Lpc2000

I'm programming an lcp2106 with the IAR tools and J-Link, and program was
dieing.  As a check I turned on JLink's ability to verify a flash download
by reading it back and comparing.

The verification fails with a series of errors like this:

Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x000000F9
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000024
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000028
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x000000FC
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000101
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000104
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x0000012C
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000110
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000020
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000070
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x000000A8
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x000000D4
Target inconsistency detected at memory address 0x00000121

These are always in the same place in memory.  I lowered the JTAG speed to
minimum, and this did not help, and the errors stayed exactly the same.  I
also switched between ARM the THUMB mode and they stayed the same.

It's a new chip, and other big programs that I've downloaded with Philips
downloader run fine.  I don't have another chip handy to do a comparison.

Is this likely to be faulty flash memory?  How often does this happen in new
chips?  Could it be a power supply problem?  (although the voltages seem
correct)

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I had similiar problems with IAR,Jlink and the 2106

I found that if you had code in the 2106 flash with the PLL enabled I 
would get similiar problems as above. In order to program the 
flash/debug with Jlink the 2106 flash had to be blank or running code 
without the PLL enabled.

Also make sure in the debugger options for Jlink you have -

1. philips LPC flash download ticked.

2. reset asserts hardware reset pin ticked.

In the general options target -

1. The chip radio button is selected with the lpc2106.i79 file

with all this done and after many days of frustration I'm now happily 
using Jlink to debug

Thanks Doug!!  I've been struggling for days to get it to run, and finally
it does :-))) .  I had overlooked setting "reset asserts hardware reset" .
IAR should really document this better given how popular the 21xx chips are.

I have installed IAR EWARM 3.40, which should have support for 
Macraigor RAVEN JTAG. When I lauch C-SPY debugger with the JTAG setup 
configured, the code downloads correctly and when the application 
starts it jump to the main function. The problem is, when I go step 
by step with the debugger, I get an error ("macraigor driver error") 
saying that only to breakpoints can be set in ROM. Could anybody 
explain me how to download the code in RAM instead of ROM (perhaps 
with a linker file example) or what to in order to put several 
breakpoints in my code with the IAR IDE?

Thank you very much. Regards,
