Did I toast my LPC2148?

Development Boards MicroMod

I tried programming a hex file into my board but am now getting flash program errors.

> halt
requesting target halt...
> Target 0 halted
target halted in Thumb state due to debug request, current mode: System
cpsr: 0xa00000df pc: 0x00001434
> flash write_image U:\Devel\ARM\LPC2148\USB\hid\examples\serial.hex
failed writing image U:\Devel\ARM\LPC2148\USB\hid\examples\serial.hex: flash program error
wrote 0 byte from file U:\Devel\ARM\LPC2148\USB\hid\examples\serial.hex in 0s 546875us (0.000000 kb/s)

I have tried several hex files with the same results.

Now I only get the red LED on, instead of red, yellow and green LEDs all on when I plug the USB cable into it.

Did I toast my header board?

What program are you using to flash the chip? Are you using a COM port or JTAG (or something else)?

I am using OpenOCD with JTAG.

You could always try loading the image using the LPC2000 flash utility over a serial port (if you have the supporting hardware on your board). I don’t really use OpenOCD, but there are a lot of people on here that do. You could also try the OpenOCD forum if you don’t get response here.

I don't have the serial port wired up to my board at present, which is why I wanted to program using JTAG. I need to get a level shifter like the one SFE sells.

Make sure that the flash sectors you are writing to are unprotected and erased.

Also run openocd at debug level 3 to get more information about how the write fails.

You can give the command

debug_level 3

just before the flash write_image command, or start openocd with a -d 3 flag.

OK, I did some more poking around and am not sure I have the flash banks setup properly for OpenOCD.

Here is some info I got:

I have the [LPC2148 Header Board. What am I doing wrong? I must go reread my LPC2148 datasheet.

Can you copy ur flash programming openocd.cfg file and script file.

I am also using LPC2148 header board and i can erase and program different application using OLIMEX ARM-USB-OCD JTAG and by using OpenOCD debugger.

This is good news. Now maybe I can figure out what is wrong, or if I have bricked my board.

Hai, i think you missed to call the flash script file

working_area 0 0x40000000 0x40000 nobackup

#-------------------Call here ur script file-----------

target_script 0 reset .\prj\openocd_flash.script

#flash configuration

#flash bank lpc2000 0 0 <target#>

Hmmmmm, I am definitely not understanding something here. I do not see any scripts like that in my OpenOCD installation folder. I will have to dig deeper into OpenOCD and see if I can find more info on this script and what I should have in it.

I just copied a configuration file for the LPC2138 to a new name and have been using that.

Here i copied my script file. You can just replace the main.bin with your one. Also you can find the sample file inthe follwoing link

http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.ph … p+Debugger

The following command wills be executed on

reset (because of run_and_init in the config-file)

- wait for target halt

- erase memory

- flash content of file main.bin into target-memory

- shutdown openocd

Does this script get executed each time the target is reset? Why do you erase flash and write test.bin before shutting OpenOCD down?

I still don’t get any green or yellow lights on my LPC2148 header board. I am starting to think I bricked it and it is worthless now.

This script file is used to burn your binary file into flash when you run your openocd flash programming batch file.

15

I am still trying to find out if I have messed up my LPC2148 Header Board or not. I can only get the red power LED on, with no green or yellow LED on. I can not program it using JTAG.

Is it worthless now?
