Try to use make and makefile. I have some examples for LPC2129 on my
web-page http://www.siwawi.arubi.uni-kl.de/avr_projects/arm_projects/
which include makefiles (an linker-scripts and startup-code). If you
type make all on the "command prompt" hex-files will be created. But you
need some tools like make.exe installed on your system. WinAVR and
WinARM include the needed tools. Yagarto offers a setup-package for
theses tools too IRC. Alternatively you may install mingw/msys or
Cygwin.

hi Martin Thomas!thanks alot for ur reply..
i am actually create a .hex file before this with commands:
arm-elf-gcc -c 1led.c
arm-elf-ld -v -o 1led.o
arm-elf-objcopy -O ihex 1led.o 1led.hex

then a .hex file was created and i flash the 1led.hex into my board by
using lpc2000 flash utility.bt no respond from the board.i am actually
trying to figure out what is the problem here.is it any problem with the
command i used to compile and create the .hex file?of is it the problem
lies in my source code?can u give me some advise on this?

i am actually using a arm7 educational board,hence i attach the pic of
the board here to show u the connection of the board.

i connect pin38(P0.12) to led1(on peripheral board) and a supply of
3.3v.

The basic steps are correct but not enough. Even if you do not want to
use my examples you may just download one of them and run a make all.
The output from make will show you the needed steps and parameters.

There are several things missing for example the startup-code, the
definition of the memory-layout (usualy defined in a linker-script) and
some parameters for the tools.

thanks for the reply again Martin..
i have download one of your example named lpc2129_blinkswitch_irq and
try to make all in command prompt.but the command prompt respond as
'make' is not recognized as an internal and external command,operable
program or batch file.
for your information,i have install MinGW as u ask me to install at ur
1st reply.
the version i installed is MinGW-5.13.exe.why i still cant use the
command make all?
