Hi folks,

I was using flash magic 3.50 and It works good. I installed the latest version (3.59.227) and it can communicate with my system. I am using the same settings. I try to connect via hyperterminal, sending the "U" char and the boot loader echoes it. Is this a bug in this version of flash magic?

Thanks

Roberto

I believe it´s important also check the value of C10 in card MCB900. The right value is 10 uF, please check the link

Many MCB900 boards have 100 nF, and the power supply isn´t very stable. This is very important to enter in ICP mode.

search for "no touch" I think this is a solution for you

Andy, I have read the application note an10258_2 and I have a MCB900 board modified as ICP programmer. I have seen that in many cases the chip doesn't enter in ICP mode and I want to test to fix it.
Normaly to begin the process I connect the MCB900 connector to the system and turn the power of the MCB900 on. Then I read the device signature. If the signature match with the processor, then I can program it. Else I cycle the power and read the signature again. I like to know if there are a command in the flash magic to try to enter again in the ICP mode without cycle the power.

Thanks

I'm sorry andy but I cant find the connection you give me. Please can you clarify me?

Thanks

Ok, but how flash magic cycles the power of the device in ICP? I mean, have the flash magic a command to do that? Something like "Enter in ICP mode"?

Thanks

Hi, exists some way to enter to the ICP mode in a system with a MCB900 board with the bridge without cut the power on the board? Can  "start bootloader" do it?

Thanks

Hi, I use Flash Magic with MCB900 as ISP-ICP bridge. Many times, my devices doesn't enter in icp mode, then I must to check the device signature ever. In the menu ISP is the option to read it, but i think that it must to be a botton on the tool bar to do this with a single click.

Thanks

Hi Andy, yes it is all FFH. I do not understand why this is a random failure. I use NPN and PNP array to power the target board with 3.3 V. I suggest you add a button in the tool bar to read the device signature.


Thanks

Hi folks, anybody knows how P89LPC908 enters to the ICP mode?
I have a LPC908 based board and I use the MCB900 modified to do the bridge. Sometimes when I try to program the device flash magic doesn't recognize the signature, then I must to power up again. I want to reduce this problem.


Thanks
