Reading code back from an SX28

RockyB

Is there any way to pull a copy of code from the SX28 after it's written? I have a product that I handed over to be produced and now cannot find my SXB code! The only copy in existence seems to be in the chip on the board we are getting ready to produce.

There should have been a *.bak (backup) file created when you last compiled the *.sxb but it sounds like you dont have it. You are out of luck. Sorry.

Did you use the copy protect fuse? If not you can use an SX key/blitz to read the program from the device. You won't get the SX/B back though, just the compiled hex code. But it can be used to program other chips.

What software would I use? I cannot find a read option in the Key software V3.3.0.

Please, please tell me it's there or in another software...

Thanks in advance.

Oh Bean,
Thanks, I am DENSE! I know I will have to rewrite the source for the future, but now I don't have to do it this week!!!! [noparse]:)[/noparse]
