Hi Guys

I purchased an LPCXpresso1549 Board and am trying to build and debug some sample application on this but am confused where to start. Can anyone help me in this.

On the Board i have two MCU's :- 1. LPC1549JBD64 & 2. LPC4322JET100
Here from above two MCU i am not sure how to program which MCU and what are the necessary arrangement. I followed many online documentation which is bit confusing. Can anybody come forward and show some light.

Below mentioned steps i followed so far:

1 . Installed LPCXpresso IDE(v7.2.0_153) and i find there is no sample available for LPC1549 this is the 1st hurdle.

2 .Then after a quite search i found and install CrossStudio ARM3.1. This is also quite confusing. And stopped using it.

3 .Then after quite search i find LPCOpen but here i didnt find a clear documentation specific to LPC1549.

Now am really confused where to start.

Anyone who is using this board plz give your input here.

Regards!

I'm sorry that you have had problems finding examples for your LPCXpresso1549 board.

Please can I suggest that you read the LPCXpresso User Guide, which - in Chapter 4: Importing and Debugging example projects - gives details of where to download the LPCOpen examples for our MCUs.

You could also try using the Import Projects option on the Quickstart Panel, which gives a direct link to this website to download the LPCOpen packages.

And if you follow the link on your LPCXpresso board packaging for details of the board itself, that page again gives links to the examples:
http://www.lpcware.com/LPCXpressoV2Boards

I would suggest that before you go any further, you start off by watching the introductory "Rapid Embedded Development with LPCXpresso" video available on the LPCXpresso home page:

Thanks for your immediate Response. I am doing now exactly according to your suggestion.

Here some doubt i have in my mind.

1.Why there is two MCU's present on the board ?

2.Is it necessary to program both of them, if no then which one we have to use. ?

3.Two micro USB ports present on the board such as "Target" & "Link2" which one we have to use. ?

Kindly Answer these above questions, i will let u know my progress.

Thanks for everything so far.

Hi

I got success in flashing the binary using Link-2 port. But still my doubt/issues not cleared. Below are they.

1. when we will use "Target" usb port present on the board ?

2. My COM port is still inactive, am not able to use it for UART application. Which INF file will be suitable. So far i checked all available INF in the Package but non of them worked. Plz look at the below attached pics.

3. Earlier i used CMSISv2 library but now with LPCOpen i dont have to use CMSISv2 library. And i assume this is valid for all LPC mcu's even those are on Third Party Boards. ?

4. Is that necessary to Integrate LPCOpen library with freeRTOS ? Even for the FreeRTOS application what i created. ?

Plz throw some light here.

Regards!

1. When you program your target...
2. Drivers are here:
http://www.lpcware.com/content/nxpfile/lpcopen-software-platform-usbd-library-drivers-windows
3. LPCOpen is a superset of CMSIS.
4. You can use LPCOpen with or without freeRTOS.

Hi SPrakash,
I have just re-tested driver mentioned in above post at below link with LPC1549 Xpresso V2 RevB board successfully.

http://www.lpcware.com/content/nxpfile/lpcopen-software-platform-usbd-library-drivers-windows.

Please find below answers of your remaining questions.

Quote:
1.Why there is two MCU's present on the board ?

Another MCU LPC4322 is part of debugger and used to debug LPC1549.

Quote:
2.Is it necessary to program both of them, if no then which one we have to use. ?

See Debugging section at http://www.lpcware.com/LPCXpressoV2Boards. Here you are programming/debugging LPC1549.

Quote:
3.Two micro USB ports present on the board such as "Target" & "Link2" which one we have to use. ?

in your project connect Link2 USB to debug/program the LPC1549 and target USB for VCOM

Thanks a lot for your answer.

I have already tested same(your above given) driver and those attached snaps in my previous post belongs to the same driver installation on Win-7(32bit).

Even again i installed and checked after listening to ur suggestion and this time tried on fresh Win7-32 machine. And this time i started with lpc-composite89-dfu.inf, one Bad yellow signaled USB port appeared like yellow signaled COM port shown in the image.

When tried to install other INF present there then same as before as there in the image.

I need a healthy COM port for my UART communication.

Plz give some solution to this.

Regards!

Download the drivers from here:
http://www.lpcware.com/content/nxpfile/lpcopen-software-platform-usbd-library-drivers-windows

Unzip them into a directory.

Plug in your device - it should prompt you to install a driver. Select the option that allows you to browse for a driver and select the directory you unzipped the drivers. There is no need to select a driver file, you can just select the directory and Windows will find the correct driver.

:quest:

We made several custom boards since March with LPC15xx...

And no USB problems... (using the correct LPC15xx driver).

If you expect a 'solution' it could be a good idea to explain your problem in detail...

Hi

As you said, i am doing exactly same.

1. Connected the board.

Result : Automatically one driver is installed named

"LPC based USB device"
WinUsb.sys
USB\VID_1FC9&PID_000C&REV_0100
USB\VID_1FC9&PID_000C

Above all details i can see from my device manager.

2. Now Downloaded the given driver mentioned by u and all above guys and find its same. Well took the whole pack and unzipped it and started installing manually from device manager and installed.

Now as i said earlier one USB port appeared "LPC based USB device" with yellow mark which signifies driver will not going to work properly and so no COM port.
And yes if am trying to install the driver again COM3 port appeared but same yellow colored warning mark signified device will not work properly and even warning also showing at the time of installation that device may not work properly.

And one more thing even if am selecting particular inf the installation is not taking the inf rather it is taking only the directory path.

Now You tell me what went wrong with my installation ??

Regards!

So what did you connect then?

"LPC based USB device" is your LPC-link USB :exmark:

Tu use target USB with VCOM driver you have to use target USB connector...

See:
http://www.lpcware.com/LPCXpressoV2Boards

There are two USB connectors, labelled "Link" and "Target":
[list]
[*]"Link" is the debugger connection, and is connected to the on-board debugger - and LPC4322. With properly installed drivers, this will enumerate a "LPC Based USB Device". When the debugger starts, it will download debug firmware, causing it to re-enumerate as a HID device
[*]"Target" is connected to the USB port of the LPC1549. If there is no USB stack running in the LPC1549, nothing will appear. If there is a USB stack running, then you may need to install the correct driver - TheFallGuys instructions are correct
[/list]

To answer your points
1. This is completely correct and indicates it is waiting for a debugger connection (to download the debug firmware)

If you have the 'yellow triangle' appearing, this implies that the driver has not installed correctly. You should be able to right-click and Uninstall the driver (make sure you set the option for removing the driver software). Next time you connect the device, you will be prompted to install a driver. Point it at the LPCXpresso "Drivers" directory.

2. You should not try to manually install each driver - Windows will install the correct driver, when you insert the device. If the driver is not found, then you can point it at the directory containing the drivers and Windows will find it.

To use target USB with VCOM driver you have to use target USB connector and of course the correct target program (=working USB)...

Thanks for all ur effort answering my question.

What i understood from ur reply is :\

Link2 USB is made for only debugging so am doing the same. LPCXpresso IDE is able to detect the debugger and my CPU halts.

But at the same time my aim is to enable UART so that i can print something on TERATERM or Hyper-terminal when debugging. Which is not happening now because i dont have a COM port active for this Board. How can i do that ?

For Example:
I have a similar type of board Seeeduino Arch Pro (mbed) and i got the driver to enable my COM port at the time of debugging.
So when i connect the board to my development PC, automatically the COM13 port appears and am able to send/recv characters/data by enabling UART on the target.

The similar way of working i want here on LPCXpresso LPC1549 and what i find is a Genuine way of working... I feel now my requirement will clear to u guys.

Thanks!

As mentioned already yesterday you have to[color=#f00] connect a second USB cable to 'TARGET USB CONNECTOR'...
[/color]
This board has 2 USB connectors. One for debugging and one for connecting the target USB.

I know there are systems which a using a single USB connector for Debug and USB connection to the target, but LPCXpresso requires both :exmark:

Dear LabRat

Now i connected both USB ports to my dev machine. So now i need some USB stack to run on my target so that i will get prompt(popup) for driver installation. is that correct ?

Is there any sample application in LPCOpen where i can test UART communication Quickly ?

Thanks Again for all ur help.

Regards!

Of course. LPCOpen is including several examples which are using LPC15xx ROM USB driver :)

They are named "usbd_rom_cdc..."

So now when ever am writing my own application i can follow usbd_cdc_.._xxx demos, if i want an serial communication to happen.

hi guys

i am working on lpcxpresso1549 kit in witch UART and USB march program i develop by using sample programs.
i got USB COM port by help of your reply but in witch whatever i sanded string by function in UART ,i got in teraterm garbage data
i don't no why i got garbage data.for experiment i changed clock and boardrate also but again garbage data.

can anybody help me why i got garbage data in teraterm?????

thank you.
