p89lpc931 isp programming issue

See Jay · May 29, 2014, 12:17:37 AM

I am using p89lpc931 in our board. I have the ISP circuit on our board exactly as it is on keil MCB 900 board. I am using flashmagic tool 6.80 version. I get auto-baud error all the time, and I have tried all sorts of options, and controller refuses to go into programming mode.

Btw, I am using USB-SERIAL convertor for connecting my PC and board. I have also connected and tried on another PC with COM port and I have the same issue. I tried to change the baudrate to lower and higher values. But the nothing seems to work.

I am attaching the image that shows the behavior of RST pin after hitting program button on FM.

I don't see a 3 pulses for some reason on RST pin. After couple of seconds, flashmagic gives the autobaud error and RST pin comes back 'Hi' level, as you can see in the image. Can someone through some light on this.

FYI: I am using the same flashmagic with USB-SERIAL convertor for LPC2362 controller and It works great for ISP programming.

On my scope the pulses are not visible until I crank up the timebase.

You will need to put your scope on the RS232 transmit line from the PC where it enters the board to check for the three pulses there. If you see them then the logic that connects transmit to RST on your board is wrong.

Finally we got it to work!
We had a trivial issue in driving LEDs on Rxd/Txd pins. It was overloading those pins.

Thanks for your help!

I have now a reprogramming issue. I have changed following parameters in Flashmagic Device configuration and programmed blinky.hex file.

1. Clock changes: high frequency crystal or resonator (4MHz .. 20MHz) - To enable 12 MHz on board crystal
2. Enabled Reset Pin
3. Enabled Brownout Detection

Erase all flash was selected with Protect ISP Code checked.

We are unable to reprogram the device after this flashing. I am attaching FM debug file with this email for a Read Device Signature option.

Could you help us out on this issue.

Thanks, Jay

Your debug file shows Flash Magic sending the three reset pulses then a 'U'. Nothing is received back. So it seems that the device is not being placed in ISP mode.

I would double-check all the signals again with a scope to make sure nothing has changed there. If it all looks fine then it must be the new configuration somehow that is stopping ISP mode from being entered. Re-reading the user manual/datasheet might yield a clue.

From LindsiWaign:

Hi,

I am using BlueBoard LPC21xx and trying to program it using USB-Serial bridge, which is there on NGX ARM USB JTAG.
I have installed FTDI drivers and serial communication is working fine Docklight Win7.
But if i try to burn the flash using FlashMagic its not working...
If i follow the switch press procedure mentioned in User Manual...
When i press resetsw3 ISP switchsw2...flash magic hangs...saying connected at 9600 and just hangs...

Some people say FlashMagic doesnt work with FT2232 based converters...

Please Help it really urgent
