LPC 1766STK and ARM-JTAG-EW problem

Development Boards MicroMod
1

I’m using the LPC 1766STK and ARM-JTAG-EW for my final year school project. I’ve always had troubles downloading programs to the microcontroller. Sometimes it works (rarely) and by the next time I boot up my computer it doesn’t work anymore. I tried this on my desktop and laptop. I use IAR Embedded workbench 5.41 with the driver by olimex.

Now I’m trying to find out what’s the problem by downloading the sample programs from olimex to it but I keep getting this error:

J-Link

ERROR: Target examination failed - please check JTAG/SW connection, error code -2113 (ADIv5 Debug Port transaction error)

Abort Retry Ignore

After that I get

IarIdePm

Failed to load flash loader: D:\Program Files\IAR Systems\Embedded Workbench 5.4\arm\config\flashloader\NXP\FlashNXPLPC512K_Cortex.flash

OK

This is what I get in my debug log:

I tried a lot of things in the settings, but I only got it working once and the settings somehow didn’t save…

I hope anyone can help me.

Thanks

Have you tried reducing the JTAG speed? Some JTAG interfaces (such as the genuine Wiggler) can’t run at full speed.

3

I use the adaptive setting as speed, I tried using auto to but it didn’t work out. =/

Thanks for the help though!

I don’t use IAR, but the fact that it says J-Link up there tells me it’s looking for a Segger J-Link and not the Olimex device.

The user manual from the Olimex ARM-JTAG-EW says this:

1.2. Software Features

  • DLL mostly compatible with original jlinkarm.dll from IAR-EW

  • works with IAR Embedded Workbench 5.30 from IAR Systems

  • supports ARM7TDMI targets (e.g. SAM7, LPC2000, STR7)

  • supports Cortex M3 targets (e.g. STM32, LPC1000)

  • ability to put “external” breakpoints that trigger on a user-defined event

  • external event sources are the target MCU voltage, target supply voltage and target consumption current

I did replace the dll, but the weird thing is that it worked in the past sometimes.

Just being curious, but have you tried to set the target microcontroller (Project options) to LPC1766?

7

BTW, you can try to download programs into flash with a serial programmer (Flash Magic or some other) .

I have worked with IAR 6.10 and there is an menu option “Debug without downloading”, so first download it over the serial connection and then debug with the JTAG.

Yes, I tried it. But changing it had no effect =/

I’ll look into this, thanks.

I’ve got no idea how this happened, but it works now :S and I didn’t change anything compared to a few days ago.

Thanks for the help =)

I’ve used a USB J-Link with IAR on Windows for 2 years. No issues.

Love it.

Esp. flash breakpoints.

11

Yeah, after spending a couple of days in order to make ARM-USB-OCD work somewhat stable in combination with LPC1766 (with GCC and IAR), those commercial JTAG tools do not look so expensive now: :lol:

12

It’s more a function of the software. The CrossWorks ARM tools work fine with home-made JTAGs like Wiggler clones, as well as those from Olimex, and other suppliers, and Rowley’s own CrossConnect units, of course.

please,

can anyone send me the ARM-JTAG-EW driver for IAR v 5.4, we have bought the JTAG, but unfortunately we don’t have the convenient driver. The OLIMEX website only contains driver for IAR v6 , because i worked with an old version of IAR, fouedbti@yahoo.fr, or a link to download,

Thank you

I have the same problem. The ARM-JTAG-EW does NOT work. I installed the driver and copied the dll under Win 7 64Bit and IAR EW 6.10.

When i try do debugg the example codes i get the Error:

Could not get JTAG TAP state, error code -1134 (connection timed out)

Sometimes but only the first time (after reconnect i think) there is an error, that thays that its not able to reset the target (IO-error or something else). After that error there is the error above when i try to edbug.

What iam do wrong. Iam very pi**ed off. I paid lot of money and it does not work.

Even under Win XP 32Bit (but) IAR EW 6.2 it does not work. But there is an other Error. The dll seems to be wrong/corrupt oder somethings else. May be the driver does not work with this new EW version.

The tip from krkan (flashing with serial programmer) is no option for me. I paid for the ARM-JTAG-EW because it should be possible to flash AND debug under IAR.

Somebody can help me?

edit:

When i try to debug the first time after reconnect, there comes the error massage and than the ARM-JTAG-EW LED blinks green. Maybe that helps.

I am confused, now it works but there are Errors.

What iam exactly have done:

Downloaded ARM-JTAG-EW firmware 1.0.3.0 and (de)upgraded the Bootloader/Firmware with arm-jtag-ew-fwupd.exe

Copied the jlink.dll from firmware 1.0.6.0 into iar directory /bin

opened example project and tryied to debug. Than IAR has an old firmware and asked for autmatikc upgrade. I accepted und IAR upgraded the olimex programmer. After that IAR said there were 2 errors but i can ignore them.

Here is the debug-log:

The software runs and i can debug i think until now. Hopefully it works now. Bur can someone say what that errors mean or if i can do anything else to run that programmer perfectly?
