Problem getting out of built-in bootloader

Started by acetoel December 26, 2009
Hello,

I have two LPC2138, I'm using a MAX2323 for programming them using FlashMagic with the built-in bootloader. I can program them without errors, and at any baudrate, they are programmed very well. But I cannot exit the bootloader. Even If I put P0.14 to VCC using a 10KOhm (or 22KOhm) resistor, and "press" reset several times. If then I go to FlashMagic and read the Device signature, it is read correctly. So I think that the device enters ISP Mode but never exit it.

What can I do? I'm usign Olimex LPC2138 board as reference, and my PC2138 firmware versions are 2.0 and 2.2. While FlashMagic version is the lastest one.

Is there any way I can download a new version? Can this fix my problem?

Thanks!

Looking at the documentation for the latest version of Flash Magic, I don't see where it will compute and place the 2's complement of the other vectors at 0x0000 0014. I thought it used to compute this automatically.

So, perhaps it is up to you to know the checksum and just put it at the proper address. When you have it correct, the sum of all the vectors will total 0.

For the 2148, section 21.4.2 "Criterion for valid user code" in the User Manual describes the requirement.

FWIW, lpc21isp does this automatically.

Ordinarily, the vectors branch through a table of indirect addresses. As a result of this and the fact that the table usually immediately follows the vectors, the checksum is a constant because the vectors are constant. Once you have it figured out, you are good to go as long as you don't change the front end of the startup file.

hi,
try using keil version 40.0 or 3.The signature automaticaly calculated and inserted duringcompilation

So you think that FlashMagic is not correctly programming my devices, and that leads to an error when trying to run the code from flash?

I will try LPC21ISP, and also contact FlashMagic.

Thanks

Hi,
did you measure the voltage on pin 0.14 to make sure it is on a high level during reset? You said to pulled it up, I understand my question is whether you verified with measurements.
Flash Magic for the LPC2138 has been out for many years. There is a very minor chance that a new version does not perform correctly with an older device but rather unlikely.
IMHO something else is wrong. How do you know it is programming correctly? can you read back the program? If so, please check location 0x14, if it reads "0" or "0xff" that's the reason the bootloader starts every time. If not, your program will start at address "0x0000" There should be a branch to you initialization and after that a branch to main.

Richard,
whether to document the feature about filling in the 2's complement on address 0x14 has always been a discussion because it confuses more people and creates questions than it does clarify things. This test of valid program has been a invention of Philips/NXP and it is in there and will stay in there for compatibility reasons probably until the end of days. In many parts of the documentation it is simply omitted to avoid confusion for the software engineer.

Cheers, Bob

Hello,

I had erased the MCU, and read back..everything was 0xFF.

Then I programmed with my Code, and then read it... These are the first lines...

In the Hex file generated by the compiler (GNUARM) I see this
:1000000018F09FE518F09FE518F09FE518F09FE5C0
:1000100018F09FE50000A0E1F0FF1FE514F09FE558

There is a 0x00 at 0x14, but when I program the MCU, in the memory dump I see somethings different from 0x14 to 0x17.

That's good because your programmer calculated and inserted the checksum for you.

Now, if you break out the first 8 words and add them up, they should total 0x00000000.

I didn't try that.
