FlashMagic 12.75 doesn't erase/program LPC2129

[Werner]

Hallo,

i found that FlashMagic 12.75 cannot erase/program an LPC2129 anymore. Reading device signature works well.

I took a terminal program in order to watch for differences between FlashMagic 11.20 (erase/program works well) and FlashMagic 12.75 and found that FlashMagic 12.75 sends an oscillator frequency of 0. With that the erase command stalls inside the LPC2129.

FlashMagic 11.20 has a field for an adjustble oscillator frequency which is filled with 12.000 MHz by default. The LPC2129 has no internal RC-oscillator but always runs on the external crystal. So the LPC2129 needs this number for the erase/program timing.
I tried to set the oscillator frequency to 0 in FlashMagic 11.20. Then the LPC2129 stalls again. Setting a frequency of 100 MHz makes erasing very slow.

Ok, I found the oscilator frequency field has moved to View->Preferences->Hardware.
Unfortunately the import of an old .fms file doesn't fill this field.

OK, that is something we can address for the next release - thanks for letting us know. Andy
