SX Key for WM5/6

Jared Woolston

I dont know how much this has been discussed allready or even how realistic it is but a search on the forum turned up nothing. I would love to have a SX and even a propeller programmer program on my windows mobile phone for field use. If the source code/data is available i would be willing to write the program myself or pay for one if need be.

So, what do people think? is the required info even available?

Jared,

If you only need to program and not debug the SX chip family, this page will explain how to communicate with an SX-Blitz:

Peter,

Thanks for the info. At the very least i could make a program to field program with known good hex files. I would also like to make a compiler if possible, even if just for assembly...i dont imagine the opcodes for each command are freely published info are they?

Jared,

Are you talking about the opcodes for the SX chip instruction set? If so, then of course they are freely available. They're in the manual that comes with the software, and the datasheets available from Parallax.

Thanks,
