Hello,
I'm to use the Tinyarm DIP50 that has the lpc2129 and in the user
manual says that it is tolerant to 5V in ports I/O, but in many of the
emails the group I see pullup to 3.3V.
if I want to put an input high I can make a direct pullup to 5V??

Hi All I would like to make a LAN connection to an LPC2106 design. It seems best to use the SPI interface but I don't know much about SPI Ethernet controller support. After checking around I found the Microchip MCP22S80, a 10M device with SPI connection. But, apart from a simple overview data sheet no more information. Question: Has anyone a good suggestion for a device (I would really like 10/100 if possible but 10M will do for starters). Has any one used the MCP22S80 and would they recommend it? Thanks in advance. Cheers Mark Butcher

Mark, Bit of a tangent, but I got uIP working on the Olimex LPC-E2124 board so it would be possible to get it working on the 2106 too--it's just bit bashing. The E2124 has a 10M CS8900A on it (popular, low-power, easy to drive). As for SPI & Ethernet, I don't have any direct experience. -- Paul Curtis, Rowley Associates Ltd http://www.rowley.co.uk CrossWorks for MSP430, ARM, and (soon) Atmel AVR processors

SPI is still free and is probably faster that bit banging. Cheers Mark

Mark, I have not used this chip. I STRONGLY recommend to get the errata sheet and request the unpublished errata from Microchip for this chip. I had a very bad experience with microchip's CAN controller having problems and trying to get Microchip to admit the problems. Joe

Hi Mark, I do not know of any ethernet controller that supports SPI interface. An alternative would be to use the Xport from lantronix. It gives you ethernet connectivity through a serial port. You can use the maxim MAX3100 or MAX3111 to interface the SPI to UART.

I think the total cost of the solution would be around $10. Check out these links: http://www.thearmpatch.com/lpc-sbc2.html http://www.phytec.com/sbc/32bit/pclpc229x.htm

It can be used as an 8 bit peripheral or through an I2C channel. It can do 10/100. Regards Anton Erasmus-- A J Erasmus

Speaking of Wi-Fi, an SDIO Wi-Fi card could be a low cost solution (SDIO is SPI in simple terms). Sandisk and Socket makes such a SDIO Wi-Fi cards.

Hi folks, My first question is me being a little lazy really! Regarding startup code: I'm writing some code for the LPC2294: does anyone know if it's possible to use the startup code such as LPC210X_Startup.s and crt0.s that comes with Crossworks with the 2294? Regarding modes: I'm writing some straight forward run-til-complete non operating system code, should I just put the processor into supervisor mode and leave it there? If not, what is the best mode to put it in? Many thanks, Rob.

Leave it in system mode. There is no need to switch to supervisor mode.

The startup for these is pretty similar. You should be able to use the same startup for most basic tasks. > > Regarding modes: > > I'm writing some straight forward run-til-complete non operating system code, > should I just put the processor into supervisor mode and leave it there? If > not, what is the best mode to put it in? It is best to use system mode for these sorts of task. You can then use supervisor mode for software interrupts (SWI) if you ever need this.

Hi folks, I'm trying to connect my (very first) LPC2294 target to my board using Cross Studio and an Olimex 20 pin parallel port JTAG interface. Crossworks only lists Macraigor 14 and 20 pin targets and this gives an error message saying it [Crossworks] can't identify the target. Should this driver work with the Olimex interface? I do have both voltages on the processor and AFAIK I have all the JTAG connectors correct. If it's of any relevance at all, I'm running under Linux. Also, I have the Olimex interface on the end of a screened parallel lead (how short is that ribbon cable? ;-) Many thanks, Rob

Check your JTAG connections against my Wiggler '210x interface: http://www.geocities.com/leon_heller/lpc2104.html and make sure that you have the equivalent pins on your target board connected appropriately. You might need to reduce the connection speed for the JTAG interface (Wiggler Properties). Also, ensure that you are using the correct port on the PC. Leon

No, I've used my own interface as well as a genuine Macraigor Wiggler. I couldn't find DBGSEL either, perhaps the '2119 doesn't have one. Leon

You have to write a function that read/write data to an i/o port emulating a data bus. Of course you will not have maximum possible performance but always better then using a serial accessible ethernet controller. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
