Hi!
can anyone send me some schematics, about how to route a system, where are:
-one SPI eeprom, connected to:
-a processor. (controller)
-and where i want to program the memory, with spi programmer. (not via the processor)

these things have to be in the same board, and i would like to program the memory in-system.
i am afraid of that the processor does not want to let this process.

what should i do? hold the processor in reset, while programming the memory (via an spi programmer, like ponyprog)? or use a dip switch, to isolate the memory from the processor? where to put the programmer's header?

please, some advice, and example schematic! thanx.
 

If you can communicate with the processor, then why not use it to program the EEPROM?

You can hold the micro in reset and program the EEPROM. In reset, all IO lines are inputs, so you will not damage the micro. My concern is though, that the programmer will want to apply power to the EEPROM and measure its current, to determine that a good device is connected. So isolating the power of the EEPROM is required. A DIP or jumper should do.
 

thanx. this power-thing is good.
(i want to use the spi mem to store the bootload data. so, before boot, the processor does nothing)
 

hi buenos get you get get any further with spi if so please let me know as i have a similar problem
