Following is the few > DWORDS from bootloader (Cut and paste from hyperterminal, pls > use any C-compiler to generate to Bin if needed): The way I read the User Manual (Section 19.7) seems to agree with every other piece of information I have read re: CRP and JTAG. By default, JTAG is enabled. If CRP is enabled, JTAG is disabled by the boot code at startup. According to Philips, this occurs in the first few instructions while it may take many instructions for JTAG to get control. So, by the time JTAG can stop the processor, it is already disabled. That's the theory and there isn't one single shred of PROOF that it doesn't work exactly that way. NOBODY has EVER posted PROOF that the protected code can be accessed. PROOF as in "here's the code, test it yourself" or "here's the procedure using this specific JTAG device and this specific piece of software". Something that can be duplicated by anyone so inclined. Everything that has been posted is just wild speculation and innuendo. But, hey, if you are unconvinced, and given that you have just jumped from one processor to another, take this opportunity to change manufacturers. There are many... Maybe some have a better way to do CRP, maybe not. Richard
