Lpc2000

Hi,

I would really appreciate somebody's help with the
following :

A lpc2292 with 2 m29w320 Flash memory connected to
it. The signals :
lpc    Fl
cs0    -> ce
oe     -> oe
we     -> we
A2-22  -> A0-20
D0-15  -> D0-15 first device
D16-31 -> D0-15 second device

idcy, wst1 and wst2 of bcfg0 are set to the max.
mw is set for 32 bits memory. Everything else is
zero.

Now I have hooked up a logic analyzer and that shows
me that the we signal is not used to write to Flash.
But instead the bls signals are active.

It would be easy to connect bls0 to the we inputs
but I would like to understand why this happens.
Does the processor "see" an one in rble no matter
what I put in it ?  (philips support ?????)

Try setting the RBLE (bit 10) high in the BCFGx register.  I was seeing the
exact same behavior and this got it going.  From my understanding of the
description of this bit setting it low should have been correct for an 8-bit
bus???

Anyways, give it a try!

I'm using the following BCFG config with one 16 bit flash (AM29DL323G):

IDCY=0
WST1=0
RBLE=1
WST2=0
MW=1

The WE line works as expected. The LPC2292 works with a core clock of 
7.3728 MHz

I did and it generates the we signal when an access
is made to external Flash memory.
The text in the manual should be different :
RBLE set = WE signal enabled
RBLE cleared = WE signal disabled

The bls signals are active no matter the rble setting.
This might have something to do with the MW bits.

Or byte wide devices on a word or double word data bus.
I think the text is confusing.

I did :-)

Now I have to fix the actual writing to memory : the we signal
is present but nothing (apparantly) is written into the Flash.

Thank you.
