I have downloaded versions: v2.2.0 v2.2.1 v2.2.3 of the Philips Flash utility for programming via serial. In the two first versions no support for lpc2148 is provided. In the last version (v2.2.3) this chip has been added to the program options list, but [due to a bug in the program] I can not select it from the list, then I think I need version (v2.2.2) of this program as used in the help page: http://www.keil.com/support/man/docs/mcb2140/mcb2140_fp_using_lpc2000.htm BUT I WAS UNABLE TO EVEN FIND IT ON THE PHILIPS WEB SITE. Does anyone know a link to download the specific version 2.2.2 of this program? Thanks.
Well, here's a question: What kind of serial cable do you have between the PC and the MCB2140? I tried using a USB-to-RS-232 conversion cable, and it gave me the "cannot communicate" error every time. When I finally found a plain-old RS-232 cable hooked up to my PC's only plain-old serial connector, it finally worked just fine. As far as I can remember, it worked well at 38400 baud, but I haven't tried in a while (since I got a $300 ULINK from my distributor).
Well I Also Use a RS-232 DB-9 Straight Cable with COM1 port on my PC.
