LPC1768 programming via 10pin JTAG/SW

Introduction

This my CAN project graduating from the MBED platform on to a prototype board I recently made up. When I was putting this board together, I considered using ISP as the main programming method. But thought if this project ever got some momentum, it would be good to have JTAG ready for debugging. As I would think the next logical step would be to progress to the full Keil MDK with JTAG debugging unit. Anyway I don't have that, but I when I was first considering getting into embedded programming I also brought a LPCXpresso LPC1343 Dev Board. This device comes with the LPC1343 target and a weird JTAG/SW debugging board, anyway not to waste what I have. I have made use of the 10pin JTAG/SW port on my new proto board and the LPCXpresso device I have lying around collecting dust.

Below are some commands which I found useful.
crt_emu_cm3_nxp.exe -wire=winusb -pLPC1768 -info-target
crt_emu_cm3_nxp.exe -wire=winusb -pLPC1768 -flash-load=FishNChips_LPC1768.bin -load-base=0x0000

Thanks for the info.

This is quite useful since I too have an LPCXpresso board in the same fashion and can be used for this purpose.

Warm Regards,

does the tdo pin on the custom board plug into the tdo on the programmer? Or does the jtag cable invert the tdo, tdi?

Its straight cable so it would mean these pins are swapped at the debugging device end. Just wire it up like the above

I've attached the schematic I used on my board but I keep getting an error when I try to load the binary with lpcxpresso:

"Ed:02: Failed to connect Ee<05>. No matching emulator found - make sure power is on and not in use already"

Its powered and I checked the connections. Is there something wrong with the circuit? Do I want TRST_N instead of NRESET?

Do I not need the rtck pin?

it looks correct,

in the directory below there is a shell script that starts with boot try running that before u run the flash command.

 

C:\nxp\lpcxpresso_3.3\bin\scripts>

 

also try using the option hid, i found this worked with some versions of windows.

 

crt_emu_cm3_nxp.exe -wire=hid -pLPC1768 -flash-load=FishNChips_LPC1768.bin -load-base=0x0000

no you shouldnt  need the rtck pin
