version 1.19
This distribution comes under the GNU general public license
agreement. Please read the COPYING file.

Introduction
- ------------
Burn is generic data burner (or aims to be) that reads and writes data to
solid state non-volatile devices (EEPROM, Flash Ram etc).
Terry developed burn in 1999, and released it as 1.13 in January 2000 with
Amtel 2051 support only. Since April 2000, i (Jason) have been helping
Terry Porter develop this new and exciting project. It's a very simple and
cheap device you can make that will allow to you program a whole range of
solid state devices that store data (ie EEPROM devices, flash RAM devices,
and micro controllers that have Flash RAM in them).
In essence, burn is no more than a 32 bit output, 8 bit input
multiplexer/transceiver. The hardware has been made minimal, with the
complexity built into the software running on the PC (and this is the
buzzword here- the "action" happens in the software running on your linux
box). Therefore this project has a whole range of other switching and
control applications.
With the complexity being in the software, other targets can easierly be
added. All it will take is some technical data and a few hours of your
time.
Supported Targets List
- ----------------------
AT89C2051 Amtel 8 bit Microcontroller, with 2kb Flash
AT89C4051 Amtel 8 bit Microcontroller, with 4kb Flash (NOT TESTED YET)
AT24C08 Amtel 2 Wire Serial EEPROM
AT89C51 Amtel 8 bit Microcontroller, with 4kb Flash (both 12V & 5V VPP)
