Hello,
For several months have been using version 7.5 along with Link2 to debug/flash a LPC1768. I'm pretty confident the HW is ok. I upgraded to the latest V8 of the IDE and then I couldn't debug. Using the forums posts I found that the USB driver was old(V1.0) and I managed to upgrade to (v2.0)... Still didn't work, but another post suggested project properties->MCU settings->Refresh MCU cache and that got me debugging again with version 8.

However, now I can't flash the chip and get the error below. This now happens with version 7.5 as well. I "think" I have the flash driver(LPC175x_6x_512.cfx) correct... What am I missing?

Thanks, Andrei

Understood, thanks for the explanation.

I'm glad to hear that you got things working.

An address does not need to be specified for an AXF file (which is what is shown in the FAQ), as the address information can be lifted from within the AXF file itself.

But it is required for a plain .BIN file, as this contains no address information.

We'll look into trapping this situation with a clearer error message in a future release.

Regards,
LPCXpresso Support.

Thank you for the help. It appears that we got it working! Yes, I am using the GUI flash programming tool (see attached screen shot). Note in the screen shot that I have entered a 0x0 for the "Base address" parameter. It was previously blank and it now works! That said, I don't remember seeing/setting that base address in version 7.5. Nor does the above link to the Gui programming tool show that parameter set explicitly... I assumed it was set behind the scenes from the MCU settings.

Please confirm exactly how you are trying to program the flash? From the log you provided, its appears that you are using the GUI flash programming tool?

https://www.lpcware.com/content/faq/lpcxpresso/gui-flash-programming-tool

Please post a screenshot of the setup you are using, and the actually command that is being executed.

From the log it also appears that you are programming a binary file, and the error suggests that the address you are trying to program to is not in the flash bank.

Regards,
LPCXpresso Support

As a next step, refresh the MCU Cache, then delete and recreate your lauch configuration(s). Let me know how you get on.

Thanks and regards,

Checked the MCU settings and they are still there. Please see attached screen shot.

Check your File- > Properties -> C/C++ Build -> MCU settings to ensure you didn't delete the flash configuration entry in your memory configuration.

Thanks and regards,
