The CPU must be running to go into ISP mode. Make sure your power levels are correct.
Make sure your crystal circuit is correct and working. The crystal must be in the range 10MHz
to 25MHz for ISP to work. If in doubt remove the crystal and inject a clock via a 100pF
capacitor directly into the CPU.

An Engineer's Guide to the LPC2100 Series

Olimex publishes the schematics of their boards. Here is an example of an
LPC2148.

http://olimex.com/dev/pdf/LPC-P2148.pdf

It shows the JTAG and ISP connection. I wouldn't blindly copy the design,
but at least you can look in the LPC manual and figure out what each
pull-up and pull-down resistor does in the design. I used the information
to build my own LPC2148 board for a ham radio project.

1. Is your clock oscillator actually running?

2. What is your indication that it is not going into ISP mode?

3. Have you used the JTAG debug interface to find out what your
LPC2138 is actually doing after it comes out of reset?

On a completely new and untested PC board there are a very large
number of possibilities for problem locations, so a voltmeter, an
oscilloscope, and JTAG debugger are going to be your best helpers. For
instance, is the reset circuit actually working, are the power supply
voltages correct, is the oscillator actually running, and if all of
those are OK what is the ARM actually doing after reset??????

hi everyone,
i have designed my own lpc2138 pcb
all the components are mounted on the pcb and are correct ,
i also have a switch at P0.14 to put the controller board .
but the problem is that the controller is just not going into ISP mode .
i am using LPC2000 Flash Utility V2.2.1. by PHILIPS
for communication purpose i have used MAX3232 and the capacitors on MAX3232 are 100nF each

please guide me. what can be the problem that the controller LPC2138 is not going into ISP mode
regards,
rahul gaikwad

can i use the LD1085#33, as this one is similar to my current
LD1117#33 and maximal o/p current is 3A.
