LPC845 serial number

p_barrega — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 07:28:34 GMT

Good morning,

I'm working with an LPC845 series and I discovered that, on the same microcontroller, if I read serial number with ISP interface I get a value but if I read the same by SWD interface I obtain an other value, only the signature is equal in both cases. Serial number is stored on a database and I read this value to generate a key for firmware update.

Why this behaviour?

Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Pasquale Barrega.

Hi Pascual,

Sorry for the delay,

I am assuming that you are trying to reading the UID (which is 128 bit wide).

I would take as valid the UID returned by the ISP/IAP commands. However, I am not fully aware of your procedure for reading the numbers using SWD.

It may be possible that the SWD is pointing different to a different memory location.

Could you provide a screenshot or the serial numbers you are reading ?

Regards,

Diego.

Hi Diego,

attached to this e-mail you can view two screenshots that show the Unique ID number read by ISP command and by SWD tool, precisely LPC-Link2.

To read this value I used the software Flash magic with it’s gui.

Best Regards.

Hi Pascual,

Thank you for your reply,

I suggest you to check the iap_basic example on the SDK . It will help us to determine which number is valid.

Please, let me know your results.

Best regards,

Diego.
