ISP Programmer for NXP Cortex-M Chips

ISP Programmer for NXP Cortex-M Chips

Command line programmer for the NXP ISP interface.

Features

Secure Write

The checksum in flash is written to zero as the first write, so if the upload fails the chip will boot back into the ISP mode. The image is then written from the top most page down to the first page. The first sector contains the valid image checksum so a failed write will keep the device in ISP mode instead of just being bricked.

Chip Families Supported:

LPC84x
LPC82x
LPC80x

UU encoded families not supported (LPC1700 family and similar)

NXP chips with 1kB sector sizes should work by adding their information to the lpctools_parts.def configuration file.

The configuration file is identical to that used by the lpctools project http://git.techno-innov.fr/?p=lpctools

Usage

Erase Entire Flash: isp_programmer --device /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 9600 -crystal_frequency 12000 masserase
Program Flash: isp_programmer --device /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 9600 -crystal_frequency 12000 writeimage --imagein blinky804.hex
Read Chip Info: isp_programmer --device /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 9600 -crystal_frequency 12000 querychip

Installation

pypi

pip install ISPProgrammer

From Source

isp-programmer is a python3 package and can be installed using pip. Clone the repository, enter the directory with setup.py in it and run pip install . The default location for the configuration file is at /etc/lpctools_parts.def. The file can either be copied there or the path passed in when calling the tool with the --config_file/-f flag.

1. cd isp-programmer
2. pip install .
3. cp lpctools_parts.def /etc

isp-programmer's Issues

LPC55xx

can program LPC55 series ?

Add memory dump

Allow the dumping of a chips ROM to a hex file

FAIM writing

This is a feature of the 84x and is on MTP flash. Caution needs to be paid while developing this as the flash could be fried.

OTP flash writing

Several NXP chips have OTP registers. Very special care needs to be paid to this.

Finish 175_6x Chip

The boot code version is very different than the M0 ones. Different sector size etc. Code will need to be refactored.
