Firmware/source code

2006-03-24 by synth1@airmail.net

I really don't see anything *good* about releasing source code for the
'650. In order to even do something with it, you have to complie/assemble
it, then you have to have a devide programmer AND an adapter socket for
the Atmel RD2 part.

If anyone is "just curious" about 'how the code works', I can't help you
there :) I'm curious about my MP3 player, but don't expect to see source
code on the Creative Labs website.

If anyone is worried about longevity: I'll gladly send you another uP
(it's in a socket). If you are worried about 10 years from now: it doubt
Atmel will be making this part in 10 years (shrug). Simple fact of the
market. Which is why I bought *250* of them.

In fact, Atmel may still make the uP, but what if Analog Devices drops the
DAC? Or TI drops the mux?
