Mum got me the zen xfi2 for christmas which i'm pretty happy with till today. And today I got to know that creative has released the adk (application development kit) for it. Take a look at www.creative.com/zenxfi2/adk However, i'm not good at programming so was wondering if anyone here has experiences with Lua or ADK? If yes, pls see if you can help create more apps (like games) for it. That would be really useful

I am a embedded system program currently working on microchip PIC18f4550
controller which is useful for USB communication.
I had search on Microchip web site but not get it.
Any help/link appreciated

when I enter microchip productid into the Google search box, I get a lot, starting with this[^].
Does that help?

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that. [The QA section does it automatically now, I hope we soon get it on regular forums as well]

Thank you very much for your response
I have already found it. Microchip controller PIC18F4550
VID (Vendor ID) = 0x04D8
PID (Product ID) = 0x0011
Thanks agin

I have bought FT232BQ USB UART IC , it is mentioned in the data sheet that it supports Isynchronous data transfer mode with an option bit in the EEPROM , but i cant understand how to do so..
what is the max. data transfer rate i could achieve using this IC and how can i acheive it ,, thnx in advance

ammeer_a wrote: max. data transfer rate i could achieve
isnt that (from the datasheet) "A new EEPROM based option allows the FT232BQ to return a USB 2.0 device descriptor as opposed to USB 1.1. Note : The device would be a USB 2.0 Full Speed device (12Mb/s) as opposed to a USB 2.0 High Speed device (480Mb/s)."

yes , but this maximum speed can only be achieved in Isychronous data transfer , and i dunt know how to get this rate ..

i have made a simple hardware interface consisting of an ADC and am trying to connect it to my labtop through usb,,i searched the net and i found that to access usb i need to have a driver for the device and this is done in kernel mode , unfortunately ,i dunt know how to write a driver although am familiar to c++ and vb codes
if any body can help me to write this driver ,, I need it to allow me to send and recieve bits from the ADC (in serial of course)

I did a similar thing about ten years ago though I bought an empty PCI card for my circuitry rather than using USB. When I realised I needed to write a driver I looked around and ended up buying a development kit from VToolsD which allowed me to program a driver, based around a sample, using C++.

Whats ADC?
Wouldnt you be better connecting it to the serial port? You should be able to use the onboard serial driver. To create a USB device you need a lot of hardware first, adn then writing a driver will probably take you about 6 months plus.
Dont underestimate the kernel or attempt to create a driver unless you are seriously committed. There are a lot of pitfalls and it takes a long tine to learn it properly. Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

I've got a RAID project to run into.
As you know, MS disk manager provides soft RAID managment such as creating RAID disk array and reconstructing disk image on RAID0 RAID1 RAID5.
Is there any API or DEVICEIOCONTROL code in C++ so I can manage RAID in my APP instead?

dont have idea about APP but if you wanna configure raid in your pc i might be able to help you

How often should one defrag one's hard disk (or partitions)? Is defragmentation really useful?
|
|
|
|

The answer is simply, it depends.
I'm running automatic defragmentation every week for our fileservers and databases.
A drive that's used only for reading don't need it.
A workstation ends up somewhere inbetween.
There are several points with defragmentation:
Reading a file from the disk is faster if it's contiguous. (unless you have a solid state drive)
Less file segments takes less space in the MFT which might make the drive a bit faster.
In the case of a harddisk crash the chance that a recovery tool will be able to save your data is greatly enhanced if the files are contiguous.
Overusing defragmentation is of course pointless as it shortens the life of the disk and everything gets slow during the actual defragmentation.

Defraging your hard disk(or partitions) must be useful. But you cannot do it too often. Once a month is enough, or it will certainly damage the hard disk.

Not that often. You should defrag your computer new, after you install the programs you use, and then once every three to six months. If defragmentation is still a serious problem, you should just buy a larger hard drive and clone your current one. Total cost may be around $120 for 500 GB laptop drive or 1TB and associated enclosure to use for cloning.

I believe that's a Mini PCI[^] socket for e.g. WLAN cards.
|
|
|
|
|
ts a PCI express port, commonly used for modules such as HSDPA and so on. If it IS for a HSDPA card you will also have a SIM holder somewhere on the laptop, possibly in the battery tray.
THis is what an HSDPA module looks like: http://www.option.com/en/products/products/modules/[^]

Are you sure? I thought that a mini PCIe slot still had the notch between the two segments of the contact and was smaller than that. I think markkuk was right in calling it the older mini pci port.
