Hello Brendan

Thanks you for these informations.
Concerning the second micro I need it because it contains special
features (audio processing particulary that the LPC don't have.

An Engineer's Guide to the LPC2100 Series

I confirm that the version lpc21isp-148 compiles and works just fine
on MacOS 10.4 (PPC G4) and on Linux (debian on IXP425 = ARM v5 little
endian).
In both case lpc21isp is talking to the device via an USB to serial
adapter.

There is a small wrinkle on the mac though: with the adapter (only
solution since there is no serial port), it will always assert RTS
which may put the board in ISP mode even when unwanted. My
workaround: disable the RTS to P0.14 connection and assert P0.14
manually when programming.

Lilian:

IAP would have to be executed once per sector.

Sectors on the LPC210x parts are 4 Kbytes.

Flash on the LPC2103 is 32 Kbytes.

IAP would have to be executed _8_ times.

If IAP looks like a nightmare to you, use ISP.

Subject: [lpc2000] Difference between ISP and IAP

Hello,

I'm working on a LPC2103 with IAR compiler and I'm looking at the best
method to reprogram its flash code memory using UART. I checked the
AN10356 and AN10256 from NXP, browsed forums and groups and I still
don't know which is the best method.
ISP seems to be simpler since I understood that the bootloader is able
to performed all the work while IAP look like a nightmare.
What I understood about IAP, is that I will have to execute it 4 times
to reprogram the whole flash since the RAM size is 8Kb and Flash size
is 32Kb (4x8Kb2Kb).

Note: I'm able to control P0.14 in my system.

Could anyone help me ?

Thanks !!

There is a version of LPC21ISP.c in the Files section. It is older
that the version I am using which is 1.31. I don't recall where I got
it but probably via Google.

In any event, this is the one I use in my makefiles to program the
device. It is written in C and may be portable to some other
processor than the PC but reworking 2580 lines of code is a chore.

You don't have to use the LPC2000 flash utility to program: any program
that meets the interface spec can do the job - there's quite a few
alternatives already (see the Files section for a couple).

Personally, though, if you're programming it from another micro, I'd be
inclined to put a small loader on the LPC part and have it talk to the
programming part: the ISP interface isn't particularly simple to
program from another micro. By the time you program something to meet
the ISP interface, you'd just as easily program IAP.

Come to think of it why do you need a 2nd micro? I'd just leave it out
and attach the external memory direct (i.e. bite the bullet and make
the IAP calls: they're not that difficult).

Brendan

Thanks for your answer but assuming the fact that I don't want to use
LPC2000 flash utility, how do it is possible to use ISP? I would like
to download new code from an external memory to the LPC using another
microcontroler connected to the LPC and to the external memory.
Is it possible to create on PC a "ready to send" file that I could
put on my external memory and then send it byte per byte in the
flash ?

Thanks
Lilian

Using ISP with the LPC2000 Flash Utility (version 2.2.3) is far easier
than creating your own IAP routines because everything is done already.
It can also control the RST and P0.14 pins on your LPC2103 so that you
just have to push one button on the program and it resets, programs, and
then runs your code on the 2103 automatically.
