Error finishing flash operation

Started by Jean-Sebastien Stoezel February 22, 2009
Hi,

I have followed the Yagarto install procedure but I get the following
error while starting the debugger in flash mode: "Error finishing
flash operation". The debugger starts and I am able to step through
the example code (provided by Yagarto), however the target reset when
I it the addition line (for those who are not familiar with the
example, the code features a forever loop with an addition).

I use a custom made LPC2129-based board, which I can perfectly program
using the flashmagic. I use the modified files from the LPC21248
example available on the yagarto site. I did modify the jtagkey.cfg
because I am using an ARM-USB-OCD jtag interface from Olimex and the
flash size of the lpc2129 is only #256k. Here is the cfg.

Any idea on how to fix this issue?

Thanks,
