#124764 - Need Help: Problem with ISP on P89C51RC2HBA
Hello All, Good Morning!. Been a long time since I posted. I am currently working on a small board for a friend. It is based on Phillips P89C51RC2HBA.
My problem is that ISP doesn’t seem to be working. I don’t have any expensive tools… just a Demo Serial monitor, WinISP and Flash Magic.
Configuration in Hardware:
EA set to High(+5v) via 4.7K,
ALE can be made High by Jumper J1.
P2.7 can be made High by Jumper J2.
PSEN can be made low by Jumper J3.
J1 and J2 are via a single 4.7K.
Not connected P2.6 !!
Tried WinISP and Flash magic with various combination of J1,J2 and J3. But cant get the boot code running.
My RS232 circuit is working fine, I assume the Crystal is doing its job just fine, and Reset circuit is perfect.
The Problem:
Via Serial Monitor I see that, after power ON the controller sends bytes 0xFC 0xE0 continuously, and stops when I hold the Reset button. There is almost no response for “U” .. by almost I mean, at one point while I was continuously transmitting “U” via HyperTerminal, I saw one hex byte 0x55 (via serial monitor) sent by controller, but never got that again. Most of my test was at 9600baud. Crystal is 11.0592MHz.
Searched the posts here, but could not uncover the solution. Can some one pls. give me some pointer? Also the doc “AN461” has few versions (dated 2000 & 2001) that have slight variations.
Thanks & Regards
Vignesh
