Hi Martin, I'm sorry you are feeling grouchy. The ADS1232REF is not obsolete. I think that there is a misunderstanding as to the use of the ADS1232REF . It is not a development system. It is a method to evaluate the ADS1232 as an EVM platform. Firmware for evaluation is pre-loaded on to the board. You can run the board in analysis mode (using the software) or scale mode. The functionality is already installed with the pre-loaded firmware. I understand your frustration, but please try to understand that the firmware is nearly 15 years old. We are in the process of redesign so that modern tools can be used, but currently this is not a high priority. Regarding the old firmware, our legal team has told us that we can no longer provide the old firmware in it's current form as it does not meet TI standards or open source licensing. Let me assure you that I'm 99% sure you would be even more grouchy and frustrated by attempting to use and modify the old code. It took me weeks to learn and understand the code just to make a bug fix. It also uses tools that are no longer supported. There is no IDE and everything is command line driven. The code uses FreeRTOS version 4.8 and the current version is 10.2. It is not easy to tweek the firmware and get working. I know you may think that the code is useful, but it really is not. Someone has actually posted the code here: http://en.pudn.com/Download/item/id/1756464.html Use of the linked code has not been checked for accuracy. Using the code is at your own risk and will not be supported by TI. If you tell me specifically what you are trying to do, perhaps we can find a work around. Best regards, Bob B
