just to reduce the typing.... still need to press the hidden ''reset'' button to start the flashing and to start the new firmware.

You can have separate scripts for ease of loading different firmware

''./lf_flash.sh'' 

<code bash>

#!/bin/bash
#

FWARE=LF15C_250408.hex

lpc21isp $FWARE /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 1200

===== RTC Error =====

  * RTC is not capable of calibration/correction
  * RTC appears to continue running even when switching firmware
    * LF15C has no ability to display RTC but it the rate appears unaffected by the firmware changes
    * Requires that Swiss Micros firmware is loaded in order to check current RTC time
