- A tool for dumping the firmware/OSD data from the MCU (Working, some features untested)
- A tool for flashing the new firmware/OSD data onto the MCU [Kinda runs, no idea if actually works
- OSD decoder for converting the OSD data to bitmaps and back [Work started...haven't cracked the format quite yet
- A set of SDCC launch parameters to compile for the MTV230M [Work not started]
- A library of hardware definitions for the MTV230M - definitions for peripheral control registers and such [Work started]
- Mayyybe a version of PAULMON2 or some other monitor to run on the MCU. [not quite yet]
. Also expect that any serious work will start only around November, when outside becomes cold and dark.What I need right now is suggestions for the name. I'm not looking to make it professional, jokes and puns are on the table. The controller is called MTV230M, and manufactuerd by a company called Myson. So far, I see three options:
- Mydaughter/Mydottir - The most obvious pun. Pros: was obvious. Cons: Not really that deep or good.
- FreeMyson - Carries a bit more meaning, because, pun aside, we're effectively "freeing up" a MCU that was previously locked up in the manufacturer's propietary toolchain. Pros: Since it will mostly be written in C, the project logo becomes obvious, SMD tweezers on top, right angle ruler on the bottom, a big bold C in the middle. Cons: due to historical/national reasons, I do not vibe with freemasons.
- That kid is not Myson - but she says I am the one. Pros: naming the components becomes stupidly easy, the f/w reader could be billie, the writer - jean and so on. Cons: Pop culture references are everywhere, I'm getting tired of them - and the tool names, although funny, would hide their function.
