Support

Micro Digital support and documentation are done by the developers who wrote the code, so they have the expertise to do it well. Many customer testimonials praise our support; it is a top priority here at Micro Digital.

Tips for Difficult Problems

The typical case is that you report the problem to us, and we make suggestions to try. Within a few cycles, most problems are solved.

If not, create a minimal test case that demonstrates the problem and runs on the evaluation board we used to test your release. Best is if you can create it from a pure copy of your release with only a little code added. Otherwise, start with a copy of your application and reduce it repeatedly until very little is left.

If you can create a minimal case that fails on the evaluation board, send the code to us. When we can get a problem onto our bench running on a standard (tested) platform and with a minimum of other code, we are usually very efficient at solving it.

If the test case runs on the evaluation board but not on yours, compare the schematics. You may need to try modifications to your board.

If the test case runs on both boards, but the application does not, make the test case and application increasingly similar until the important difference is found. Of course, experiment with a copy of the application.

In extreme cases, if the above suggestions do not work, you can contract with us for consulting help. We suggest a PO limited to 20 hours. Ask us for our current rate. If it turns out that it is our problem, we will not charge you. To maximize our efficiency please assemble the full hardware + software development environment, test thoroughly to make sure everything works and the problem can be reproduced, and then pack and ship everything to us including power supplies, cables, manuals, schematics, etc. Please also prepare instructions for how to use your system and how to reproduce the problem. Sorry, but we cannot send our product developers to your site.
