[Efi332] Hey guys - what's up?

[sailors3 at comcast.net]

Hi Paul,

Nice to hear from you! I know what you mean about side projects, my car project get set aside for 2 1/2 years while I built a large addition on the back of our house. I had just bought a 1998  LS1 from a wrecked Camaro (in 1999) and by the time I get that thing running in my 64 Impala it will be obsolete!

Yes, I finally managed to get the QSCI running on the transmit side, using interrupts. I just used the bottom half empty interrupt, it seems to be working very good. There are errors in the Freescale documentation, and omissions that make it very hard to figure out how to use it, but time and determination won. We are now thinking we need to go interrupt driven on the receive side too, but have not implemented that yet.

regards,

dave

Jeff, Dave, et.al,

Guys - it's been a long time since I have checked in with the group. 

Unfortunately some major remodeling has been sucking up all of my spare time since sometime in October. Perhaps even more unfortunate, I'm still not done. On the bright side, only the master bathroom is left - so I will start sneaking some time in on the ECU development.

I have actually done a little work recently on a related sub-project. That is, development of a Windows Mobile application for tuning. I'm new to development in Windows Mobile, so it's going to take some time before I have it as functional as my standard Windows app, but I have got some of the basic serial communication stuff working. Which is what prompts me to check in and see what the current status is on interrupt driven serial I/O from the MPC555.

I read Dave's last post and that sounds like there are mixed results.

Hopefully I can get back to working on the serial i/o on the ECU side within the next several weeks.

Hope all had safe and happy holidays,

-Paul
