LPCXpresso software version for LPC2129?

[ramakrishnanaru]

I have a LPC2129(ARM7) board with me, I want to use LPCXpresso IDE for the hex generation. But when I tried with the latest software version the hex is not running in my board. Do I need to use any specific older version of the software version?

No, you do not need an older version of lpcxpresso.

suggest you explain in more detail what you are doing, and what problem you have.

Hello Con Verse,

Thanks for your reply.

Actually I am able to generate the hex from LPCXpresso for a code which I generated using KEIL also.

The KEIL generated hex is running successfully in my board but the LPCXpresso generated hex is not running.

Also the two hex file is completely different.

The KEIL generated hex file is around 4kb in size but LPCXpresso generated hex is only 2kb in size.

Please let me know what changes I have to do in the tool chain for a perfect working condition.

And let me know if any other information is required.

Thanks in advance.

What is the command line you are using to convert the elf file into hex?

Hello Con Verse,

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry for the very delayed response.

The command I am using for hex genertion is,

-arm-none-eabi-size "Hex_Try.axf" ; arm-none-eabi-objcopy -v -O ihex "Hex_Try.axf" "Hex_Try.hex" ;

FYR, I am attaching my complete make file content here.
