I have all the hardware (USBSIMM, DT003, DT203)and John Hyde's book "USB Design by Example". I really could use some help and would be very appreciative if anyone could point me in the right direction. I am attempting the example as part of a college senior project. The new version of the keil software tools has changed and there is no longer a dscope debugger. The debugger is now embedded in uvision2. I can not communicate with the board through the serial port. I am not even sure that the dscope hex file loaded onto the USBSIMM. There is no detailed instruction that says what directory the hex file should be in for the chip to download it. I know the hex file I have was written specifically for dscope. The computer did recognize the USBSIMM because I placed the EMPTY.INF in the windows\inf directory. I also placed the hex file, LoadEZ.sys, and Generic.sys in the windows\system32\drivers directory. I have also successfuly compiled and created the file bal.hex. I now need to know how to start debugging. When i select debugging from the uvision2 software it gives me an error with the target. After changing the comm port and stuff it told me that it could not communicate. So i know that the right port is being used and I have the right baud rate set. Again, any help would be graetly appreciated.

Not really sure where you're trying to put the RTC, does it need to be 8-pin DIP? DS1302 is 8-pin DIP, but 3-wire not SPI. DS1391 is SPI, but 10-pin microSOP not DIP. Max6902 is SPI, but 8-pin TDFN. If you must have 8-pin DIP you could build an 8-pin DIP-sized adapter PCB. (Note SPI interface has 4 I/O, 2 crystal, 2 power, there's no pins left for a battery, you lose the time whenever you switch power off. The 3-wire interface DS1302 leaves the 8th pin available for a battery.)

I'm using the DT104 Simmstick. So I've got two 8 pin DIPS to work with. I'm creating a datalogger application that lives between an accelerometer and a fairly large external EEPROM. I had hoped to use the external interrupt service to implement the real time clock like on the Butterfly, but I'm not sure the '2313 or the AT-Tiny2313 has quite the support that the larger '169 has. This needs some work, and also I'm concerned about flat running out of memory. So perhaps a RTC chip would help... What's the tradeoff between the SPI socket and the Serial EEPROM. Is it speed of access? I know the Basic stamp uses SPI EEPROM to store it's tokenized program, so I would think it's as fast as possible. Thanks in advance for the consideration of your reply.
