Lpc2000

Hello room,

    I'm currently playing aroung the mcb2100 board (lpc2129 chip)  
using the IAR Embedded Workbench, and I need some serious help.

The only things I can get working are the LEDs. Otherwise the UARTs
and other features I want to use aren't responding. 

Do I have to right startup codes and stack configurations for this 
to work? If so what are the best steps that I should take?

Sorry I asked these questions. I've been using PICs all my life, but 
I'm very new to using ARM processors...a whole new world of fun.

Thanks a mil!
Leighton

You'll find some examples using the UARTs in the Files area.

Thanks leon 

The example UART code has some good helpful concepts that's easy to 
implement. Currently I'm playing with UART ISRs to create a simple 
monitor using Hyperterminal as input ( 57.6k baud 8-N-1, no flow 
control).

However, there's one glitch that I'm trying to correct. Whenever I 
send a char to the mcb2100 (lpc2129) while the board's sending a 
string to the terminal, the board freezes...kinda wierd. I think 
it's due the Rx/Tx buffers sharing the same memory address. Is this 
glitch avoidable?

Are you sure the problem is with the '2129? It could be down to 
Hyperterminal. It was written by Microsoft, after all. 8-) I use 
RealTerm:

Actually, Microsoft *didn't* write Hyperterminal -- Hilgraeve did.

http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/

But I agree, Hyperterminal is one of the worst terminal programs ever
written.

I like and use TeraTerm Pro:

and Bray's Terminal:

http://bray.velenje.cx/avr/terminal/

Both excellent and free terminal programs!

Worse still, MS though Hyperterm is so good they chose to bundle it.

Thanx for the realterm ref, I'm swapping today!

I like ProComm better.  I dunno what kind of black mail Hilgraeve 
has on Gates to get them to continue to ship that piece of junk.  I deal 
with a number of serial products, and some of the customers try to use 
HyperDoodoo, er, HyperTerm.  I tell them we don't support HyperTerm, and 
there are a number of payware and shareware options that are far 
superior.  I've done dozens of installs of NT4 and Win2K (all we use in 
the Windows line), and make damned sure that malware isn't loaded.  
During the first 6 or so months of our products, before banning 
HyperDoodoo, I probably wasted over 100 hours of my time to tech support 
with customers because of the problems it has.  I've seen high school 
freshmen write better code than HyperTerm.
