The Great Bricking and The User Manual
Last night, I made some revisions to the code in the custom block but it appears to have overwritten the bootloader, as the MP3 player won’t load the original firmware anymore. This means I need to get some headers and my JTAG programmer out of storage to reload code… which is easier said than done. The project is therefore stalled at this time.
However, courtesy of Leon Heller on the chiphacker site, I know that there is a user manual for the LPC214x separate from the data sheet. That clarifies a lot of things!
Tales of my experiences hacking the SparkFun MP3 development board (http://is.gd/5LwHh).This is useful as a project to learn how to deal with ARM hardware interfacing, SD cards, LCDs, and getting a bunch of parts talking to each other.
