(wonders: why do all my posts have the word 'Newbie' in the title?)
I'm looking to integrate the cp2103 with an atmega162. Specifically, I want to enable coms to the AVR (obviously), possibly upload firmware via USB (once I find a good bootloader). I have a couple questions (some of them so dumb they may cause bleeding from the ears. You've been warned):
- How do the GPIO pins "work" on the cp2103? Is this something I could conceivably use for a "remote control"-type of scenario (when the AVR is plugged into the USB)?
- Is there a good, open-source, general-purpose bootloader out there, that people would recommend for the AVR?
- Has anyone previously done this, or seen application notes that would help me in the design phase (an example schematic, etc).
- Does anyone have tips on how to solder this QFN package without using reflow? I've got a soldering iron, and that's it
