Philips Flash Utility and Olimex E2294

Development Boards MicroMod
1

Hi,

I’m trying to reflash the E2294 board using the Philips Flash Utility (v2.2.3).

To try it out, I have downloaded lpc-e22xx_test from the Olimex web site.

The flash utility is able to see the board - it correctly reads the Device ID. However, when I try to Upload to flash, I get:

  • Flash utility reports it is erasing flash

  • Then a “Hardware Problem” message box pops up, saying “Cannot Cummunicate with Test Board”

  • The flash utility reports “Erase of flash failed”

Any clues as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

you may use long cable/high speed

try different lower communication speeds

OK, I have now changed the USB cable to be proper USB2 approved. The cable is a standard length (about 1.5m).

I have also tried changing the driver properties for a variety of speeds (38400 down to 4800). I have also changed the buffer sizes. No difference.

I have tried the “Flash Buffer Operations” from the flash utility menu, and that seems to work OK. It seems to succesfully read the flash contents. I have also tried “Comapre Flash”, and that (exepctedly) gives a “File Compare failed” error.

However, it still will not reprogram the flash.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
