Hi, 

 
I am planning to buy Ulink-2, can i connect ulink-2 by parallel
port or serial port, i don&amp;#39;t want to open USB socket in my
computer. 

 
I am using win2k.

&lt;i&gt;demotivate developers over here to be treated as untrustworthy
thieves...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
In UK, USA an contract will work. but in India, all are working
for counting the days, and passing time;&lt;br /&gt;
that is why, you will not find any software products from India for
general public.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
not writing comments on source, not transferring the knowledge to
freshers is a general practice of all programmers, leaving the jobs
in without intimation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ulink-2</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/149778?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 Sep 2007 03:20:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:d6fa8e1e-6c3c-4d89-ab8d-9fd9040a243b</guid><dc:creator>ImPer Westermark</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
If source code is available, a cheap digital camera and some OCR
software will allow a thief to get the source.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Just flashing part of the screen can be used with photo diodes to
emit the data (some pulse watches uses this method for
programming).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Any developer with a bit of skill - and access to a serial port -
will be able to stream out the source through the serial port, and
fill up a Palm or similar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
A printer port is obviously also a good source to push out the
code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
The speaker connector on the PC can be used (also a method used by
some pulse watches).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Guess what you can do with the keyboard or mouse interfaces?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
What bandwidth can you get from the caps-lock LED on the keyboard?
Any other LED that may be controlled on the machine?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
If a developer have access to a machine and read rights to the
source code, you can be pretty sure that the code is possible to
steal without the need of manually write down the text. So, your only
option is to trust your developers and give them access to the code,
and to make sure that no other people get access to the code. A
factory doesn&amp;#39;t need source code for producing units. Neither do
management, service, support etc.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Just realize that there is nothing magical about the USB
interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ulink-2</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/149272?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 Sep 2007 03:03:21 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:63acb7f2-2748-460f-92b5-08da0afa8369</guid><dc:creator>Rakesh Kumar</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
thanks for your comments.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I found the solution on microsoft to disable only external usb
drives. :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ulink-2</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/149268?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 Sep 2007 02:15:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:922306cd-7f78-446a-947e-11fd86541918</guid><dc:creator>Andy Neil</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
You can, of course, use uLink for debugging &amp;amp; flash
programming without access to the source code.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Again, only you can evaluate the tradeoff in loss of productivity
without source-level debugging, and possible motivation issues,
against the risk of source code theft...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ulink-2</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/148835?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:59:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:ebf04728-095d-45b8-a277-b9fa3b4f0c37</guid><dc:creator>Andy Neil</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;Installing Locks on the doors preventing from the gentlemens,
thiefs can crack any locks&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
In other words, locks merely inconvenience the honest, everyday
user without really detering the thief.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Sad, but true.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;b&gt;:-(&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
So, what is your point here?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
It says to me that all this locking of USB ports is not really
going to prevent data theft, but it is certainly going to hamper your
development!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Only you can work out the risk/benefit tradeoff in your particular
environment...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ulink-2</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/148837?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Sat, 08 Sep 2007 01:54:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:7c2619f4-6d25-46e3-b600-c7665ef9b068</guid><dc:creator>Andy Neil</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;the USB storage devices are available very cheap. and easy to
hide.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
But then the same has always been true of floppy disks!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
I beleive there are tools available to secure against such data
theft?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Anyhow, back to your original question, &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;can i connect ulink-2
by parallel port or serial port&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; - the answer is, clearly,
&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;b&gt;No!&lt;/b&gt;&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
So that leaves you with the quandary: which is the bigger risk -
your developers stealing your source code, or your developers being
under-productive due to inadequate tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Your culture may well be different, but it would certainly
demotivate developers over here to be treated as untrustworthy
thieves...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Ulink-2</title><link>https://community.arm.com/thread/124084?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Sep 2007 22:14:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">dd9e70c8-6d3c-4c71-b136-2456382a7b5c:a6697376-ba45-4f6e-be3d-3a41eac6cdd5</guid><dc:creator>Rakesh Kumar</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;i&gt;That can also be done via the parallel port, serial port,
etc...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
the USB storage devices are available very cheap. and easy to

&lt;p&gt;
Hope you recall the last issue of Microsoft OS source code
available on Internet.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
Presently I removed the USB devices setting from BIOS and block
the socket.&lt;/p&gt;
