Lpc2000

Hi all, I'm just setting up for development with the Elektor ARMee 
LPC2106 module.  I would prefer to do the development under Linux 
rather than Windows.  I have the GNU toolchain built and running, now 
for the final bit.  Is there a flash downloader for Linux or does 
using the Philips utility effectively force me to switch to Windows.

Thanks
Steve

isn't the lpc21isp.exe by Martin Maurer said to be available under
linux as well? Don't know for sure, but googling for it may be
worthwhile.

lpc21isp has worked well for me in linux (Gentoo distribution). I have 
been using it successfully with an Olimex P2106 demo board and a custom 
2138 board that utilizes an FTDI USB virtual serial port between the 
workstation and target.

I just couldn't resist that, a night of chasing an obscure bug in my 
program left me in a foul mood.  heh.

I have used the lpc21isp.c to program the LPC21xx parts.  It is 
problematic, but it does work.  You can probably find the most recent 
copy at: http://www.aeolusdevelopment.com

What I finally did was to write my own uploader.  It took a few days to 
write, but I needed something that I understood how it worked and could 
change it if necessary.  AFAICT, the lpc21isp.c is a multi purpose tool 
to program the AVR and LPC2000 parts in standalone (running under linux) 
or can be incorported into the controller to program other controllers.

For my needs, the Flash programming utility in the Abatron BDI2000 makes 
programming the Flash memories so much easier.  There are two LPC2000 
parts on my board, LPC2106 + LPC2138, and they are daisy chained 
together.  The Abatron will program either one using a simple telnet 
session.

I have been using lpc2k_pgm by Paul Stoffregen. Slight mods needed to
build
with Fedora Core 4. Works great with Olimex 2214 board.

Notes: USB/Terminal driver in Linux hangs at random times.
           File selector not very intuitive.

A link anyway.  Also one to Paul's graphical download utility.  I don't 
think it's been tracking the variations as closely but I haven't looked in 
a bit so I could be wrong.

I would be curious as to what you found to be the problem areas.  I've just 
done a revision adding multiple file inputs and am about to (probably 
slowly) merge it in with the changes others have made to the program and 
maybe convince Martin it's time to release another  non-test 
version.  While I'm at it maybe I can address some of the things you ran 
into or note them as items that need addressing.

Hello Tom,

a few correction:

The latest official version (1.33) can be found on
http://guest.engelschall.com/~martin/lpc21xx/isp/index.html
It runs under Windows, Cygwin and Linux. If you have another OS, you must
compile it yourself.

Development versions (currently version 1.34) can be found on
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lpc21isp/    (registration needed)

This is wrong: lpc21isp is mainly for LPC2000 parts, AVRs are not supported.
But there is also a support for Analog Devices ADUC 70xx (but i haven't
tested these).
But if you need help, feel free to contact me !

Regards,

        Martin

That may be related to minor differences in RS232 support and
handshaking of the DST/DTR and/or RTS/CTS lines. I initially had more
problems with the Philips utility than with lpc21isp.

I do main development under Linux, but I use Windows for on-site bug
fixing with a laptop. I use lpc21isp on both platforms.

Kind regards,
