EPROM Reader for Teensy++ 2.0

A simple EPROM reader for the Teensy++ 2.0 AVR development board. Only 16 bit EPROMs supported so far. Tested with a 32 Mbit M27C322。

Components

  • 1x Teensy++ 2.0
  • 3x 74HC595 shift registers

Usage

To read 32 Mb from the Teensy++ at /dev/ttyACM0:

$ time ./eprom_reader.py -d /dev/ttyACM0 0 4194304 out2
# Insert lots of dots scrolling by here...
 ./eprom_reader.py -d /dev/ttyACM0 0 4194304 out2  22.73s user 6.95s system 1% cpu 44:23.71 total

It takes over 44 minutes to read a 32 Mbit EPROM so it's definitely not the fastest thing out there. There is lots of room for improvement.

Hooking it all up
