My pledge to wicked team.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do not release map57 fix, PLEASE.
Dont get me wrong, I as many out there would love to have it , but:
There is a grup of leachers , namely enigma programmers that are just waiting
to use your code to line their pockets.
As you know at least a week ago there was promised an enigma update 3.5 .
Supposed to solve many issues , major of them B*V.
My estimate is that appx 50% of enigmas sold were sold in canada ,intended for b3v.
Uptade was postponed many times, (everytime you get , a day or two at the latest).
I have my reasons and I explain them further down, to suspect that they're
using just another 8bit AVR chip in their "design",and leeching code from your
hard work.
Now if you posponed map57 release for a week or 2 , they may be forced to
release their "3.45"? software only for Dn, alienating 50% of their users, and
giving us a 100% proof of what they are.

Rant off, and now my findings:

Their "tech specs":
ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS CPU Specs -Connectivity: USB,SPI,I2C,USART -high-performance ARM 32-bit RISC Architecture -high-density 16-bit instruction Set -2 Mbytes of Flash -512 Kbytes of SRAM -16 Mbytes of external EEPROM. -low-power PLL Oscillator: 55MHz - 450MHz. -leader in MIPS/Watt: Max 350 MIPS -Power: Active 450uA @ 3.3V, 55MHz -Power Down: 10UA @ 3.3V Interface Specs -High-Speed USB 2.0 -USB mini connector -program with any PC (Windows/Linux) equipped with USB ports. -use any USB-mini to USB-standard cable for connectivity. -auto detected by most operating systems like Windows Optional JTAG Connectivity -support for JTAG protocols -wireless JTAG circuit board. Cryptography -RSA: 512,768,1024 and 2048-bits -DES/EDES -IDEA -ECC -MD2/4/5 -SHA/SHA-1 -Enigma Permutations Software (EnigmaEdit) -Custom editor and programmer -load/dump bins (ROM and EEPROM) -edit data types, encryption keys, etc. -fully customizable

After looking at some hi res pics of enigma, what I see:
One TQFP 44 pin IC, one SOIC 28 IC , one 8 pin IC (possibly an eeprom , But not 16MB) and one 4 pin (something , it may be just a bridge or some power
coverter, nothing significant anyway)

Now You find me a 32Bit ARM mpu in 44pin or 28 pin package!

But a quick glance at atmel site gives this :hxxp://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/param_table.asp?family_id=607&OrderBy=part_no&Dire ction=ASC

Just look for TQFP 44 in the last column.
See some familiar chips?
My vote is for atmega162, they used it before in mc1,mc2,ac2 and avrx.

Now for USB part , you dont have to look far:from atmel site "AT89C5131A-L
Description: Key Parameters:
USB C51-based Microcontroller with 32K Bytes Flash, 1K Byte Data EEPROM, 1280 bytes RAM, Low Voltage Range Power Supply: 3.0V to 3.6V, 7 USB Endpoints, TWI, SPI, UART, PCA.
Recommended device with extended voltage range: AT89C5131A-M (2.7-5.5V).

Available in SOIC 28."

Imho they're using the AT89C5131A-L just to do USB translation , the rest is
done just like before by atmega162/3.

I may be wrong, I did not checked all the ARM manufacturers sites, but my gut feeling is that I'm right.

would not be the 1st time specs were lied about. all too familiar.

you guys amaze me. you are true braniacs...i understood about half of that post...lol I have a long way to go...so much to learn. Im trying though...lol I understood the main concept though...their possibly stealing.
peace,

i could be wrong but isnt that the same specs that the magic card had but with out the USB connection?

What makes you think you're wrong?

I've allways supported Mili as one (if not the only) honest dealers arround.
But even I cannot support his really bad buisines deals.
Jeez Mili you could be selling 10x as much stuff if not for bad publicity (and justly)
Are those enigmas gonna compensate for lost revenue on unlockes etc?
Maybe it's time to look for a someone else, closer to homeland to do the job?
Europe is just too far.
Investing some cash may not be a bad idea.
Anyway , it's up to you to decide.
In my opinion wounds affected by MC/AVRX/Enigma can be healed.

that makes a lot of sense, (sarcasm)

Who ever the person is who posted that wants alot of people to do without tv just to prove a point. Real smooth if you ask me.
Is not all fixes from someone else's hard work.
God Dam egos man.

3M = 1 for all, all for 1... right?
