Post by thread:[PICLIST] [pic] who else uses the 16F877 ???

Hello all, who else uses the 16F877? Who else is totally disgusted that the 77A revision is delayed until next march at the earliest??? The 77 is a flash chip that if you leave it flash upgradable, you must leave it completely NAKED for copying. Is this as ridiculous as I think it is? -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY! [EE]:,[OT]: ->Other [BUY]:,[AD]: ->Ads

There is some scope for protection against simple copying- you can protect the bootloader area, and include calls to routines there in your main code. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!
