ASM file for decoder missing #7

Closed bartels76 closed 2 years ago

bartels76 commented 2 years ago

Would you please publish the source for the latest decoder firmware? The ASM file is missing. The CY8CKIT-059 is 44+ weeks on backorder on mouser.com, and I cannot find it anywhere for a reasonable price. I would like to review the source so I can see if I can port it to another available microcontroller. Thank you in advance.

Hi Bartels, the PSOC implementation is not ASM but it's done in hardware with a mix of VHDL and PSOC components. Unfortunately this is not portable to another hardware except maybe FPGA. But in that case it's better to start the synthesis from original Howard Cano design and implement with the specific platform tools (which is what I did with PSOC). I've investigated even more recent PSOC6 platform but it seems like custom designs are not supported by the new development tools. To avoid commercial use of the project (which already happened for the transponders) the PSOC parti is not open sourced. If you use 'monitor mode' of the decoder, you get on the serial the 'raw stream' from the hardware part, and you can use it as a building block for external expansion.

Thanks for the quick response. That is understandable. Awesome work by the way. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully the CY8CKIT-059 becomes available soon.
