Disgust

I have bad news this time. we have been trying to make the JTAG work to send the hex code to the flash-memory but it is more difficult than it seems.


We are looking now for expert help. if you know some please let me know. you know how to contact me.

Our First Official Sitting

Finally we decided to meet at my house to start working on the project.
We agreed to meet up at 10:00 at my empty apartment and as usual the latest incomer was Awaad.

We sit down at the floor and started to unpack the shipping package and playing with that new tchno-stuff and I switched on my "Wireless Access Point" so to be connected to the internet.

We started to put everything together but suddenly we discovered that life is not that easy. We need to be more careful with this electrical stuff. We knew nothing about the "Center positive" and "Center negative" things and, of course, we forgot everything regarding voltage and ampere but we started to get the memories back with Google Help :)

Hooray, We did it. The red lamp has lighten up :). We configured the power-supply with +6VAC and with "Center Positive" connector.

Let's code or at least test a demo to make the day. We needed a parallel port to connect the JTAG to. Although we have 2 laptops they didn't have the printer parallel port. I was forced to bring down my PC from the top apartment. It was a tough carrying job but i was forced to do it :(.
Finally we connected the JTAG and the board to my PC and it recognized it. We started the "Kiel" Program to begin coding but the program needed something called "ULINK Debugger". We found out that it is similar to the JTAG cable but with debugging capability. DO WE NEED TO BUY IT??

It was 3 PM and we were disappointed at this point so we decided to search for a solution to download the demo code to the board flash-memory and then we left.

I have to post this picture of me serving the group with the best TEA with a BIG SMILE
Enjoy my tea,

The Arival

Finally we got our LPC2294 board. It was shipped from the USA from microcontrollershop.com here you can see the stuff we bought.

The red board is the famous LPC2294 above it you can see group of connectors, there are for the UNIVERSAL power-supply on the left of the picture. the long cable is the JTAG connector which is used to upload the binary code to the board. the 3 things on the north corner are wall connectors in many standard shapes.

We can't wait the day we get together and start working on the project.
Wish us gooooooooooooooooooooood luck
