Hi All,
I am very new to ARM/NXP23xx boards and learning. I want to have some
information on how to program its Flash. If this type of question has been
previously discussed, then please send the reference.
I am using NXPs LPC2378 Kickstart board (of IAR) and IAR Workbench to
compile and download an application. This works fine, but I would like to
compile and download an application without using IAR workbench. Just after
creating a binary, download it some how and execute it. I have a USD JTAG
interface and no serial cable for this board. Can anybody tell me how to do
this?
I think what I am asking about is writing data in FLASH. If so, how to do
that?
Shall be waiting for the response.
Regards

To generate hex file for loading via Serial connection to LPC2xxx
bootloader:
With IAR 4.x:
Project Options (Atl+F7)
Linker
Extra Output Tab
Enable - Generate extra output file
Select Output format to say intel-extended
Change default Output file name to have .hex extension.
With IAR 5.x:
Project Options (Alt+F7)
Output Converter
Enable - Generate additional output
Motorola or intel-standard

Either of these tools can be used to load a hex file via serial cable:

If you want to load to Flash for debugging via JTAG try out my IAR4 port
of the NXP examples for the LPC23xx. It's my most popular download.
