Using Gooey Core with Dev Board

[Justin-235]

Just received my dev board and planning to set it up this weekend. Initial question I had when getting started...when I flash new programs and examples to the dev board, does it write over the preloaded programs or do those remain intact?

They are overwritten. While developing a program we suggest using the "run from RAM" option. This will load the program into the operation RAM directly then start it, doing this saves the writes to the FLASH program memory as you can only write FLASH a certain number of times before you start to see errors (it is a LOT of times but why waste any).

All the demo programs in the chip are on the website so if you do overwrite one you can grab the source and reassemble/FLASH it to the FXCore if you want.

Ok thanks Frank. That's what I assumed but assumption has bit me more than once.
