Re: Philips FLASH facility Problem

Thanks for the suggestions.
It turned out that my hex file was mapped to external RAM not internal 
FLASH so I guess the LPC2000 utility was objecting to that. An error 
message indicating this would have been nice though!

the HEX file didn't terminated with ":00000001FF". So, when I set my 
IAR linker format variant to "end only with :00000001FF" everything 
started working.
