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. -Bruce --- In lpc2000@yahoogroups.com, Tom Walsh <tom@o...> wrote: > > bruce_p1 wrote: > > >Tom, > > > >What you describe is the norm for secondary JTAG debugging and is > >well understood.
