Hi all, I am testing a MCB2100 board connected to my computer via a Keil ULink, and it works fine with Keil's uVision loader, but I need to evaluate other tools, and whenever I try to use any other tool for communicating with the board it would give always a communications error... anyone knows if the ULink is designed to work -ONLY- with keil software? ...anyone has used an ULink with any other software? Thanks a lot!

Some time ago (a year or so) I have asked Keil-Software about information/documentation on the ULINK protocol. The support-guy told me that ULINK is for uVision only and that the information on the protocol is only for internal use and will not be published. So yes, the ULINK has been designed to work only with the Keil software, which does not meas that it can not be used with other software - but I also don't know any non-Keil software which works with the ULINK. If you do not need the debugging and just want to use the ULINK as flash-programming tool you can call uVision with command-line options - see the uVision online-help and the Keil support-database.
