Hello,

Is it supported?

PeterBortas commented 5 years ago

Not at this time

iddq commented 5 years ago

Can you please share some technical details why?

PeterBortas commented 5 years ago

It's a different CPU, a different hardware setup and a new protection system in the stock firmware to prevent dumping the firmware and upload your own. None of these are insurmountable, but it has not been done yet.

For me a bigger issue is that we have all of these details for TL866I yet don't have true critical mass on the codebase. In particular, at89c51 erase was never made reliable which essentially blocked future projects as that was a key pilot project.
