5.2 The FlashMagic Utility
NXP has partnered with Embedded Systems Academy to provide a free tool for flash
programming called FlashMagic. It uses a serial protocol and allows programming while
the controller is in the target hardware and supports the entire LPC2000 family (except
LPC288x).
Most important features:
•
Straightforward and intuitive user interface;
•
Five simple steps to erasing and programming a device and setting any options
desired;
•
Programs Intel Hex Files;
•
Automatic verifying after programming;
•
Fills unused Flash to increase firmware security;
•
Ability to automatically program checksums. Using the supplied checksum
calculation routine the firmware can easily verify the integrity of a Flash block,
ensuring no unauthorized or corrupted code can ever be executed;
