Lpc2000

Umm... OK => by studying the bootloader, may be you can figure out
some silly mistakes by boot loader writer making CRP vulnerable to
attack. But pls reverse/disassembly on a correct CRP enabled chip.
And Let us know if you have some proven way of cracking the
protection. There is supposed to have enough hardware protection
(even if that H/W protection of "cannot crack into the JTAG enabled
window" is by "coincidence" and not original function by design).

The P89C51RD+ was also done in the same bootloader way (except
it has protection lock bits to disable the parallel programming)
Somwhow had not heard of anybody cracked the chip...

I'm happy as long as there is no simple way of cracking LPC2xxx...
Regards
