Mass production programming on LPC5411x

[OldRadioHam]

Hi All,

In 3 months I will have thousands of boards with LPC5411 processors to program. Production programming is a very different game from debugging on 1 or 2 boards!

I found 3 ways to program these devices (as an NXP novice but experienced on PIC/MSP430/Atmel ATmega). Can anyone suggest a preference? Just reply 1, 2 or 3 is OK

1. CANopenIA with Flash Magic - hardware compact and cheap

2. DAPLink - (superseded CMSIS?) open source design I can just copy

3. Elprotronic programmer - rather expensive but I used it on MSP430 successfully

Just reply 1,2,3, or as you like. I am not offended by short answers!

Thanks folks.

I appreciate the insights on programming the LPC5411 processors! Based on my experience, I'd lean towards option 2, DAPLink, for its open-source flexibility. It reminds me of how I enjoy exploring new challenges, much like when I play geoguessr unlimited , where every location is a new puzzle to solve. Looking forward to hearing more thoughts from everyone!

HI OldRadioHam 

LPC5411x Contains the boot loader with In-System Programming (ISP) facility. In factory, we can program Flash in ISP mode with FlashMagic only.

Hope this helps.

Yes helpful thanks,

I will look into using ISP mode and FlashMagic first. Their tool is reasonably priced:
