Want to read a HEX file from USB pen drive using LPC 2420

Hi All

I am using ARM controller LPC 2420 in my project where I am using an external flash memory to store the firmware code.Earlier I was using serial interface to upgrade the firmware of the controller using a VB application. But now I want to upgrade the firmware of the controller directly by using USB pen drive. So can anyone please suggest how to implement this.

  • So all you're changing is the way the data gets to the micro - isn't it?

    As far as programming the flash goes, where the data came from is irrelevant.

    If you want to get the data from a file on some storage medium then, obviously, you will need a suitable file system to do that - the clue is in the name.

    For USB, you will need to provide a USB Host.

    Keil middleware has USB Host and file system components:

    plenty of 3rd-party alternatives are available...
