Re: Unreliable Secondary JTAG Connection

2005-11-10 by bruce_p1

Yup, that' what I did.  

I'll let everyone know what I find out.  I heard all the LPC chips 
are getting rev'd to fix errata soon, so this could be good timing 
if it truely is a random issue that can be fixed in silicon and it's 
not something that can be prevented on the board itself.
