Of course there's always the peripheral side effects to worry about. However, the expected clock frequency matches the measured frequency in all cases. Robert " 'Freedom' has no meaning of itself.

Thanks everyone for your help on this. I totally missed the lookup tables that translate the bits for the P and M values. Things make much more sense now! The CrossWorks startup code contains these lines: /* Configure PLL Multiplier/Divider */ mov r1, #0x24 /* multipler = 4, divider = 1 */ I both assumed the values were chosen for a 14.7 Mhz crystal as this is the frequency found on most demo boards (for serial port reasons) and I also read the comment as M = 4 and P = 1. In reality, those are just the raw bit values MSEL and PSEL and they get translated into M = 5 and P = 2 by the magic tables. I and others still seem to be stuck with the flash loading problem, but at least the PLL is working right now! Progress! Thanks again to all. |

Firstly, are you using the latest 1.2 RC release (http://www.rowley.co.uk/arm/arm_1_2_0.zip)? This version has improved LPC2000 support. It sounds like you are having reliability problems with the Wiggler/JTAG connection. Try the following: 1. Turn on automatic load verification (Tools | Option | Target | General | Enable Load Vericiation) so you can tell if the program in memory matches the executable file. 2. Reduce the JTAG clock frequency (increase the JTAG Clock Divider target property). 3. If your still having problems, reduce the length of your parallel port cable as much as possible (I personally always plug the Wiggler directly into the back of the PC).

If you have access to the ISP UART it's possible to download and
execute a program in RAM that turns on the secondary JTAG port. The enabling of the pins appears to survive a reset so this only has to be done on power up. Some of our customers are using this with CrossWorks to program the flash and debug without losing too many IO lines.

We've added a lot more initialisation to the reset script to try to get something that resembles a reset on the LPC2000.

Thanks Michael. Was this around just recently ?
