I never had an a reason to parse an Intel hex file until now.
   
The Flash Magic status bar showed an address of 0x740 when the error message popped-up.  I did look at the code around that block of addresses, but didn't notice anything wrong.

My "Project Workspace" window in my Keil µVision was closed, so I didn't relize the start file was part of the assembly process.  I must have forgot to remove it when creating the project (I don't use it for assembly language programs) which explains why I didn't have problems programming other projects.  I'm surprised that the list file didn't show anything at address 0xFFF0-0xFFFF.

Anyway, after removing the start file, I was able to program the chip.

Thanks for your help!

I've successfully used the USP-ICP several times to program protypes projects for the P89LPC931.

I started a new project and successfully programed the part.  Then I added some code, Keil reassembled w/o errors or warnings, and tried to reprogram the flash at which time a "Device does not support operation" window popped-up.  The status bar at the bottom of the Flash Magic UI typically shows programming stopping at 0x0740, although I have seen some other addresses.

I changed the micro - same thing.  Then I successfully reprogrammed the flash with some previous, larger hex files.  The code also runs fine on a EMP900 emulator.

I commented-out the part of the code that changed since the last flash - didn't help although I'm not 100% positive I didn't miss something.

UART timing isn't an issue.

I posted at the teamfdi website an and a software engineer there suggested I post here thinking there may be a Flash Magic software issue.  I have the latest firmware in my USB-ICP (downloaded yesterday) and Flash Magic 5.61.

I need to ship my prototype, but can't program the part.



Help please!
