New version of the ISP-ICP bridge code from Philips available (V1.4)
Started by ●December 8, 2004
Hi,
Philips has released a new version of the ISP-ICP bridge code (V1.4).
The ISP-ICP bridge code can be used to program LPC900 devices using
FlashMagic from ESAcademy, the MCB900 evaluation board from Keil
plus the PAB9xx programming adapter boards.
The new version of the code can be downloaded here:
http://www.lpctools.com/downloads/prog90x.zip
Both the Keil MCB900 board as well as the PAB9xx Programming Adapter
Boards are available at http://www.lpctools.com.
FlashMagic can be downloaded for free at
http://www.esacademy.com/software/flashmagic/
Regards,
LPC Tools

Nice, but there is no source code.
Why?
Why philips does not release ICP specifications?
Why??????????????

ICP specs:

Also, the latest version if the Acqura PDS9xx emulator now allows for
ICP programming of all the parts:

Thank you, but I've still have these specifications.
They have a lot of lack points.
I have also this ICP/ISP bridge code:
http://www.promax.se/download/data/Semi/Philips/Micro_controller/lpc90x/ISP
ICP bridge source code/
This code has a lot of bugs: programming and erasing functions do not work.
By now, I've corrected the erasing functions. > Also, the latest version if the Acqura PDS9xx emulator now allows for

Ok, but what I need (and many people need) is something different: many people
like me needs to make a production-line custom programmer, to make easy for
the production line workers to program boards with LPC9xx online.
This means that I have to make custom hw and software. How can I make a custom
software with a market programmer like acqura? I can't, because acqura does
not provide the protocol specifications. So I have to do the hw too, but how
can I make the hw if Philips does not provide specs and code samples?
Moreover, someone needs to program the testing machines in order to make them
program automatically the LPC on the boards: how can they do that?
I cant' understand why Philips does not provide an official, decent
specifications on ICP.

That promax site has a copy of the PDF spec for the ICP. Also, the
Acqura has a PDF explaining how to make a production programmer out
of their PDS900. Then you might want to follow along with the forums
on www.8052.com

This specs are wrong and full of errors.
Do not use them, if you want to make an ICP programmer. > Then you might want to follow along with the forums on www.8052.com
It seems that noone knows anything on the 8052.com forum, too.
Anyway, I've finally got a full working ICP-ISP bridge code firmware (source):
I've fixed all the (many) bugs in the 1.2 code from Bauke Siderius and now I
have an ICP programmer with my own VB6 client software.
Maybe now I am the maximum authority in the world about LPC900 ICP!!!

I've got Version 1.8 of the ICP specs, dated 2004 June 07.
I got it by asking Philips via their online tech support.
They answered within a day.
For those who are interested, I uploaded it to the Yahoo Files
section. It's named ICP_LPC9xx_v18.pdf. There are annotations in it
that I added, including a timing spec that was originally missing,
but was supplied by asking Philips Tech Support.
I hope to have an inexpensive programmer available soon, which is why
I asked for the spec.

Where did you ask, exactly? (email, forum, web-form...)
I am using LPC900 from the early (bugged) versions of LPC932, and Philips has
never been willing to help... maybe they're changing politics... > For those who are interested, I uploaded it to the Yahoo Files

You are officially admitted in the ICP gotha.
The LPC900 ICP jedi.

Click on the "Support Center" button found at the very top of most
pages. It takes you here:
http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/support/
Then click Technical Support under the Products column and then Next.
Then click Microcontrollers and then Next.
You end up at a support form.
I don't know where it's sent from there. Maybe it's country specific
and the North American support is more familiar with micros? Maybe I
got lucky and caught them on an off day???
And thanks! I always wanted to be a Jedi! Where's my light saber???
