Dev Board V3 Drivers?

Post by Cruster »

Hi,

Two questions:

I have a devlopment board Mk3 (HP-488-00-3) purchased long ago from yourselves with, I think C and Assembler at the same time. Both long lost after several house moves.

1) From where can I download the USB drivers for the board? The onboard chip has a label stating PPP firmware but no version number
-and-
2) Is it possible to obtain the assembler compiler from yourselves?

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi John,

Thank you for that. Downloaded USB driver and installed.

I'm guessing I need "ppp" as well? Is that a download (assuming I can not locate my original disk which came with the board) or is that available as a separate purchase from yourselves? If so, where?

Do you still sell the assembler you once did or is that now obsolete?

Kind regards,

Chris

Hi Chris

I dont work for Matrix :) Just a very satisfied customer.

You can download PPP here

Assembler package is not a download, the link to the page is here
Think that is what you mean.

Oops - sorry John! :D For some reason I'd assumed you did work for Matrix. My apologies and thank you very much for the links. All I can seem to find is flow code everywhere!

All the best,

Chris

Hi!

I do work for Matrix :P

We do still sell the Assembly course, but if you have a 64bit computer there may be a few fixes you need to do before using it, these are available from our FAQ site.

Hi David,

Thanks, this is puzzling as I'm pretty certain that wasn't the original assembly course I ordered... I'm now wondering whether it may have been someone elses. As the whole package came together with the MK3 dev board (and I think a C primer as well)

Did the late John Becker work for Matrix? I have feeling it may have been his assembler but I'm not entirely sure... wish I could lay my hands on my original disks! Ho hum. I may stick with Mplab and PPP for the time being! :)

Best wishes,

Chris
