Roll Your Own bootloader

2006-04-30 by phlpcmicro

Hi,

Has any one considered "rolling their own" boot loader for the LPC2000
series?

Purpose - so that P0.14 can be released from the POR bootup
requirement.... and used for all GPIO actions.

Say for example instead of looking at P0.14 (GPIO) on POR  looking at
UART Rx incoming data...

The Philip P89V51 (80c51) series looks at the incomming UART traffic
looking for 'U' character for ~ 400mS  - then deciding weather to
execute bootload operation or jump to 0x000 (user code).

Philips offered up the bootloader hex files when there was an
improvement on the bootloader of some parts  AND a method for
uploading the bootloader.

Has anyone considered "Roll Their Own Bootloader"?

Obviously  "Rolling Your Own" can be thwart with danger.

Regards
Joe G.

Applogies if I have missed a thread that has already covered this subject.
