one first step (on a 1000 miles journey)

Dear people,

Below my first attempt to program a 1343. Guess what, it does not work. I can compile it, load the image (72 bytes) into the chip.
After restart, I can no longer enter the uart isp  bootloader so I think the chip accepts the checksum in 0x1C  and is in program mode.
But, nothing happens, pin 18 should go low, remains high, probably in a input pull-up state.
What do I do wrong?
And, has anyone an example like this for me? Perhaps a hexdump of a working image, or still better the output of a arm-none-eabi-objdump.
Just something that toggles a pin, any pin. Once, or in a sequence, I don''t care.
Looking forward..........
Harrie

One thing, that is different from other LPCs is the LPC13xx build-in 'USB drive' FLASH download capability, isn't it??

Nope, LPC15xx has USB-ISP, too (and UART and CAN)  :O

Yes, but that is true for LPC800, LPC1100, LPC... too  :p

Who is using that? I guess it feels pretty much like using an 'mbed' board, doesn't it? I used an LPC17
mbed board for some time (before I made my own boards, that use UART ISP). Pretty cool, when your favourite OS can
FLASH your uC with a cp command, only 8-)

Dear Marc,

Thank you so much for your remarks, tips, especially the two programs are very welcomed.
I did not use a linker script, I used arm-none-eabi-as , -ld, -objcopy series to compile to a binary image. Maybe not the fastes way, but for me they are the steady stepping rocks across the river.

I am so sorry for you: A LPC13xx is a joy forever.

I supposed so allready, but in all examples I found these vectors were filled and so I copied them.

Again, thank you for your support,
greatings Harrie.

Hi Harrie,

my deep respect for you starting at the basics!
Pity, I don't have a LPC13xx.

For such a simple program, you don't need need a stack or the other exception handlers. Just zero these.
Also, I'd suggest you to use .thumb_func to let as know, what type (ARM or THUMB) the labels are. That's easier than
adding +1 . My opinion.
A nice short-cut for endless loop is b .

What's does your liker script look like?

EDIT: SCNR, here's a LPC812 LED program (plus some UART output) and a simple LD-script. Cortex-M0 instruction set - works on your uC to - you may pull out some snippets from this.

Thank you IanB, str r1.[r0] was the culprit, Obviously it is : load this R WITH that stuff and store this stuff INTO that R

Somewere i found that with .syntax unified you can use mov instead movw , movt but I can not find the source of that. It works however.

I constructed this little program from a number of examples, the _main was a relic of one example.

I do not use lpcxpresso, I use the arm-none-eabi-as,  ld , objcopy  chain to assemble the given program and have written a set of python programs to upload the derived image. That way I feel I have a better insight in how things work.

Again, thank you, Harrie

STR R0,[R1]  not STR R1,[R0] stores the value of R0 into the address pointed to by R1.

and

to load the immediate value of 0x10 into R0 it is normally written MOVS R0,#0x10, though I can't think the assembler could possibly interpret what you wrote as anything other than a "load immediate" instruction.


(and doesn't lpcxpresso like to have the main routing called main: not _main: ?)
