Can this device be programmed without a JTAG interface?
i.e. can it be programmed using the http://www.flashmagictool.com tool?
Sorry for the basic question but a real noob on this device and arm7 in general.

Based on this description from the Flash Magic website:madeinoz:
Can this device be programmed without a JTAG interface?
Flash Magic:
Flash Magic is a PC tool for programming flash based microcontrollers from NXP using a serial protocol while in the target hardware.
The LPC-2148 certainly fits. The software is from NXP and works with their flash based microcontrollers.
I’ve never used the software because I don’t do my ARM development under Windows. You can also use the LPC2000 Flash Utility (also from NXP), which I have used and does work.

I have 2 of the LPC-H2148 header boards and I flash them using the Philips Flash Utility v2.2.3 all the time over my serial port. Keep in mind that you will need a MAX232-type level converter to program the chip this way.
Yes it will, and i have use it with very good success on mine.
in fact it works much better than the NXP version.
it uses the ARM’s serial port to upload, though slower than JTAG of course.
Thanks for that!
Looks like I can still so playing around until my jtag arrives
