Re: [lpc2000] external memory on LPC2214

2006-04-26 by Timo Bruderek

Hi Robert !

Thanks for your idea !
I have desoldered one of the memory chips and limited the SRAM to 2MB now.
At the moment, i have no error and uCLinux is booting up to a certain
point without any memory problem.

I will try to replace the other chip with a new one. Maybe it it damaged
by ESD or something else.

Before i desoldered, i meassured at the address lines and all seams ok.
No error so far ! It is a little bit strange.

Thanks,
Timo
