PIC18F67J60 questions
Now that Fred Eady plans to supply PBP drivers for this family of chips I have a few questions.Is it safe to assume we can use Darrel's Instant Interrupts? It seems to be a PIC18F... married to the ENC28J60.
The datasheet says it's possible to "write to program memory" so can we assume that bootloaders will work with it? The ample memory (64K, 96K, 128K models) would seem to make a bootloader written in PBP more practical.

It's probably "safe" to assume you can use Instant Interrupts.
But it's probably NOT safe to assume the ethernet drivers will be set up to use them.
It all depends on what Fred does.

I wasn't assuming that Fred would even be aware of Instant Interrupts. I'm mostly interested in using interrupts with the timers, the 4 external interrupt pins and the 4 IOC pins. Incoming Internet traffic will be minimal, outgoing traffic will be heavier but I believe incoming traffic is buffered.

No problem there.
It should work fine with all 5 timers, 4-external INTs (0-3), RBC and all the normal stuff, USART, MSSP, CCP etc.
However, if he does use interrupts in the ethernet driver, there may be some conflicts to work out.
I guess we have to wait and see.

I figure it will be worth the waiting and the seeing and the resolving of any conflicts. The Ethernet Module has its own set of interrupts (described in section 18.3 of the datasheet) which are independent of the ones used by the PIC so I'm hopeful there won't be conflicts. However, this is all obviously over my head else I wouldn't be waiting on Fred to work his magic or relying on your expertise with interrupts.

PIC18F67J60 bootloader
I got my Ethernet Mini Kit today.
A bit of searching turned up a commercial bootloader for the PIC18F97J60 family.

PIC18F67J60 Porting Update..
Hi, All
I've got ARP, PING and simple UDP PICBASIC PRO code working on the Ethernet MINI as of today.. I'll post the code in the Downloads area of www.edtp.com in the next day or so. Please keep your eyes on Nuts and Volts magazine as the fun is about to begin!
Have fun,
Fred
