TroubleShooting(Communicating with) the LPC2106 Board.

Development Boards MicroMod
1

Hi Everyone,

I am new to embedded world. I have been trying to follow Jim Lynch

Tutorial on ARM Cross Development using Eclipse.

Board: OLIMEX LPC 2106 board.

Serial Connection to the PC.

OS: Windows XP

Development: Eclipse.

This is my problem:

I cannot communicate with the OLIMEX LPC2106 board.

I do not know if the board is alive.

This is what i have tried:

  1. Connected serial cables and try to communicate with it using HyperTerminal. It does not work.

  2. I tried to flash it using the Philips Flash Utility as mentioned in the tutorial. I get the error that it is not able to communicate with the device.

How do i know if the board is alive? It is brand new.

What are the tools i can use to verify that?

Are there any other flash tools i should use?

thanks in Advance

Ramesh

The Philips Flash Utility should work if the board is OK and you have the correct options. To test it properly you need to buy (or make) a JTAG I/F. The RS-232 I/F might not be working.
