Taking your suggestion, I also downloaded the Rowly software. I think
its better out of the box than the ARM SDK.

For instance ARM shipped me a Multi ICE and the drivers for Real ICE.

Makes it hard.

Tried it out - works like a charm now re. the Flash download.

Thanks Leon, I didn't see it - the home page only mentioned
V1.1.
Found it at bottom of DL page, getting hardly 0.6 Kb/s though :-)
Is the server cooking ? heh.

Scroll down the page. It's at the bottom.

Thanks Michael.
Was this around just recently ? I only saw 1.1.4 ?

As Jon suggested - try the 1.2 version. We've added a lot more
initialisation to the reset script to try to get something that
resembles a reset on the LPC2000.

Hi,

As I had mentioned before, if you're able to briefly assert P0.14 LOW
while you start the debug (ie. while loader.exe is programming), then
that
will solve the problem, I'm quite sure.
I have NO idea why this should be.
I've reported this erroneous condition to Rowley Asscs ages ago, but
they
weren't
able to reproduce the problem I think. I run on WIN98SE, so it's good to
see
that the good old "it's because you're running 98SE" argument indeed is
irrelevant,
since the problem is observed on the _magic_ XP as well :-)
In my situation I used a homebrew "wiggler" I quickly banged together on
some veroboard for the test.

If you have access to the ISP UART it's possible to download and execute
a program in RAM that turns on the secondary JTAG port. The enabling of
the pins appears to survive a reset so this only has to be done on power
up. Some of
our customers are using this with CrossWorks to program the flash and
debug without losing too many IO lines.

Firstly, are you using the latest 1.2 RC release
(http://www.rowley.co.uk/arm/arm_1_2_0.zip)? This version has
improved LPC2000 support.

It sounds like you are having reliability problems with the
Wiggler/JTAG connection. Try the following:

1. Turn on automatic load verification (Tools | Option | Target |
General | Enable Load Vericiation) so you can tell if the program in
memory matches the executable file.
2. Reduce the JTAG clock frequency (increase the JTAG Clock Divider
target property).
3. If your still having problems, reduce the length of your parallel
port cable as much as possible (I personally always plug the Wiggler
directly into the back of the PC).

Call me embarrassed! Thanks everyone for your help on this. I
totally missed the lookup tables that translate the bits for the P
and M values. Things make much more sense now!

The CrossWorks startup code contains these lines:

/* Configure PLL Multiplier/Divider */
mov r1, #0x24 /* multipler = 4, divider = 1 */

I both assumed the values were chosen for a 14.7 Mhz crystal as this
is the frequency found on most demo boards (for serial port reasons)
and I also read the comment as M = 4 and P = 1. In reality, those
are just the raw bit values MSEL and PSEL and they get translated
into M = 5 and P = 2 by the magic tables.

I and others still seem to be stuck with the flash loading problem,
but at least the PLL is working right now! Progress!

Thanks again to all.
