Hey Guys,

I think there is no real reason for heating up this thread.

Let me try to nail it down to the point:

Fortunatley (for Parallax and Ubicom), there are people/companies around, intending to use SX chips for commercial (hopefully) mass projects. Maybe, I'm just a "minor player" in this area, because I have only shipped around 1000 SX-related products out of the door so far. I'm sure, there will be others selling volumes I never can compete with.

So far, I programmed all my SX chips with the SX-Key attached to an SXTech board using the SX-Key IDE, by simply hitting Ctrl-P to launch a new programming session. It's that simple.

If there were an IDE command-line option available to launch the programming cycle, you would still need some way to "tell" the batch file to start a new programming session - so why don't you just use the IDE as it is, and hit Ctrl-P, or click the "Program" shortcut for the next programming cycle?

As I had mentioned in another message, there is always an option to use one of the much more expensive universal programmers available in the market. I own an ALL-11 Programmer from HiLo Systems. Although it supports the SX devices, I prefer using the SX-Key for programming, using the ALL-11 for PICs (Shame on me), and various EPROMS.

10-1 = 1
