Embedded Android from O’Reilly – finally!
I've just received an e-mail about a new update of "Embedded Android" e-book available. Finally!

I hope that the boards assigned to Qt on Raspberry Pi program will be available soon!
Flashing LPC1342/43 from Linux
The LPC1342/43 bootloader code is a great feature, allowing for firmware upgrades over USB with no additional hardware (given USB socket is there). Simply pull PIO0_1 low, reset the chip and it enumerates as a mass storage USB device. Copy over the firmware binary and you're done. Cool, isn't it? At least in theory, as my first attempt to flash the MCU using my Linux box simply failed - the firmware got corrupted. Continue reading…
