[Announce] ColdFire MCF5213 Evaluation Kit

This low cost ColdFire evaluation board with GCC development software is all in a package costing less than 100 UK Pounds ( 140 Euro ).

It makes an ideal evaluation kit for getting started on ColdFire MCF5213 projects or just as a high power programmable unit for small volume applications.

The MCF5213 device is a 32-bit ColdFire processor which incorporates 256KB of Flash, 32KBytes of RAM, Digital I/O, ADC, QSPI, PWMs, timers, a PLL, I2C and more. The 32 bit processor runs at a system clock speed of up to 80MHZ which gives 76MIPS of performance.

Included is the 64K Starter Edition of our software development package which provides the capability to compile, debug, and flash program up to

64KB of user C code. This software suite includes the In Circuit Debugger, Flash Programmer, and integrated environment with built in GCC Compiler. A Quickstart Manual and sample template project will give you a jump start on your own interrupt driven firmware design.

Powerful features of the DEV5213CF development board include: Contains an embedded USB to BDM interface for easy debug and flash programming Large through-hole development area including SOIC and TSSOP pads RS232 transceivers for the processors serial ports UART0 and 1 Built in circuitry to provide a clock to the target from an 8Mhz crystal or a user provided oscillator. LEDs connected to GPT0/1/2/3 port pins. These may be disabled via on-board jumpers. RESET, IRQ1 and IRQ2 buttons Headers providing access to all the processor's pins - individually Labelled for easy access.

Schematics of the DEV5213 development board are supplied

The software included in the kit is a starter version of our full ColdFire Package Pro so when more code space is needed upgrading will be trivial. The starter kit WinIDE limits source to 5000 lines, symbols to 2500, the load size (64K) into the debugger, the programming size (64K) in the flash programmer, and the code size (64K) of the output file generated by the compiler. No limitation is made to the GCC compiler included in the starter kit which can be run without limitation from outside of the development environment.

Ever notice that his Usenet traffic consists of periodically leaving his multi-posted droppings and slinking away?

The classic definition of a spammer.

Only because you follow up to him.

I've already killfiled him, that's all that was needed. If you insist on following up to every spam that gets posted, I'll add you as well. If you must follow up, why don't you post them to news.admin.net-abuse.sightings where it might do a bit of good, instead of here where all you can accomplish is to annoy the regulars?

Ah. The PASSIVE approach. . .

In my time on Usenet, can you believe that that is the FIRST time I have seen someone suggest that?

Having done searches in the archives before, I have seen references to news.admin.* but I always thought it required that the admins of the offenders monitor the groups (Yeah. Right.) for those groups to be effective.

After reading your post, I researching the subject FAQ

and discovered the X-Apparently-Complain-To: tag.

At this point, my unanswered questions are:

1) Does a complaint from killfile.org carry more weight than any other?

2) Do some Postmasters / abuse@ departments require a critical mass of complaints before they act

--even with a complaint from killfile.org?

3) Is there a list of abuse-friendly ISPs / news providers where it is a complete waste of time to complain?

You might as well fight the rising tide. I certainly don't have the time to chase spammers.

I'll believe it if you say so.

Many do, some don't

Which can be easily faked. You need to look at the path as well, although that can be preloaded as well.

I don't know.

A premium news provider will investigate even a single complaint, if it's truly spam, they will take action. Look up the definition of BI (Breidbart Index) to see the definition of spam.

Further, you may wish to read news.admin.net-abuse.usenet and also read

as well for how to use the groups.

I don't know, but I can say that complaining to Google is a complete waste of time.

Nope. This is one that YOU missed. After the bot verifies the report, this is an additional destination which killfile.org / spamblocked.com GENERATES and adds to its posting list. . .

Great link. Lots of good stuff all in one place. . .

Well, not *complete*--I've seen njpcb's accounts terminated[1]

--but he does just open a new one. Google DOES need to create a mechanism for repeat offenders.

Thanks for your input. . . [1] It took quite a while on each occurance. Either the latency between reports and action is high or the critical-mass threshold is high--maybe both.
