P89LPC922 blinking LED help

Hello,

I'm new to the 80C51 family of microcontrollers, although I have worked with PIC18F microcontrollers a long time ago. I'm trying to get started with the P89LPC922 in a 20-pin DIP package. I'm just trying to get a "Hello World" type project up and running. The system should blink and LED on and off at a rate detectable to a human. I wired up the hardware, wrote the firmware and programmed the device, but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I have 3.6V on pins 4 (active low reset) and 15 (VDD), and I have ground on pin 5 (VSS). I'm using pin 2 (P1.7) to blink the light. All other pins are not connected. If I disconnect from the microcontroller and apply 3.6V directly to the LED, it lights with less than 10mA of current used.

Below is the C code I used for the firmware. The header file just gives the locations of the SFRs. I'll post it if anyone wants to see it. I compiled the source down to an intel hex file with SDCC.
Rich (BB code):
#include <P89LPC922.h>

void main()
{
    long i;

    // Configure Port 1 bit 7 in push-pull output mode
    P1M1 = 1;
    P1M2 = 0;

    P1_7 = 1;   // Turn on LED
    while(1) // Main loop
    {
        for(i=1;i<100000;i++);  // Delay so human can see
        P1_7 = !P1_7;  // Toggle LED
    }
}
I programmed the microcontroller with a Galep-5 universal programmer. The programmer reports that programming is successful. The configuration byte is 0x63, which disables the watchdog timer and selects the internal RC oscillator, among other things.

When power is applied, the LED remains off. I have 3.6V on pins 4 and 15 and 0V on pin 5. The other pins including pin 2 seem to stay around 0.3V, but they wander, sometimes a high as a volt. I'm not sure what do try next.

Hello,

I found a solution at http://forum.best-microcontroller-projects.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2060&p=2773#p2773

In case that website ever becomes unavailable, I'll re-post the answer here.

Hi, Kev. Thanks for your reply. You got it! I made a couple of mistakes. As you pointed out, I have P1M1 and P1M2 backwards. Also, in my C code the lines
Rich (BB code):
   P1M1 = 1;
   P1M2 = 0;
set all the P1M2 bits to 0, but only sets bit 0 of P1M1 to 1, not what I intended. I found a nice website, http://www.codearchitect.org, that generates C code for the P89LPC922, among other microcontrollers, that would have prevented this mistake. I changed the code above to
Rich (BB code):
  P1M1 &= 0x7F;
  P1M2 |= 0x80;
, which the codearchitect website suggested.

For anyone else that may be having trouble getting started with this microcontroller, here are a few other things I found. The default behavior of this chip is to start executing code at the boot ROM vector rather than 0x0000. It turns out that my programmer was changing that configuration so that it would start executing at 0x0000, but someone with a different programming method might have this problem. I also tried putting 15uF capacitors between my power and ground rails. It didn't make a difference with my power supply and circuit, but I've seen this technique solve strange circuit problems in the past. I'm also posting the header file, P89LPC922.h, below, so that anyone looking for help and running across this thread will have a complete solution to getting up and running with the P89LPC922:
