MemoFileProgrammer
About
|
You can add, delete, modify and move up to 64 memories with up to 8 alternative frequencies.
The data format, MemoFileProgrammer works with, is the so called "hex8" format, a byte oriented format, which can be handled by every EEPROM programmer software. On Windows, you can use external programs, such as IC-Prog, on Linux/Unix it is even possible to use the program prog84 internally and so read and write the EEPROM from the MemoFileProgrammer menu.
MemoFileProgrammer is a Java/Swing application and will therefor run on many platforms, such as Linux, Unix, Mac and Windows.
Prerequisites
- Java (JRE, J2SE >= 1.4.2)
- EEPROM-Programmer Hardware(available on eBay for a few euros)
- Software for the EEPROM-Programmers (see links)
- EEPROMs 24LC16
- Grundig Satellit 700

External hardware

The most simple ones for the serial port (Type "Ludipipo") cost just a few euros and work as well as much more expensive ones. The only thing, which is important is, that the EEPROM type 24C16 and 24LC16 are supported.
If the matching software can be fully controlled by the command line, it can be integrated in further versions of MemoFileProgrammer, if you send me the neccessiary details.
To use the EEPROM reading and writing prossibility unter Windows, it is reqired, that
you install the programs prog84 and dump84 (in the archive
prog84dos.zip, see links at the bottom of the page) in the same directory, as
the file MemoFileProgrammer.jar. Furthermore, the file lp_cfg must be
edited by the instructions below and put into that directory, too.
Configuration settings for Ludipipo and similar programmers
Prog84 / Dump84
- Windows: in lp_cfg: "serial", no "loop",
no "br875", power: TxD, mclr: TxD,
data: DTR, data_f: CTS, clock: RTS.
You can see an example for COM1 here
- Unix/Linux: in .prog84rc: "port serial", no "loop",
no "br875", power: TxD, mclr: TxD,
data: DTR, data_f: CTS, clock: RTS.
You can see an example for /dev/ttyS1 here
IC-Prog
- Settings: JDM Programmer, Direct I/O, COM-Port, nothing else
- Options: I2C: Selected both options
- Options: misc: Nothing selected.
- Options: Smartcard: "Enable DTR as VCC" selected, otherwise always the top option selected
Pony Prog
- Serial, SI Prog API, COM-Port, nothing else.

Successfully tested with Version 3.41 and the burner Multiprog 2003 XL
- For writing, the .mfp files have to be renamed
to the suffix .hex and for reading the same vice-versa.
Changes
- Version 1.5:
- New sticker printing option
- Version 1.4.1:
- Bugfix in AF handling
- Version 1.4:
- Usage of an installer
- selecting a root data directory
- new printing methods
- improved integration of prog84
- on Windows, prog84 can be installed and configured, too, if you're using the installer

Installation
The easiest way is, to use the installer or the RPM. If you're using the installer on Windows, you can install and configure 'prog84' in the same step, too, which makes MemoFileProgrammer run out-of-the-box.The installer is launched by a double click (Java >=1.4 must be installed on your system); the RPM can be installed the traditional way as root by executing 'rpm Uhv MemoFileProgrammer-1.5-1.noarch.rpm' or one of the RPM installation tools
