematical usage, unit of measurements, chemical and physical quantity & units must conform to SI and Chemical Abstracts or IUPAC. VII. LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS: If abbreviations are used in the text either they should be defined in the text where first used, or a list of abbreviations can be provided. *If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Good point indeed. Our immediate application doesn't need high voltage programming, but that's just for lil' tiny45s not using debugwire. You got me to read the latest t25/45/85 manual to check that, thanks :) cheers, Ian From owner-freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Jan 31 17:18:33 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: embedded@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4B57D1065692 for ; Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:18:33 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from wblock@wonkity.com) Received: from wonkity.com (wonkity.com [67.158.26.137]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 02F518FC1C for ; Sun, 31 Jan 2010 17:18:32 +0000 (UTC) Received: from wonkity.com (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by wonkity.com (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id o0VHIVow093864; Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:18:31 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from wblock@wonkity.com) Received: from localhost (wblock@localhost) by wonkity.com (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) with ESMTP id o0VHIViE093861; Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:18:31 -0700 (MST) (envelope-from wblock@wonkity.com) Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:18:31 -0700 (MST) From: Warren Block To: Ian Smith In-Reply-To: <20100131153328.C46992@sola.nimnet.asn.au> Message-ID: References: <20100131153328.C46992@sola.nimnet.asn.au> User-Agent: Alpine 2.00 (BSF 1167 2008-08-23) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII X-Greylist: Sender IP whitelisted, not delayed by milter-greylist-4.2.3 (wonkity.com [127.0.0.1]); Sun, 31 Jan 2010 10:18:31 -0700 (MST) Cc: embedded@FreeBSD.org, "Wojciech A.

Probably, although I'm not looking at doing any volume, just wanting to experiment. There are a couple of suggestions in those comments like adding the zener diodes present in the original design or slowing down transfers. The USBasp looks interesting, and it has those zener diodes, but some comments said it had trouble with USB hubs. There are also several ways to set up an Arduino as an AVR programmer, and the additional cost over the USBTiny is low. The FTDI USB chip on an Arduino should be pretty robust. Certainly FreeBSD can talk to it. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA From owner-freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Feb 1 11:06:52 2010 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8F124106566C for ; Mon, 1 Feb 2010 11:06:52 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::28]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7C8A78FC25 for ; Mon, 1 Feb 2010 11:06:52 +0000 (UTC) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.3/8.14.3) with ESMTP id o11B6qlK062750 for ; Mon, 1 Feb 2010 11:06:52 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.14.3/8.14.3/Submit) id o11B6pB7062748 for freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.org; Mon, 1 Feb 2010 11:06:51 GMT (envelope-from owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org) Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 11:06:51 GMT Message-Id: <201002011106.o11B6pB7062748@freefall.freebsd.org> X-Authentication-Warning: freefall.freebsd.org: gnats set sender to owner-bugmaster@FreeBSD.org using -f From: FreeBSD bugmaster To: freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Current problem reports assigned to freebsd-embedded@FreeBSD.org X-BeenThere: freebsd-embedded@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Dedicated and Embedded Systems List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 01 Feb 2010 11:06:52 -0000 Note: to view an individual PR, use: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=(number).
