Bulk Programming with Edge Connectors #20

Hello Kooscode,

Since I saw this project a few years ago I've been meaning to give it a try.
But it's always been in the back of my mind to design a new xenium modchip
better suited in attaching to a programmer such as this using an edge connector.

I started mocking up a couple of designs...

Examples

(1) Xenium modchip that can be slotted into a 2x10pin edge connector,
which gives us more than enough pinouts for CPLD and FLASH Memory.

(2) Programming board that can support up to x5 Xenium modchips at a time
for bulk (x5 push button) or single (x1 push button) programming.

  • I figured the modchips could be power cycled one at a time during bulk
    programming with a status LED to show current modchip being powered.

  • Bi-color LED that doubles as power LED and status LED. Status LED is on
    during programming and flashes if errors.

  • Before programming there are a couple of switches for CPLD and FLASH that
    can be set to either true or false.

I'd be interested to see what you think about this concept.

Cheers, Nem
