olimex lpc2103

Development Boards MicroMod

hello world,

I am a trainee in an electronic compagny and I have to work my project with a Olimex board LPC2103, and I have some difficulties with.

I leant that LPC2103 is a new component, that’s for it is not in some compiler like ICCV7 of ImageCraft.

I found a tutorial on the net which explains how to use Eclipse to compile and download a program in LPC210x, but I must use “LPC2000 Flash Utility” of Philips to download file .hex in the component. And it impossible to find LPC2103 in the device list.

Are there someone who have already worked with LPC2103?

Do you know if there is a new update for “LPC2000 Flash Utility” where we can find LPC2103 device?

Can you help me to find a way to program my device?

thanks :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

The latest Rowley CrossWorks tools support the LPC2103.

I think the open source lpc21isp program works with the lpc2103, and I’m pretty sure the latest Philips Flash Utility also does.

The CrossWorks eval expires after 30 days, but the free version of IAR Embedded Workbench (kickstart edition) doesn’t expire and it supports up to 32K of code, which is plenty. I think the 2103 only has 32K of flash if I remember correctly?

You can also look for the Eclipse tutorial by James Lynch if you want to try the GNU tools yourself. Rowley wraps the GNU tools with a nice IDE, and that’s better than Eclipse, but some people prefer open source.

Hi All,

I too have the same problem with the LPC2103, I’ve purchased a nice board from a company “futronic” and have installed the Eclipse/GUN platform.

However the latest Philips flash does not have the IPC2103 listed (I downloaded it 2 days ago). I appears that it still allows code to be downloaded, but I have been unable to get even the simple “blinker” code to work at the moment.

Any help from anyone who has been successful would be much apprecieated.

I develop for the LPC 2103.

The latest version of the Philips Flash Utitlity I think is 2.2.3.

It auto senses all parts supported and does support the 2103. You do not need to nor can select the part form the drop down.

I use WinARM and Eclipse for my development.

The Header file for the LPC2106 is very simalar.

I poseted my header and Linker Script for the LPC2103 on the Yahoo LPC2000 files section.

I also found a problem with Jim Lynch’s Linker script which releated to linking in Library’s. I posted details on the WinARM forum.

See other posts on this forum for hints on getting Interrupts going !

Good Luck!

Hello,

I downloaded Flash Utility LPC2000 ISP v2.2.3 and tried it, but it was impossible to select a device (LPC2103 or others) in the list.

I thought it auto detecte the CPU of the board, so I connected the board and ran the software, but it was the same thing, it was impossible to select a device.

For users of Flash Utility LPC2000 ISP, can you tell me what’s wrong with the soft? Is there a way to solve the problem?

thanks

You cannot select a device you are correct this is by design. If the software can communicate then it WILL select the device for you.

If you look elsewhere on this forum you can find an modification to the Olimex board to make it work better with the philips programming untility.

It allows the use DTR/RTS check box to work correctly.

In the meantime check you serail cable/ baud rate/ serial port …

Good Luck.

hello,

I saw in the forum but I did not found how to modify my Olimex LPC2103 board in the goal to be recognized by the Philips Flash Utility.

I tried to set JRST jumper, to check the “Use DRT/RTS”, and read my device ID but it still doesn’t work. I got this message “Cannot communicate with test board”. I use 9600 baud and the my COM3 is connected.

Someone can tell me how to make the Philips Flash Utility detects my Olimex LPC2103 board?

And now I am trying the Rowley CrossWorks 1.6 but it seems that the Rowley software doesn’t support Olimex LPC2103 but LPC2106 and CPU family of LPC2000.

Can I program my olimex lpc2103 if I choice olimex lpc2106?

thanks for yours helps.
