I'm having trouble getting my JTAG Wiggler to work
with an Olimex LPC-P1 (2106 based prototype board).
It works fine with my Olimex LPC2124 based prototype 
board, but always gives me a "cable disconnected" or
"cannot enter debug mode" error.  The board resets
properly when I start OCD Commander or ocdlibremote, 
but then enters full run mode.  I have tried this with 
the DEBUG jumper on and off at all possible speed 
settings for the Wiggler.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Does anyone have any recommendations for 2214 header boards?  We're looking
for fully assembled and tested with at least 1M RAM.  (We've had good luck
with Olimex's 2106 but according to their web site their 2214s aren't
available yet.)

TIA,

Curt

Thanks, Bill 

We've seen that one already.  It's got a lot more than we need but it
certainly is a fallback.  BTW, where are you located?

Bill I am designing with a LPC2214 and in one o 2 group email I read 
that JTAG port 1 if enabled also enables the trace pins on the mcu and 
then could be better to use JTAG port 2 if trace isn't needed. IS this

Both my genuine Wiggler and my own version of it work fine with the '2106 on 
my boards.

If I remember correctly there is only 1 JTAG port on the 2214 and
(I know) that enabling it does not necessarily enable the trace port.

there should be no reason ARM-JTAG/Wiggler to work on one and not 
work on other board, it may be something with your software settings 
if there are any.
BTW did you try Rowley's IDE? This is what we use with our ARM-JTAG 
exclusively to test/program our development boards and it works just 
fine, we never figured out how to use OCD/GNU tools (I'm definitely 
not DOS fan) nor what is more important how to make them 
program/debug with LPC flash.

Buried in the Macraigor web site's FAQ is the following important 
advice:

"What mode must my parallel port be in?

As far as the parallel port is concerned, a Wiggler is a simple uni-
directional device. It will work with the parallel port in any mode 
EXCEPT "ECP". It will NOT work in ECP mode at all.

Remember, the mode is set in the CMOS bios of your computer."

Boot your desktop PC and get it into "setup" mode. On my computer, 
you hit the DEL key just as it boots up to do this. Make sure that 
the parallel port is NOT in ECP mode (the default for modern PCs). I 
found that ECP mode gave me the "cable disconnected" message.

Good luck.

We've interfaced the FTDI FT245BM chip with the LPC2106 before (a nice USB
solution) but a new project doesn't allow us the 12 GPIO pins required by
the FT245BM chip, so we're looking at the FT232BM chip with the UART
interface.  Has anyone done this integration before?  Specifically, is it
possible to use UART0 (only Tx and Rx pins) or is it necessary to use the
full complement of pins available on UART1?

TIA,

Curt

You can use TX and RX only but you want to watch out for UART speed 
as FT232 can run really fast. It would be a lot better if you use 
handshaking lines CTS and RTS, or at least CTS. If your application 
require real time then you would need to use RI (ring) as this pin 
will empty the FT232 buffer without waiting for timeout. DTR can be 
used as a digital output to control something like reset, boot 
loader...etc.

Good luck

That's amazing!  You got an MSP430 compiler working with an ARM and
wiggler?  ;-)

Hi 
 
I once encunterd the same problem with the Olimex bord & wiggler 
and  the OCD and it dosen't worked well (only reset work via the software) the same problem encunterd with the IAR C compiler when used with the Olimex LPC2106  board  & wiggler 
 
As I recall  the problem can be divided in to 2 categoris 
 
1) Reset problem : the Olimex board use simple RC type to reset the CPU 
    I don't remember the chip (LPC2106)revision but as i can recall the first chip revision 
    use to have reset problem couse the chip to hang up. 
 
2) Speed the computer speed is too high to handel the wiggler data transfer 
 
I manage to overcame the problem using the qudravox C compiler as I can recall it work well with the Olimex wiggler and LPC2106 board !

For the JTAG speed troubles, use Chameleon POD and his
RAVEN -rtck configuration. Works fine for all LPC2xxx
series over OCD.

IAR doesn't work correctly with Wiggler, this have nothing to do with 
our boards

how did you solved this? can you check if LPC2106 is REV.B? this may 
be due to the famous LPC Flash latchup in the first lot we received 
from Philips, this is nothing to do with the reset schematic but with 
silicon revision bug on LPC chip

which software this is related to? we have noticed IAR C-SPY works 
well on slow computers and don't work on faster one, but this is 
problem in IAR IDE not in our boards
  
> I manage to overcame the problem using the qudravox C compiler as I

you are confusing something, Quadravox have no ARM compiler to the 
best of my knowledge

the bottom line is:
our boards works only with compilers/IDEs which work too ;)
- never experienced any problems with Rowley's IDE
- never experienced any problems with OCD when working in RAM
- from time to time working with IAR C-SPY (after number of retries 
etc). IAR are aware of this problem, but they just refuse to support 
our low cost JTAG to may sell their 300 EUR Segger's J-LINK with 
their compiler

Hi 
 
 I meant to write CROSSWORKS and insted i wrote quadravox !

That's amazing! You got an MSP430 compiler working with an ARM and
wiggler? ;-)

I have 9 or 10 Olimex LPC-P2106.  They are great boards.  They always
had some problems with the Wiggler (needed speed 5 or above), but they
worked.  Recently, I've been unable to get any of them to work with a
wiggler.  I believe they are all rev B silicon.  I have upgraded to
the latest Philips bootloader (although I don't know why this would
matter).  I am running a genuine Wiggler with OCD Commander (I've
tried several versions) on a 2.4GHz P4 (Dell Dimension 4550) running
XP.  The same setup works fine with my Olimex LPC-P2124 board.

I don't think reset is the problem because I see the same problem on
my 2106 based prototypes which have a real reset controller on-board.

any ideas?

Hmm...I have not tried the Rowley IDE and would prefer not to have to
change my toolchain at this point; we have lots of code built around
the GNU tools under cygwin and linux and they work very well (except
for this :-)  They are also free and open-source which I am very fond
of.  

I've tried all of the software configurable settings for the OCD
software with no luck.

Back when it *was* working, I was able to debug LPC flash although it
was less fun than RAM debugging...you can set 1-2 hardware breakpoints
and they do work with OCD/GDB...I can tell you how if you are interested.

Regards,
Dave

BTW, I love your development boards!

Can you share the details of your configuration?
What rev LPC2106, what OS, SW Revisions, bootloader, CPU speed, etc.?

Strange, I'd have said it was a problem with the Wiggler hardware, 
but that is unlikely if it works with the '2124 board. I don't have 
any problems at all with the earlier '2106 chips on my own boards 
with both a genuine Wiggler and my own interface. The latter actually 
works better than the real thing, probably because I took some care 
with the PCB design; I don't think much of the Wiggler PCB layout.

For ARM, our IDE uses GCC for compilation but does *not* use GDB for
debugging.  It has integrated flashing, debug from flash, and so on.
Hence you would not need to switch toolchain at all.

We wrote our own Wiggler driver and do not use the driver from
Macraigor--although we are supporting their API so you'll be able to use
the Raven and mpDemon in a future version.  Most users find our driver
faster and more reliable.

LPC2106s are rev. B

WinXP, SP2

CPU - 1.2 GHz Athlon

LPC2106 clock - 10 MHz


I use the Rowley debugger, but the Wiggler OCD software works OK.
