Re: [lpc2000] Olimex LPC-H2294 Intel Flash

2005-04-23 by Richard Duits

Hello Paulo,

We made the same mistake on one of our own prototype PCBs, and I did not 
get this working either. If you don't have any 8-bit devices on the bus, 
you may try to set A0 as GPIO pin and set/clear this pin to access the 
odd/even words of the flash. But keep in mind this is very tricky, 
because an access to the GPIO may happen while the EMC is still busy 
with a write request. Inserting a number of nops may help. I did not 
have any problems accessing the GPIO after a read request. Use a logic 
analyser or an oscilloscope to check your code.


Richard.
