KBOOT on LPC43xx

[MartinHo]

I need a secondary boot loader for a Project based on  LPC4333. I would like to use KBOOT.

My questions:

- Are there any plans to expand the KBOOT to the LPC devices?

- If not what do I need to write (apart from the peripheral and flash driver)?

thanks

I don't know what NXP's plans are and also I don't use the LPC4xxx family at the moment.

However the uTasker project includes a KBOOT compatible loader for all Kinetis parts that also works on Coldfires, LPC2xxx and LPC17xx parts. Since it doesn't have LPC4xxx drivers it couldn't be used on your part without some work.

I am not suggesting offering anything but giving more a general heads-up that the Kboot compatibiity integration in the uTasker project already supports several families (including around 60 Kinetis targets, which can also be build with any of 9 IDEs) in comparison with KBOOT 2's present 21 Kinetis targets and limited IDEs. Generally I would expect porting this to LPC4xxx and other families to be a simpler route since it has already proven its flexibility (in addition, the operation can also be fully simulated in its LPC2xxx and LPC17xx simulators which makes development and testing much more efficient).
