LPC1769 from Command Line

Nabistay · February 23, 2011, 11:09:46 AM

Hello. I am attempting to program an LPC1769 using flash magic and the USB-ISP-LPC2k.

It works perfectly through the GUI, but through the command line, i receive the error:

ERROR: Invalid parameters for DEVICE directive: DEVICE(LPC1769,25.0000000)

this command was directly from the "Save Command Line Directives" right after a successful programming of the device through the GUI.

These are the commands from the GUI:

COM(3, 230400)
DEVICE(LPC1769, 25.000000)
INTERFACE(FDIUSBICPLPC2K)
HARDWARE(BOOTEXEC, 300, 300)
ERASEUSED(E:\Dropbox\Senior Thesis - Group\PCB Software\Test\test.hex, PROTECTISP)
HEXFILE(E:\Dropbox\Senior Thesis - Group\PCB Software\Test\test.hex, NOCHECKSUMS, NOFILL, PROTECTISP)

This is the error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flash Magic>FM.EXE COM(3, 230400) DEVICE(LPC1769, 25.0000

This is an omission from the Command Line version. Please try version 5.81. Thanks for letting us know.

Same problem. So, how does one try version 5.81 then? Can't see anywhere to download old versions.

Do you really think we are going to add something into version 5.81 and then take it out again in version 5.82...?

Please try the current version.

I am using the current version, of course, as that is all that I can download...

Okay, so the problem isn't exactly the same, I am actually trying to program an LPC1759 but as the release notes say that that was supported since version 5.50, I assumed you hadn't taken the support out again...

Andy Ayre · March 16, 2011, 06:29:36 AM

LPC1759 was never supported on the command line... until now. Please try version 5.83.

Excellent, sorted. Thanks for the quick fix.

I think it would be good if the program either supported all the devices in the command line mode that are supported in the GUI, or did something like greyed out the 'Save Command Line Directives' option for unsupported devices. That way you'd know whether or not the selected device was supported.
