Microchip Android development kit part 1

I recently obtained the Microchip Android development kit, this is the fist part of my attempt to get my development environment working :

You can join the debate and knowledge on Android and mobile peripherals, development, potential, business models etc at AndroidGizmo .

My Attempts at developing an application have come to a temporary halt as I try to find a way of getting Android 2.3.4 or above installed (currently 2.1). I am trying to find a solution on villainrom

    If you do have your dev environment working - you can get a sample application from the Android market place :

    The example application can be downloaded from the Android Marketplace. You should be able to find the demo application
    by searching for "Microchip" and looking for the "Basic Accessory Demo" application.
    You can also download the file by:
    1) Go the the following link in the browser:
    https://market.android.com/details?id=com.microchip.android.BasicAccessoryDemo&feature=search_result
    2) Click on the below link from an Android device capable of running the demo:
    market://details?id=com.microchip.android.BasicAccessoryDemo

The pitfalls of share options in the technology startup

Draft 1 PLEASE NOTE: I  am a simple engineer and this document should not be taken as legal advice in any way whatsoever.  Please feel free to comment or relate your stories here. All feedback is more than welcome Over the last few weeks I have been involved in trying to get a fair outcome for some options that I have in one of the many startups I have worked with over the years. As I continue to push my case forward I thought I would write some thoughts whilst fresh in my mind.  Many of us are attracted to startups due to the promise of shares or share options in the company we are joining. Many people work at reduced rates or no pay in exchange for these contracts, with the hope that one day they will materialise into some value for us. For startup companies, options are a vital currency. Initially cash is tight and using options is a means to attract the right people to help launch the company or take it to the next stage in it's evolution.  In recent weeks, I hav...

Hire for Engineers not for Frameworks

I have been faced with hiring great engineering teams on a number of occasions, I am constantly amazed at home many hiring managers and recruiters seem to focus on particular technologies and experience in those technologies. My experience has taught me to hire engineers and I have always viewed the technology as a secondary consideration. I always focuses on a grasp of engineering fundamentals and not on information about some current or past technology. In our current world these technologies are out of date by the time the ink on the contract is dry. Recently, I was approached by a leading company for a very senior role. The in-house recruiter laid on his wonderful resume with world leading software companies before affording me the chance to explain my career-to-date. He then proceeded to ask me a number of questions on specific Java libraries and how they were used. This is all information that is readily available on reference sites and in API documentation and does not ...

Insights & Suggestions For Effective Software development

I decided to note a few observations on software development based on my experiences with a number of clients over a long career, this is work in progress and would appreciate any further input or comments. Topics Data science needs systematic approach Without Specification you are in trouble Interview for excellence Agile does not mean "do nothing" Devops first is not always productive Too many resources is as bad, or worse than too little Design before Develop, before Deploy 1. Data Science needs a `Systematic Approach` We live in a `Data Science` age, it's a buzz word. We have always had data science in some form or another, it's just that the availability, techniques, compute power and volume has exploded over the last few years. Principles are not new, they are standard engineering practises, however, in the new generation of `Data Science` these standard practises are often overlooked. Here are some general rules-of-thumb I have noted down : It makes no sense to...
