Re: In progress: IAP from external miniSD card and/or USB

2005-02-05 by smt5211

Hi,

We are currently about 3 weeks away from releasing our own open-source
miniSD based flash bootloader for the LPC210x. We'll upload this into
the files section of this group. I can't make any firm promises, as we
may yet decide to licence a 3rd party bootloader instead of releasing
our own open source one. We dont want to reinvent the wheel.

As an aside, the Ashling tools provides the C source code for a
LPC21xx based RAM bootloader via JTAG. There is also an open source
miniSD driver with FAT16 support at
http://www.egr.msu.edu/classes/ece480/goodman/fall/group05/work/index.html
, and open source FAT12/16/32 support in eCos (www.ecoscentric.com).

Shane.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
