Re: LPC Internals Question

John,

If you are kind enough to point out what I said is incorrect, I am
happy to oblige you with evidence provided you can get Philips to
assure us here that they do not object in anyway to disclosure of my
findings in this forum.

As to the boot process flowchart, you seem to have missed an earlier
discussion where I pointed out with reference to boot loader code that
 the flowchart is incorrect or at best oversimplified.

The first three instructions executed by the boot loader serve to
"hastiliy" block JTAG debugging, and then later on, JTAG debugging is
renabled only if CRP is not in effect.  So the device wakes up with
JTAG enabled, and from memory, Philips admitted to this in this forum.

Back to you.

Jaya
