Programing
Hi! I was wondering if it's possible to program a PAX32a chip using C as you would with an ATiny 2313 or similar chip?

Re: Programing
I Googled PAX32a and did not come up with any data that would help. Do you have data on the PAX and compilers for it? If there is a c compiler for the PAX chip then you can use c to program it. But you will have to use the compiler directives and linker that come with that and they probably will not be the same as for Atmel chips.

Re: Programing
Ok, I get it now ... no .pdf allowed. However here is the data link.

Re: Programing
Sorry Parallax has nothing when searching on PAX. Could you link to the exact part you are talking about? If you are talking about the propeller chip there is a c compiler for that.

Re: Programing
I mangled ID of Propeller chip ... P8X32A-D40 is what it should be. I would use a breadboard and an UNO 3 to program it but need to know which pins to hook up on the Propeller. Eventually I'd want to create a new boot loader and be able to run arduino sketches and examples.

Re: Programing
In that case you will fail. The two chips are hardware incompatible and the Parallax chip does not use a bootloader. Also the Parallax chip would need an EPROM for the program and a clocking source to work on the breadboard. Check the Parallax site for more info on programming methods.
