Lpc2000

Thanks for the reply.  I started looking at the Wiggler because it 
was mentioned in a "Circuit Cellar" article and seemed a good place 
to start.  Also, I'm trying to keep my initial investment down while 
I'm figuring out the basics--I found a Wiggler compatible JTAG at 
www.olimex.com for $20!!!  I couldn't believe it.  I searched 
through the Abatron website and their distributor but couldn't find 
a price for the bdi2000.  You have to request a quote which tells me 
it must be WAY up there.
The one thing I also found on the olimex website was this quote:

"In general: LPC21xx are very new parts, for some unknown reason 
Philips doesn't disclosure how to program LPC21xx Flash via JTAG 
which make hard time for the IDE developers. Perpahs Philips have 
problems with the Flash programming as it is now and is going to 
change the protocol in future and this is why they force all to use 
their bootloader IAP protocol. The only vendor so far who work this 
around is Rowley, they first load in RAM small own bootloader who 
then get data from JTAG and fed to IAP to write Flash segments thus 
making their product easies to use so far with LPC21xx parts."

Can anyone confirm this or is this old news?
