Hello all, I have the folowing problem. When starting debug mode in the uVision software the following error occurs: "LPC900 Emulator Bootloader is not Running!" On the Keil forum I found another person with the same issue where the result was that the "Bondout" chip needs to be replaced. This discussion can be found here: http://www.keil.com/forum/docs/thread4049.asp As mentioned in the discussion while using the internal oscillator (thus ruling out the external oscillator problem) it still cannot read the Boot Loader ID. It does however read the serial number in the configure dialog. I then replaced the Bondoutchip with a new one from philips and still the same error keeps reappearing. So my question: Are there any other possible causes for this behaviour? Or can i safely say that the EPM900 board has died on me? Any help would be appreaciated. Thanks in advance, Richard The Netherlands
If you have replaced the bondout chip and used internal oscillator as a clock source from the configuration dialog, then there must be something wrong with the EPM900 board. Check the IC socket for damages or bad contacts and clean the contacts with alcohol. If this does not help, your board is damaged and need to be repaired. It is possible that the USB controller port pins are damaged and can not establish a connection with the bondout chip. Franc
Hello again, Well I tied cleaning and checked the connections, they all seem fine. Also checked the USB connections and they seem fine as well. So I am assuming my board is damaged and I will contact our supplier. Thanks for the info, Richard
