Flash Magic and LPC2378 STK

Started by jdauchot May 10, 2008
Hi All

I would like to know why using flash magic and the olimex 2378 STK board
is soo slow to connect and download code to it.

Is there a licence magic trick I need to apply to this application and
where can I purchase it

How slow is slow?
What baudrate do you set FM to?

Anyway, posting your question on the FM forum probably gets you better response.

LPC2000 Flash Utility does not support the LPC23xx or LPC24xx parts.

Hi All
I have now solved the problem comunicating with LPC-2378 and Flash
Magic.

Flash Magic does not work very well with Targus USB to Serial
Converters. I am now using a standard serial port and it works fine
with that.
Has anyone had simular problems?

Hi Jean-Jacques,

Not me. I use a IOGEAR USB to RS232 converter with no problems at all.

Charles

Some do, some don't work.

To help figure out which ones do and which ones don't work, please post your experience here:
