Detecting the LPC900 is in ISP Mode

[Je Gold]

Hi  Andy,

Once a LPC900 has just entered the bootloader ISP mode...

a)  What's the best  Flashmagic command to confirm the LPC900 is in ISP mode?

b) Can I use the flashmagic terminal program to watch for serial  key stroke echos from the UART of the LPC900 to prove it's in ISP mode?

Thanks in Advance.

The best is a simple command that doesn't change the device, namely Read Signature.

You can use the terminal interface to talk to the bootloader, however it cannot be in use while performing ISP operations using the rest of Flash Magic. So you would have to enter the ISP commands yourself. I.e. it's not a COM port sniffer. For that look at something like PortMon.

You have to make sure you are talking to the device at the same baudrate as the autobaud happened.

... or simply insert a serial-sniffing "tee" and listen to a separate port(s).
