Please help with Olimex LPC-2378-STK

Development Boards MicroMod
1

Hello everybody,

I purchased a LPC-2378STK together with a Olimex ARM-JTAG wiggler.

I finally found a computer that still has a parallel port I can set to EPP. I also downloaded a trial version of Rowley crossworks, because I read it is the only easy to use and reliable software that supports the wiggler type jtag cables.

I also downloaded the demo software that came with the board. I compiled it with IAR workbench and got an Intel hex file.

When I try to download this to my board, I always get verify errors. Some questions I would like to know:

  1. Can I compile the demo software with IAR workbench and download it with Rowley Crossworks ? Is there anything wrong with this approach ?

  2. Can somebody please send me a precompiled binary for the 2378-STK board that I can download to the board ? (It should do something visible, like showing a picture on the LCD)

  3. Is there a J-TAG cable that works reliably and can be used by Rowley, IAR and the GNU toolchain ? (I don’t want to read several weeks, just to get something downloaded) (Please below 100$)

Thanks in advance

The Rowley CrossConnect I’ve got works fine with the Rowley software, as you’d expect. My DIY JTAG interface (similar to the Wiggler) works OK, as well.

Hm … it seems that I am now able to flash my hex file with H-JTAG and H-Flasher.

I compiled the LCD Demo from the samples that come together with the STK board. I downloaded it with H-Flasher. No errors during download. Seems to work fine.

The only thing that is strange is, that the board does show nothing on the LCD. There must be something I am missing. Are there any additional things I need to flash on the board or anything else I need to do before the board starts the LCD Demo after I flashed it ?

Any hints ?

PS.: Mybe something is wrong with my hex file. Please help me with a working hex file that I can download to the board.

Does the Rowley Cross Connect also work with IAR ?

No, it only works with the Rowley IDE.
