how to start programming arm

Hi everyone,
I want to start programming ARM microcontrollers and I was searching for some evaluation boards (Keil, Olimex...).

I noticed that the ARM chip is soldered on these boards and I can't use them to program other ARM for my PCB's.
(I used to work with AVR and STAK500 board that had sockets that I could program any ucontroller I wanted.)

Is there a solution to this? I want to be able to program different ARM chips and then solder them to my PCB's.

Do I need a JTAG programmer for this and if so what is the procedure that I have to follow?

Thank you very much in advance.
 

software for programming arm

Usually you program the Flash memory on this boards over the serial or USB port. Or you can program the MCU directly using JTAG logic on the board. You shouldn't need anything else besides a PC.

how to program arm7

Then I can create my own PCB, solder the parts and then program the ARM using a JTAG tool from any company. Right?
 

hjtag tms470 how to

Salam,

Most of ARMs microcontrollers had a built-in bootloader which it's used for programming built-in flash over UART using simple PC software.

Look to the datasheet of your device for more information.

Bye

how can programe arm

I am thinking to buy MCB2140 Evaluation Board from www.keil.com for ARM from Philips.
But I also want to program many of them for my projects and that's why I need your help.
The ULINK cost €300 and I am not going to pay for that if there is another way.
 

arm7 can bootloader

ARM can be programmed using a built in bootloader or in system programmer....

programing arm

LPC 214x are having inbuilt bootloader so no need to go for Ulink if you want this only to download code into internal flash but not for debug.
LPC flash utility is availavle at
**broken link removed**


for debug you can try 20 pin RDI from olimex with HJTAG debug agent which is available at www.hjtag.com

If you have any doubt pls ask

Thanks and Regards

programming arm

I recommend to start with some of the olimex's 'header' boards.
This is a boards with lodered MCU and all pins are on regular 100mill headers.
So, you can very easy move this board from project to project.
