MCB900: UNABLE TO REPROGRAM PHILIPS 89LPC932

Information in this article applies to:

• MCB900 Evaluation Boards

QUESTION

I am trying to download a new program into the MCB900 board. However, I cannot connect to the board. What am I doing wrong? The Philips website says that this is a fully re-programmable chip.

ANSWER

Problems with reprogramming the LPC932 are caused by misconfigured software or misconfigured hardware. To get the chip to enter ISP mode, you must know the step of the device you have and how that step enters ISP mode.

Application Note 3 from ESAcademy completely outlines all device steps and the ISP requirements for each. Review this document before attempting to reprogram your device.
