Full Speed Ahead

Finally the effectivity/feasibility of my (belated!!) proposed stack protocol architecture based on top of Zigbee/IEEE 802.15.4 standards have proved conclusive.
Now all the theoretical stuff will enter into implementation stage.
Given 18 sensor nodes and plenty of testing, measurement, debugging and emulating tools, all my efforts will be focused on developing a unique middleware based on evolutionary concepts which will consequently revolutionise any modular-based embedded system.
Since the very beginning of my research, I've always believed in forming some sort of seamless compatibility between hardware and software.

The aforementioned compatibilty has finally come into effect utilising a generic concept which will allow interactivity amongst various platforms.

Absolutely amazed by the IPAD



Steve Jobs has just unveiled the Apple's long-awaited product called the "IPAD". It very much resembles the Iphone and Ipod but with a much larger display and a fantastic design.
I've never been a fan of any Apple's products but this one is a definite revolution in the history of tablet PCs and E-book readers.

"Bricked" my HTC touch Diamond - HELP!!

A couple of weeks ago I was flicking through various cooked ROMs on XDAdevelopers and after trying out several windows mobile versions, I happened to turn my HTC Diamond into a luxury piece of furniture.

Well, it turned out that I flashed a wrong version of ROM (intended for CDMAs) into my GSM phone.


My phone switches on normally, but it freezes on the Diamond logo and doesn't go any further (as above).


I tried all sorts of hard reset options and I hard-reset it many times by pressing different keys, however it still freezes on the Touch Diamond logo at the start-up after a brief vibration.

Simply put it, when connected to usb port, it only starts charging and the circular lighting starts flashing but obviously my pc doesn't detect anything being attached to it.

As the warranty is still valid for 5 months, I posted it to the HTC service centre and surprisingly enough they invoiced me for £280 as "the fault is caused by unauthorised software update".

Well obviously I gave up on the whole repair thing and my phone was returned to me intact.

I've been searching many places for a possible solution and so far the only reasonable idea is 'JTAG'ing the NAND chip which needs some soldering, a cable and some software to flash an original ROM directly onto it. I'll be grateful to anyone who can refer me to a possible solution.

New Books on my shelf

I'm so excited to read these fantastic books by the end of December.
