Hello there I am upgrading MCU on our MICR check reader with the LPC2000 Flash Utility V2.2.2. This device is connected to serial port (DB9f). I do the steps with the manual I have. In this manual, first I read the Part ID and Boot Loader ID of the device. Then I erase and Blank check. All these parts are done properly but when I want to Upload my HEX file to the flash the Error message is occurred and say "Invalid or Unsupported HEX file!". Can any one help me this problem? Just a little point: In the manual is written the XTAL Freq should be 11059 KHZ and Baud Rate 57600. I use Windows Operating system and change the Baud Rate of COMM port to 57600 but don't know how to change the frequency? Any idea? Thanks in advance.

It should look something like this: http://margo.student.utwente.nl/el/misc/intl_hex.htm> Can any one help me this problem? > Just a little point: In the manual is written the XTAL Freq should be > 11059 KHZ and Baud Rate 57600.

Any idea?The frequency in the flash utility screen should match the crystal frequency on your device. It has nothing to do with windows.

Hi When I was searching this group I have seen this format. I checked it that time and again. I think the format of the HEX file is correct but I have copied the 3 first and the last line of it: :020000040000FA :1000000018F09FE 518F09FE518F09FE . . . . :00000001FF Is it any thing wrong? By the way the person who has sent me the manual says he can upgrade the Flash by the same HEX file. Thanks for your reply.

For comparison, here's the first three lines from a simple "blink the LED" ARM project's hex file: :020000040000FA :1000000018F09FE508F04FE208F04FE208F04FE2E9 :1000100008F04FE208F04FE2F0FF1FE508F04FE272>By the way the person who has sent me the manual says he can upgrade >the Flash by the same HEX file.By "can" does he mean that he is capable of or that he has? -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

There is an entire chapter in ppmanual, available as ppmanual.zip, on hex format and rbm format files.

I have just made a mistake about the file I am using. I just create a page break in it. The file I can't upload to the Flash looks like this: :020000040000FA :1000000018F09FE518F09FE518F09FE518F09FE5C0 :1000100018F09FE5805F20B9F0FF1FE518F09FE51D :10002000980000004000000044000000480000006C . . . :10C430004CC4000000400040000000004CC400005C :0CC4400000000000000000402C3A00004A :00000001FF I have collected some information about the HEX file format and now I am more familiar with it. But there is a problem. While I am opening this file with Notepad, the format of the file does not look like this.But when I open it with softwares that can read HEX files like Tiny HEX, the format is like above. So I decided to make the HEX file again. I copied the information that was shown in Tiny Hexer software in a Notepad and arranged the page breaks same as above. But again I could not upload the file. What is starange is that when I use the below HEX file, I can upload ut to the Flash: :10001300AC12AD13AE10AF1112002F8E0E8F0F2244 :10000300E50B250DF509E50A350CF5081200132259 :03000000020023D8 :0C002300787FE4F6D8FD7581130200031D :10002F00EFF88DF0A4FFEDC5F0CEA42EFEEC88F016 :04003F00A42EFE22CB :00000001FF I am confused!!!

Go to http://www.sourceforge.net/ and search on "programmer's editor" for a lot of better choices. Or go to http://www.vim.org/ and download the One True Editor. ;-) -- Rich Webb Norfolk, VA

Wordpad is far less broken than Notepad, but still vastly inferior to something like PFE or emacs, or vim, or several dozen other (free) real editors.> Go to http://www.sourceforge.net/ and search on "programmer's > editor" for a lot of better choices.

Watching an inexperienced "ed" users is pretty amusing. I am (and always will be) in the latter categeory. I doubt that there have been any new entrants in the former for a long time... -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! I need to discuss at BUY-BACK PROVISIONS visi.com with at least six studio SLEAZEBALLS!!
