Making it accessible
I had a conversation with a customer in Pennsylvania this morning. He asked if we could provide an additional feature in Xwire (what he wanted is irrelevant to this post).
I explained that we had deliberately kept Xwire conceptually simple and uncluttered, effectively foregoing possible features, in order to make it accessible to our users. Xwire simple allows a block of memory in one board to be automatically copied into another board, and vice-versa. It is very easy to configure, with little more to specify than the memory ranges and slave board address. Once started it runs itself automatically. It is (was) easy to document.
