    Arno Morbach's TPU I2C Function

    Description

    This function provides an easy way to connect IIC devices to the 68332 or
    68376. Two adjacent channels are used, the first one provides the user inter-
    face. The function has been tested with IIC EEPROMs, but it should work with 
    several other IIC slaves. Since the TPU is always master of the IIC bus,     
    there is no limit of the response time. If there are other TPU functions,    
    the transfer time will go up, but it will not be disturbed.                  
    The following description assumes, that you are familiar with the IIC bus    
    and its addressing scheme.                                                   
    

    Arno writes:

    "I would like to hear if someone really used this function
    because I only did some tests with an I2C-EEPROM.
    Any comments to the function or suggestions would be welcome."

    Eric Dönges' TPU ALARM CLOCK Function

    Description

    This function provides a 32 bit alarm clock with a fixed reference
    time. This time can be reset any time; all alarm times are relative
    to this value.

    Zoltan Kocsi's TPU Assembler

    Zoltán writes:

    Tas is an assembler that assembles the Motorola Time Processor Unit
    microcode...
    
    I wrote the assembler for it because there are only two other versions 
    that I know of:
    An official assembler, that you can buy from Motorola and runs on
    Windows (maybe DOS too, used to be DOS only) and a free version, 
    from Motorola again, that runs under DOS. The Windows one comes with 
    extensive docs, the free one with none. In addition, Motorola does not 
    give you the microcode programming docs without buying the official 
    assembler. This policy IMHO sucks, but that's not relevant now. 
    By the way, the document is called TPUMASMREF/D1.
    
    Since I do not use Windows and try not to use DOS either, I decided to 
    write an assembler myself that I can use on Linux. Armed with my 5 year 
    old docs I jumped on it and this assembler is the result."

    Bill Knight's C Implementation of a TPU-based UART

    Bill writes:

    "I have not re-compiled this to ensure everything
    is resolved, but I also haven't changed ANY of the actual code.
    Two more things. 1) Portions of the code were "pulled in" from various
    application notes, etc. and 2) PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ASM STATEMENTS
    IN THE ACTUAL ISRs DEPEND UPON WHICH TPU CHANNELS ARE ACTUALLY USED.
    Oh yes, this code was written to use the SDS CrossCode compiler and
    may require changes for other compilers."
