ConnectOne and external EEPROM
In another thread dhouston is working on an Amicus18 shield for ConnectOne modules. These shields have a serial EEPROM on board to take some of the code load away from the MCU.
For comparison a simple email routine is looked at. The code size went from 3,812 bytes used with out the EEPROM to 1,462 bytes used with an external EEPROM. The EEPROM needs to be loaded with data beforehand.
The code displayed below was tested using an 18F6680 (not an Amicus) and a 24FC1025 EEPROM. This is my typical test bed.
This is the code without an EEPROM, You may think it could be tightened up by placing the
SERIN2 RX ,BAUD,2500,EMAIL_SET,[WAIT("I/OK")]
in a sub routine. That line needs to be directly after the "AT+i" command, even a gosub will miss the "I/OK".

Re: ConnectOne and external EEPROM
How much EEPROM memory for your example?
Re: ConnectOne and external EEPROM
361 bytes. And that was a small example...

That's a pretty good trade-off; 361 bytes of EEPROM saving 2350 bytes of program space. I2C EEPROM is inexpensive even for 128KB. I haven't analyzed your code but suspect you could save even more by wasting some EEPROM - using fixed length records and accessing them sequentially.
Re: ConnectOne and external EEPROM
I thought about that but was not sure how the Connect One would like it. Being a little short on time I just did what I knew would work for the sample.
There is always room for improvement.
Re: ConnectOne and external EEPROM
Perhaps, store a length byte at the start of the strings?
But, as is, I think the EEPROM achieves our goal of reducing the PBP code burden. Others might have even better ideas.

It would be cool if the I2C command had "WAIT"...

Maybe Darrel can give you a register or something where you can stick WAIT.
Re: ConnectOne and external EEPROM
Or a nice small ASM routine to parse...
Re: ConnectOne and external EEPROM
Bruce can probably provide an ASM routine. He's welcome to the Gerbers for both shields if he wants them.
