Hello, Downloading to boards such as Keil's MCB2103 via the Philips flash utility requires an RS232 port. However, most new laptops don't have one these days. In a post a while ago I read that one of the forum members (Varuzhan) did this but it wasn't with the newer LPC2103. So, is it likely that any USB-RS232 adapter could work or do I have to get a particular version? I am asking because this is a tough issue with other uC. For example, the JTAG interface for the MSP430 won't work with RS232-Parallel adapters even though some adapter vendors claim 100% compatibility. Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/
