Thanks Gus 
I am going to implement a RLP driver for a DOG 132x32 LCD display. It use an āSPI likeā interface that Iām going to bit-bang instead of using up an SPI port.
Iāll probably wait for the SDK release since I have many other things to do.

@ Gus, Iām trying to follow the tutorial by āDelegateVoidā that you mention in the first post of this thread ([url]http://www.itcrowd.be/getting-started-with-ghi-rlp[/url] ). I get to the point of editing the rlp.h file ā what is RLP_ADDRESS and RLP_SIZE for Panda? Itās populated and commented out for ChipworkX EMX but not for others that are now rlp-enabled. How would I go about getting this information short of asking the forum/you?
Iām assuming others will need this info for domino, mini, rhino.
You should use the example we provide. There is 2 examples specifically made fro USBizi. At the end of the docs, there is a link to a zip file with the examples.
Not seeing it.
Iām looking at http://www.ghielectronics.com/downloads/NETMF/Library%20Documentation/html/f608e398-6573-8adc-5d59-b904dfa3fcee.htm
At the bottom of the docs there is indeed a link to a zip file (itās where I go the rlp.h file I mentioned). rlp.h from the zip file contains the code:
// !!! The user must set these settings according to used platform !!!
// ChipworkX
//#define RLP_ADDRESS 0xA0000000
//#define RLP_SIZE 0x001FB3FC
// EMX
//#define RLP_ADDRESS 0xA0F00000
//#define RLP_SIZE 0x000FFFFC
// !!!
It (the zip) also has lots of directory and other clues centered around ChipworkX and EMX.
To my understanding, neither of these is USBiziā¦
Where should I be looking?
Looking forward to thisā¦
Sounds great
for reference, the zip file which includes panda is at [url]http://www.ghielectronics.com/beta_01979/Library%20Documentation/RLP_User.zip[/url] . Look in rlp.h for USBizi-related address/size.
get to it from the beta documentation >> native namespace >> RLP class >> examples at the bottom of the page.
ā¦so Iāve worked my way through the example/tuturial. Lots of gotchaās. When I run now I get a OOM message when the ELF file tries to load. The file is 35kB by itself, for just the āadd two numbersā C example code.
a) is the file size appropriate? should I do something else to make it smaller?
b) has anybody got RLP to work on Panda?

Please compile your project with the linker script and make file from the example provided by us. You have something off and this is why your elf file is large.
Before you do anything, compile the example we provide AS IS and try it please.
Is it still possible to implement different bootloader region size,
previously discussed some time ago?
Thank you

No you canāt but I do not remember why you needed that. We are talking managed boot loader, right?
Yes,my bootloader code has 25K and application is about to reach maximum of 96KB.
23KB potentially moved from boot to app is a gold mine for me.
Using 96K already? I like that! Must be some cool application. Is it all code or you have resources?
No resources,only for code.
Iām using almost all features of your library
Would you be able to tell us how much free RAM and Flash are available to us with this new beta on the Panda?
Same as before 
Is this great or what? We add more features but not use more memory!
Sizes are showing here http://www.tinyclr.com/compare/
That is great Gus. How the heck you pull that off?
I was on vacation so i just see this new promising SDK.
This will be all I need to use Panda as I need.
Any news on when is it going to be released ?
Thanks for coming through with the goods.
I had asked about access to internal flash, and now we have the InternalFlashStorage method - nice work.
How can I drive a SPI interface from native code?
Why do you need that since SPI is already supported?
But you can make an RLP to do that. Read about RLP in documentation and see examples
