Re: [lpc2000] LPC2138 won't communicate with the Philips flash utility.

2005-11-09 by Peter Homann

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply. The circuit diagram has P0.14 connected to the com 
port via a jumper. I'll try holding it low manually as suggested by Zdravko.

Do I need to release it before programming? Or, can I leave it tied low 
for the duration of the programming?

Cheers,

Peter.
