Verification and read is fixed in version 10.82.

Binary files are not support for LPC2000. Convert it to hex using a free utility such as bin2hex.

What exactly does the LPC2388 need to do to tell the 89LPC931 to keep it alive? Send data on the UART? Some other signal?

Also you might want to try lowering the baudrate and see if that helps. I've seen some devices struggle at 115200.

This one appears to be from Flash Magic version 5.7x to 5.91, still very old. We can't support such old versions.

However I do see in your debug file that Flash Magic sends a line of data and the device fails to echo it back. Looks like the bootloader stopped responding while programming 0x40000000 -> 0x40000200.

Try removing the first 512 bytes from your hex file (you can do this manually in Notepad) or relocate all of your code to above 0x40000200 and re-test. If you can reliably program then it would seem to be a problem with programming/accessing the first 512 bytes of flash. If you can't then it might be a problem with the power supply to the device - would be helpful to know if it fails at random times or always the same block of memory.

Note that to provide further help it would need to be with the latest version of Flash Magic.

I just looked again at your debug file.

The title of this topic is LPC2388, but your debug file shows you have selected LPC1754.

Also your debug file shows you are using an old version of Flash Magic, something like 6.31, but we are now on version 10.67...

Flash Magic

What are your line feed settings in the advanced options? Did you try the other combinations?

Andy

Please try now. You may need to clear your browser cache.

Andy, thanks for replying, but where is the attach option?  Incidentally, your non-robot verification is rejecting correct answers.  I was asked about the Italian currency, answered "lira" and got the answer rejected.

Click on the reply button (don't use quick reply), then click on "Attachments and other options"

Italy hasn't use the Lira since Feb 28th 2002.

Your post has been approved, so you should be able to reply and attach the file. However first try changing the line feed settings in the advanced options. Try all four combinations.

Andy

Looks like you are still running an old version. The version number shown should be 10.67.4823. To double-check I just re-downloaded and installed it and it is correct for me.

Andy

Please try version 10.67 and let us know if you still have a problem.

Andy

Yes, FM sets the status byte to zero after successful programming. Perhaps age has affected the parts in some way and it takes two attempts to program that location to make it stick?

Probably the best thing to do for the future is to use the command line version so you always explicitly set the status byte after programming.

Andy

Please generate a debug file then post back with it attached. Instructions are here:
