Hi,

I am using LPCXpresso 8.0.0 and LPCXpresso54102 board on Windows 7. Everything works fine. I try to find a command line tool to flash the device over the USB port and saw this program under the bin, dfu-util. After installing the jumper JP5, it find the device ok. However, when I tried to download the image, I got the following output result as error. I tried both hex and bin file format. I appreciate any help.

c:>dfu-util -D AlgSim.bin
dfu-util 0.7

Hi,

The flashing program works well in Ubuntu. Is it possible to install this program only without the entire LPCXpresso package? Thanks.

Hi Joseph,

Have you managed to find some other way to upload the binary without using LPCXpress?

Thanks.

Have you tried lpcscrypt? - which can be downloaded from this website.

[thiagosiqueira]

Yes, I have.

I am executing the following?

$ ./dfu-util -d 0x1fc9:0x000c -c 0 -i 0 -t 2048 -R  -D LPCScrypt_140.bin.hdr

It's enable the serial port, when I do this command:

$ ./lpcscrypt queryflash

The result is it:
Number of Flash Devices = 2
Name = BankA
Base = 0x1a000000
Size = 0x80000
Page = 0x1000
Sector = 8-64KB
Blank = 0xff
Buffer = 0x8000
Name = EEPROM
Base = 0x20040000
Size = 0x3f80
Page = 0x80
Sector = NA
Blank = 0x0
Buffer = 0x8000

To program the board I am using an image os lpcscrypt:

$ ./lpcscrypt program ../images/MCB1800_blinky_BankA.bin BankA

The result is the following:
Programmed 5448 bytes to 0x1a000000 in 0.020s (268.608KB/sec)

But nothing happens, I reboot the board but other binary runs.

Any idea?

Hi

Thank you for the information, it is very helpful. Is there an equivalent command line tool I can use on Ubuntu?

The same flash programming tools mentioned in the above post are also available with a Ubuntu installation.

Thanks and regards,

So why not just use the flash programming tools built into LPCXpresso IDE to program via flash using your boards built in LPC-Link2 debug probe:

  [*]https://www.lpcware.com/content/faq/lpcxpresso/command-line-flash-programming
[/list]

These are the same underlying tools used by the IDE when you start a debug session.

dfu-util loads a processed image into the RAM of the device. It does not program the flash. Look for another utility.
