2. PAB90x-1 Programming Board Setup
Introduction
The LPC90x devices are programmed using a programming method called "ICP"
(In-Circuit Programming). In contrast to some of the larger LPC900 family
members, the LPC90x devices do not offer other programming methods like
Parallel Programming, In-System Programming (ISP) or complete In-Application
Programming (IAP). Details on the ICP specification can be found on the included
CD (folder "ICP Programming Specification")
FlashMagic is the preferred software used to perform ISP on the Philips Flash
Microcontrollers that support this programming method. To provide the same
programming Interface but still do the ICP programming method that the LPC90x
devices require, Philips Semiconductors developed ISP-to-ICP bridge software
that can translate between ISP and ICP. In other words, if this ISP-to-ICP bridge
code is downloaded to a microcontroller (e.g. LPC932), FlashMagic can be used to
program the LPC90x devices (see figure below).
