Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

With the PIC32, it's possible to upload the developed code as a complete hex file which is useful for updating a system in the field. Is this possible with the CMM2?

I'm not sure I understand the question?  The firmware update procedure is in Appendix G of the manual.  The latest firmware is available for download on this page:

https://geoffg.net/maximite.html

The firmware is currently in .bin format instead of .hex but it's really the same idea, just a more compressed file format.

Are you talking about updating the MMBasic firmware AND your Basic code in one shot?

This should be doable via the Cube programming software.

Exactamundo!

I might have a client who needs a software update and I just want to to send them a binary file.

So what exactly would they need?

It certainly is on MicroMites, but I thought the CMM2 doesn't actually load your program into flash but rather runs it directly from the SD card(?)
