1. Background When an embedded device is being upgraded, due to external factors such as power outage and forced interruption, the new firmware can‘t be written completely into flash, which causes problems when the system is started. Or if the image file is damaged during device is currently running, the system will break down and the device cannot run. To solve these problems, you can use the dual image, which ensures that at least one image file can be started and works properly at any time. If anything goes wrong, the bootloader detects and uses the alternate image file. 2. Principle LPC5536 ROM supports the dual image boot for internal flash, that means, in the flash region, two boot images can be placed there; ROM decides to boot which image based on the image version, boot the one with the newer image version first, if fail, boot the older one. During power-on and startup, the ROM first detects the location and size of the relocated image file in the CMPA, and then detects the version number of the two images. Therefore, when the dual image is used,  mainly need configure the relocation address and version number of the image files. The internal flash boot flow for dual image is as follows:   2.1 Relocating Image File The LPC5536 internal flash supports remapping. When set the remap offset, Internal FLASH memory AHB access will change the access address adding the offset as the below figure shows. For example, when the offset is set to 128K(0x20000), the access to 0x0 will be remapped to 0x20000. Via this IP feature, ROM can implement a dual image boot with two images. The offset and the remap size of the image is set in CMPA region by the user. This is an illustration of two image files stored in internal FLASH. The offset and remap size of the second image is set by the user in the CMPA area to let ROM know the location of the second image.   2.2 Configuring Image Version The image version is the image header offset 0x24; bit 10 shows whether the image contains the image version for not; if bit10 is 0, that means the image has no image version; ROM will take the image version as 0.   3、Implementation 3.1 Configuring CMPA 1) Configure Data Values in the CMPA Use blhost to write the modified bin file to CMPA to configure the image1 offset and remap size. The procedure is as follows: First, open an all “0” cmpa.bin and change the data at 0x3E23C to 0x20000, as shown in the figure below:   Then, modify the remap size. The data at address 0x3E238 is changed to 0x1d800, as shown in the following figure:   Modify and save, rename as cmpa_new.bin, save as \blhost_2.6.7\blhost_2.6.7\bin\win. 2) Download cmpa_new.bin Blhost 2.6.7 is a command-line tool, that use it to program cmpa_new.bin. Check whether the communication between blhost and development board is successfully. Firstly, check the port number for connecting between development board and computer from  device manager.   Secondly, short 3 and 4 of jumper J43 on lpc55s36-evk to enable ISP boot. Thirdly, press the reset key to reset board, input connection test command “blhost-p com12 -- get-property 1” Check whether communication is normal. If connection is successful, the message will be displayed as below:   Program modified bin file into CMPA. Write CMPA by using command “blhost-pcom12 -- write-memory 0x3e200 cmpa_new.bin”as shown below:   Read back CMPA data after writing. To confirm the accuracy of the data, run command “blhost-pcom12 -- read-memory 0x3e200 512” to view the configured CMPA data, as shown in the following figure:   3.2 Setting Dual Image Version To observe experimental effect, Image0 function is the RED light on LPC5536-evk development blinking, Image1 function is BLUDE light blinking. In Image0 project, set version number to 1, in Image1 set version number to 2: Open the project of red light blinking and change the header file to 0x10400 at offset 0x24.   Open the project of blue light blinking and change the header file to 0x20400 at offset 0x24.   3.3 Remap Flash For users, LPC5536JBD100 has a total of 246K internal flash available, so Image0 is assigned to the address range 0x00000-0x1FFFF and Image1 is assigned to the address range 0x20000-0x3D7ff. If using MCUXpresso ID, the Settings are as follows: Right-click Selected Project -> choose Properties ->MCU settings, set the Location (start address) and Size, click  Apply button when finished. The red light blinking project are modified as follows:    The blue light blinking project modified as follows:   Re-compile the project.  3.4 Functional Testing Test application is two lighting projects, namely red light blinking and blue light blinking. The red light blinking is image0, version 1, and the blue light blinking is image1, version 2. Therefore, if test result is blue light blinking, dual image function works successfully.. Download Images: Using GUI Flash Tool in MCUXpresso IDE, download two image files to the development board:   Open, and the following view pops up. Select download File in "File to program", then click run button, image will be downloaded to flash.   When the download is complete, click OK.   Download another image in the same way. Note that "mass erase" cannot be checked when programing the second image. If you use other tools to program, also should disable the same function as "mass erase", avoid erasing the first image file. Test result： After downloading the program and reset, the blue light blinking. Further test: Change the version number of red light blinking project to 3, that is, modify 0x10400 to 0x30400. Then downloading the image file again. The red light blinking. 4、Summary Dual image function increases the security for boot and firmware update of embedded devices. It is necessary to pay attention to the way of setting image offset, remapping size and configuring image version in the CMPA area when using it, and also pay attention to the flash configuration in the two projects.   Attachment is test application project.

This document was made to explain how to regain control of any LPC EVK on brick mode without using an external debugger. Explore the simple way. In some cases, this method forms well and is the easy way, open your IDE and select your project.   At this point you may have a debugger configuration of your last debug session, so, you have similar icons to the image. Open the tab below and select erase. Depending on your debugger configuration you need to select the same icons below. Note: In some cases will be necessary to put your MCU in ISP. And that’s all, could try if the MCU is out the brick mode.   Introduction First, you need to install these tools on your PC. LPCScrypt [LPCScrypt v2.1.2 | NXP Semiconductors]. J-Link Commander. [J-Link Commander (segger.com)]. To understand this document, we need to know that every EVK [Evaluation Kit] can be divided into 2 parts. The debugger on the board Link2 and the target LPC55sXX. Figure 1. Link2 Green square, LPC55sXX Red square This document will describe two methods that must be done in the order mentioned because we will see how to update the firmware of the debugger to use the same board for a self-recovery, this step is necessary for the tool J-Link Commander to recognize the debugger as a Segger probe, then when the update is done the second step should be to enter ISP mode to do a mass erase of the target to get out of the brick mode. Link2 The Link 2 (LPC4370) debugger on the board probe can be configured to support various development tools and IDEs using a variety of different downloadable firmware images. Available firmware images include: J-Link by Segger. LinkServer. By default, the EVK board has the firmware LinkServer on the LPC4322 (dependent on your board), for this proposal we will see how to change to J-Link On-Board. DFU The EVK needs to be prepared to receive this firmware on the debugger, to do that we need to put the board on DFU [Device Firmware Update]. On the schematic need to find the DFU jumper to put on the board, the image below is an example of different EVKs check Figure 2.   Figure 2. DFU from different boards. Then connect it to the PC. Note: The firmware update is completely reversible. LPCScrypt Once installed on the PC we need to locate these files of the installation. Root example: C:\nxp\LPCScrypt\scripts When you have the board on DFU, connecting the USB Llink2 to the PC and then RUN the Scrypt (program_JLINK) in CMD check Figure 3. Press any key to continue… Figure 3. Flash firmware of J-Link in DFU mode. Successfully done, at this moment the EVK has the firmware of J-Link Segger. Review the Figure 4. Figure 4. The firmware was flashed successfully. Remove the USB cable to remove the DFU jumper with the board unpowered. ISP Brief of ISP (In System Programming) this method is used to recover a part programmed with a corrupted image which is not detectable by ROM. So, to enter this mode the user needs to put a jumper in the ISP header pins, search for this in the schematic, then connect to the PC and check Figure 5.     Figure 5. ISP image examples from different boards. J-LINK Commander Open the software and if the communication is right the message will appear J-Link via USB… OK check Figure 6. Figure 6. The EVK is now communicating to the tool J-Link Commander. Commands To start the communication needs to send the command “connect”. Then the tool shows your last target (if you use it) and use the next command “?” to change the target review Figure 7. Figure 7. Review the target. In the new popup window in the green area, you need to put the name of the target, take care you do not put the debugger check Figure 8. Figure 8. In the green area, you need to put the matricula of the MCU target. Example [LPC55s16 or LPC55s69] depending of your target check Figure 9. Figure 9. If the tool supports the MCU will show below the red square. In the next selections the tool is asking for the interface of communication, the communication of the EVK is SWD, and for that write “S” as SWD. On speed, only click enter without entry. Then this will appear before the connection check Figure 10. Figure 10. The communication is Done. Then use the command “erase” like the Figure 11. Figure 11. The tool indicate the erase is done. Finally disconnect the USB and remove the ISP jumper, then open the IDE and test the blinky led example, or if you wanted you could use the BLHOST. Flashing the MCU using  BLHOST. At this step you could able to use the IDE or use BLHOST. You could install SPSDK if you wanted [Installation Guide — SPSDK documentation]. In ISP mode… blhost -p COMxx  get-property 1 Figure 12. The first command is to check the communication. blhost -p COMxx flash-erase-all Figure 13. Do a mass erase. blhost -p COMxx write-memory 0 C:\root_example\Debug\led_blinky.bin Figure 14. The flashing was done. Remove the ISP jumper and reset your device. Common error LPCScrypt If the message appears “Nothing to boot”, need to be sure the board is connected to the PC with the DFU mode in LINK 2 check Figure 16. Figure 16. The red square is an example of an error communication. J-Link Commander If a similar message appears, “Cannot connect to target”, need to put the target in ISP mode, and return to the first steps with J-Link commander check Figure 18. Figure 18. Show how the communication is not done.

  Background LPC55(S)XX and MCX series products support updating firmware (ELF, HEX, BIN or SREC/S19) in ISP mode, including USB, UART, SPI, and I2C  connection interfaces.  There was no official host software tool supporting SPI-ISP and I2C-ISP before, so it was difficult for customers to update firmware files through I2C and SPI in ISP mode. Now NXP has launched MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool(SEC or SPT), a graphical interface tool that makes it easy to connect through the four ISP interfaces. Based on the SEC, this article takes LPCXpresso55S69 as an example to introduce the methods of updating firmware in four modes: USB-ISP, UART-ISP, SPI-ISP and I2C-ISP.   Preparation （1）Software MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool is a graphical user interface tool, which is mainly used for security configuration. When  MCU is in the ISP mode, you can use this tool to connect and communicate, it support all interfaces of  ISP. LPC55(s)xx series include four ISP download interfaces: USB, UART, SPI, and I2C. This article is based on this to introduce. （2）Hardware LPCXpresso55S69-evk development board (chip version is 1B)   Steps Make chip into ISP mode before  using SEC tool connect. When power-on, BOOT ROM determines whether enter the ISP mode, based on the CMPA configuration in bit DEFAULT_ISP_MODE and ISP pin status. As shown in  following tables：     Keep the default value of EFAULT_ISP_MODE to “000”, and enter the ISP mode by pulling down the ISP pin PIO0_5. The first valid probe message on USART, I2C, SPI or USB locks in that interface. On LPCXpresso55S69 development board, connect the ISP interface cable (USB\UART\SPI\I2C), press and hold the ISP button, power on,  it will  enter ISP mode.   3.1 USB HID ISP mode （1）In LPC55(s)xx, HS-USB is default USB-ISP port, LPCxpresso55s69-evk uses P9 port, use USB cable to connect P9 and PC. （2）Press and hold  ISP button, reset board, entered ISP-USB mode. （3）Configure MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool: select USB connection mode, test connection. First, click "File->New Workspace", open the option to create a new workspace, and select the processor model you are using.     Then, click "Target->Connection" to open the connection configuration.   In configuration, select USB interface, click “Test Connection” button, if the result shows " ok", connected successfully.   （4）Select the source file in "Source executable image". This tool can build plaint image, signed image, and encrypted image. You can configure it according to your own requirements. For example, use a plain image file "lpcxpresso55s69_gpio_led_output.hex", this file is a binary file generated from MCUXpresso IDE under the SDK example. Click the "Build image" button, ensure that the compilation was successful.     （5）Download the image file Choose “Write Image” view, in “Image path” select the image generated by the previous step, then click  “Write Image” button.   If download  successfully, the following picture will be displayed:     3.2 UART ISP mode （1）LPC55(s)xx  use UART0 as UART-ISP interface, you can use USB cable to connect P6 of LPCxpresso55s69-evk and PC, or use USB-UART convertor to connect UART0 TX/RX and PC. （2）Enter ISP mode, refer to 3.1. （3）Configure MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool, refer to 3.1, select UART connection mode, and perform connection test.   Step 4 and step 5 are the same as 3.1.   3.3 SPI ISP mode (1) LPC55(s) 2x/6x currently includes two versions, 0A and 1B, which can be checked from the chip mask. The 0A version supports SPI3 and HS_SPI ISP interface, and the 1B version only supports HS_SPI ISP interface. This article uses version 1B for the experiment. Both SPI and I2C use LIBUSB interface, LPC-LINK2 and MCU-LINK pro support this function interface, so as long as there is LPC-LINK2 or MCU-LINK pro, SPI-ISP and SEC tool connection can be realized. Special reminder: LPC-link2 and MCU-LINK pro must be updated to CMSIS-DAP debugging interface, J-link does not support this function. In the LPCxpresso55s69-evk development board, SPI3 is connected to LPC-LINK2 by default, and HS_SPI is not connected, so  an external connection is required, connect SCK, MOSI, MISO, and SSEL1 of HS_SPI to the corresponding positions of LPC-link2. For details, please refer to the lpc55xx manual and the development board schematic. It can also be connected according to the figure below. The connection of the development board is shown in the below picture   (2) Connect the USB cable to the P6 port. (3) Enter ISP mode, refer to 3.1. (4) Configure MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool, refer to 3.1, select the SPI connection mode, and perform a connection test.   Step 5 and step 6 are the same as 3.1.   3.4 I2C ISP mode The I2C-ISP mode is the same as SPI, with the help of the LIBUSB interface, that is, the LPC-link2 on the development board. Special reminder: LPC-link2 and MCU-LINK pro must be updated to CMSIS-DAP debugging interface, J-link does not support this function. (1)  Connect the USB cable to the P6 port. (2)  LPC55(s)6x/2x uses I2C1, and LPCxpresso55s69-evk development board has already connected I2C1 and LPC-LINK2, no need additional connection. (3)  Enter ISP mode, refer to 3.1. (4) Configure the MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool, refer to 3.1, select the I2C connection mode, and perform a connection test.   Step 5 and step 6 are the same as 3.1.   Summary (1) All ISP interfaces (USB/UART/SPI/I2C) are supported by MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool. (2) LPC-link2/MCU-LINK pro must be configured as CMSIS-DAP debug probe. (3) Check the chip version and make sure use the correct SPI port. (4) Make sure that the usb  cable interface is connected correctly and must enter the ISP mode before testing the connection.      

This article mainly introduces how to re-enable SWD after disabled. 1.Problem description The Enhanced Code Read Protection (ECRP) of the LPC546xx series is used to configure different security levels for user programs. It is configured when the startup image file offset is 0x20 and is used in combination with OTP. Users of LPC546xx can disable SWD and ISP by configuring ECRP values. Some users need to re-enable SWD after disabling SWD, you can use the J-link commander "unlock LPC5460x" command or re-enable SWD based on LPC-LINK2 CMSIS-DAP these two methods, this article will introduce the two methods in detail. 2.Theoretical analysis and solutions Customer’s example: LPC54605:Configure ECRP to 0x00015800. After disabling SWD, it needs to be restored. When the ECRP value is 0x00015800, we analyze from high to low through  user manual. In ECRP, 31:18 bits are reserved, and 17:16 bits determine the status of SWD. In this example, 17:16=01 ,this means that SWD is disabled.   15: 14 =01, it is not allowed to enter ISP through IAP call.   13: 12 = 01, it is not allowed to enter ISP through pin.   11: 10 = 10, IAP sector erase / write protection is disabled, so sector protect (5:0) is ignored.   At this point,  SWD (17:16) is DISABLED, ISP Entry from ISP (15:14) is DISABLED, and ISP Entry from Bootloader (13:12) is DISABLED, the IAP Mass Erase can still be used to erase the entire Flash to recover a device. as long as the OTP MASS ERASE is ENABLED. If the OTP has been configured and bit 4 is set to 1, that is, disabled mass erase command, the SWD can never be recovered again. When Mass Erase is enabled, the Debug Mailbox is also enabled and allows a debugger to communicate with the bootloader to execute a Mass Erase.   Therefore, the Debug Mailbox can be used to perform Mass Erase operation and restore ECRP settings. To achieve the purpose of re-enabling SWD. 3. Re-enable SWD 3.1 Use "unlock LPC5460x" command re-enable SWD If use J-link debug probe, use "unlock LPC5460x" command to re-enable SWD. Open the J-Link commander and enter unlock to view supported devices. Enter the corresponding chip command. In this paper, the command is unlock LPC5460x. As shown in the picture below:   However, for some chips, this method still fails to re-enable SWD. The following is a method of SWD recovery based on LPC-LINK2 CMSIS DAP. If the unlock LPC546xx command does not work, use the following method. 3.2 LPC-LINK2 CMSIS-DAP re-enable SWD If use CMSIS-DAP debug probe, use below steps to re-enable SWD. IDE: MCUXpresso IDE v11.7.1_9221 or other version. IDE installation path: C:\nxp\ MCUXpresso IDE v11.7.1_9221. The development board emulator firmware uses LPC-LINK2 CMSIS-DAP. Tool script: LPC546xxMassErase.scp. Tool script path: C:\nxp\ MCUXpresso IDE v11.7.1_9221 \ide\binaries\Scripts. The operations are the same for other versions of MCUXpressoIDE and other installation paths. 1) Put LPC546xxMassErase.scp script in the path: C:\nxp\MCUXpressoIDE_11.7.1_922\ide\binaries\Scripts 2) Open a command prompt window. 3) Change the path to C:\nxp\ MCUXpresso IDE v11.7.1_9221 \ide\binaries.   4) Run the redlinkserv -commandline command. 5) After running the redlinkserv -commandline command, you should see the redlink> prompt.   6) Run the load command "C:\nxp\MCUXpressoIDE_11.7.1_9221\ide\binaries\Scripts\LPC546xxMassErase.scp". 7) After executing the load command, you should see that "LPC546xxMassErase.scp" is being loaded. 😎 Execute the run command. 9) After executing the run command, you should see the following message.   In this case, the SWD interface can be used normally. 4.Query ECRP level In the LPC546xx user manual, we can see  ISP-AP command, one function is query the ECRP  level, that is, to view the ECRP configuration of this chip.   From the log in part 3, we can see the returned ECRP level:   However, there is no explanation in the user manual, so here we show the meanings of each bit. There is a table translation from the ECRP level user defined and the ECRP definition used by the ROM code: /* Feature bit defines */ #define CRP_JTAG_EN_BIT         (1 << 6) #define CRP_MASS_ERASE_DIS_BIT  (1 << 7) #define CRP_IAP_PROT_EN_BIT     (1 << 😎 #define CRP_ISP_PINS_EN_BIT     (1 << 9) #define CRP_ISP_IAP_EN_BIT      (1 << 10) #define CRP_DBG_MBOX_EN_BIT     (1 << 11) #define CRP_COUNT_MASK          0x3F #define CRP_DEFAULT_FEATURES    0xFFFFFFFF #define CRP_MASS_ERASE_ONLY     (CRP_SECT_ERASE_DIS_BIT) For example: In CRP_JTAG_EN_BIT, 1 is JTAG/SWD enabled and 0 is disabled. It’s corresponding to ECRP value bit 17 and 16. In CRP_MASS_ERASE_DIS_BIT, 0 is Mass Erase allowed and 1 is disallowed. It’s corresponding to the combination of ECRP value bit 0~5, bit 10~11, and bit 14~15. In CRP_IAP_PROT_EN_BIT, 1 is IAP protection enabled and 0 is disabled. It’s corresponding to ECRP value bit 14~15. In CRP_ISP_PINS_EN_BIT, 1 is ISP pin enabled and 0 is disabled. It’s corresponding to ECRP value bit 12~13. In CRP_ISP_IAP_EN_BIT, 1 is ISP in IAP mode enabled and 0 is disabled. It’s corresponding to ECRP value bit 14~15. In CRP_DBG_MBOX_EN_BIT, 1 is ISP-AP or debugger mailbox enabled and 0 is disabled. It’s corresponding the combination of some reserved ECRP bits and OTP setting. Of course, all these ECRP value used by the ROM not only look into the user defined ECRP value but also check the OTP setting. When “Query ECRP Level” is called, it returns the value used by the ROM code, but not the ECRP value programmed in the image by the user. 5.Summary: In the LPC546xx series, even if SWD is disabled, the debugger can communicate with LPC5460x through the Debug mailbox. As long as OTP does not disable Mass Erase, the debugger can ask LPC5460x to perform mass erase through the Debug Mailbox to re-enable SWD functionality. In addition, the article also adds the specific meaning of the value returned by the ISP-AP command.    

The ADC of LPC55xx supports scan mode, in scan mode, once ADC triggering (either hardware or software) can convert multiple analog channels. The document gives an example that the CTImer2 module triggers ADC and ADC converts two analog channels for each triggering. The doc introduces the CTimer configuration, ADC triggering control register configuration, and ADC Command buffer chain and ADC result reading , in this way, the CTimer can trigger ADC, the ADC can convert multiple channels. The example and the doc are attached. The Example is developed based on SDK example lpcxpresso55s69_lpcadc_interrupt example, the tools is MCUXprsso IDE ver11.7, the SDK package is SDK_2.x_LPCXpresso55S69 ver2.11.1  

In some early LPC products, such as LPC11xx, LPC17xx, LPC18xx, LPC40xx, LPC43xx, LPC8xx, etc, CRP is used to utilize code protection. CRP has three different security levels: Figure 1 shows the security levels of CRP1, CRP2, and CRP3. Figure 1 The LPC55 series (LPC55(S)0x, 1x,2x, and 6x) uses Secure boot and Protected Flash Region (PFR) configuration instead of CRP for security protection. The part number with S (eg. LPC55S) supports Secure boot, for instance, LPC55S28 and LPC55S06. However, non-S series products, such as LPC5506, LPC5528,  can only utilize code protection by configuring FPR related fields. CRP2 is the most commonly used protection level. With CRP2, SWD access is blocked, so users can not read, write, or erase Flash via SWD or ISP. In addition, users cannot erase part of Flash to modify existing code. Once in CRP2 mode, Flash can only be recovered by Mass Erase Flash, which effectively prevents attacker from reading and modifying the Flash code. Unfortunately, the LPC5500 device such as LPC55(S)0x, 1x,2x,6x doesn't have exactly the same functional mechanism as the CRP2, which is questioned by many users. However, if we need to achieve the same functionality as CRP2, we can configure CMPA to disable ISP and SWD debugging port. 1.   Disable ISP Customer Manufacturing/Factory Configuration Area (CMPA) is part of the PFR, Configure BOOT_CFG to select whether the ISP mode is enabled. Table 1 shows the field table starting with 9E40 word address in CMPA. ISP control domains have been marked in red (as shown in Table 1). Table 2 shows the mode selection of ISP domains, 111 is ISP disabled. If the ISP mode is disabled, set BOOT_CFG to 0b1110000. Word Address（HEX） Byte Address Field Description 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 9E40 9E400 BOOT_CFG Default ISP mode 0 0 0 0 9E404 SPI_FLASH_CFG 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9E408 USB_ID USB Vendor ID 9E40C SDIO_CFG 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9E41 9E410 CC_SOCU_PIN ISP_CMD_EN MCM33_DBGEN 0 0 0 0 0 9E414 CC_SOCU_DFLT ISP_CMD_EN MCM33_DBGEN TAPEN SPIDEN SPNIDEN DBGEN NIDEN Table 1 Default ISP mode Bit 【6：4】 Auto ISP 000 USB_HID_MSC 001 UART ISP 010 SPI Slave ISP 011 I2C slave ISP 100 Disable ISP 111 Table 2 2.   Disable SWD The DCFG_CC_SOCU is a configuration that specifies debug access restrictions per debug domain. These access restrictions are also referred as constraint attributes in this section. The debug subsystem is sub-divided into multiple debug domains to allow finer access control. Figure 2 shows debug domains and their corresponding control bit position in DCFG_CC_SOCU. Logically, DCFG_CC_SOCU has two components: SOCU_PIN and SOCU_DFLT. The SOCU_PIN and SOCU_DFLT registers are used together to define SWD debug access for the module. Which is logically composed of two components: SOCU_PIN: A bitmask that specifies which debug domains are predetermined by device configuration. SOCU_DFLT: Provides the final access level for those bits that the SOCU_PIN field indicated are predetermined by device configuration. In another words, set the corresponding bit of SOCU_PIN and SOCU_DFLT register to 1 at the same time to enable the module. This module is disabled by setting the corresponding bits of the SOCU_PIN and SOCU_DFLT registers to 0 simultaneously. See Figure 2. Figure 2 Note that the default value of CC_SOCU_PIN and CC_SOCU_DFLT in LPC55 PFR are all zeros. Therefore, in this case, although SOCU_PIN and SOCU_DFLT are both 0, the bit reverse rule is not met (Figure 3 below). Therefore, all debugging permissions are enabled by default when CC_SOCU_PIN and CC_SOCU_DFLT are all 0. Figure 3 Note: the distinction between CC_SOCU_PIN(CC_SOCU_DFLT) and SOCU_PIN(SOCU_DFLT). The former with CC_ includes the reverse bit of the latter. For example, if SOCU_PIN and SOCU_DFLT are set to all zeros and the reverse bit is set to 1, all SWD modules are disabled. Figure 4 3. Implementation The following uses LPC5506 as an example to configure the CMPA field: 3.1  Disable ISP and SWD Figure 5 Keep the default CMPA values except for the two highlighted in red in Figure 5. 1) Set BOOT_CFG to 0x70 to disable ISP. 2) Set all SOCU_PIN and SOCU_DFLT to 0, and set all reverse bits to 1. That is, disable all debug accessing subdomains. 3.2 Enable ISP and SWD Figure 6 Keep the default CMPA values except for the two highlighted in red in Figure 6. 1) Set BOOT_CFG to 0x00 to enable Auto ISP. 2) Restore the default values of DCFG_CC_SOCU, that is, CC_SOCU_PIN and CC_SOCU_DFLT to all zeros. in this case, all debug permissions are restored (turned on) because the rule of bit reversal is not met (see Part 2 of this article). 3.3 Code Implementation Enable or disable the SWD and ISP functions by serial command (1 or 0). Figure 7 The demo code is attached. This routine has been tested on the LPCXpresso55S06 development board. NOTE：     As system security requirements and the attack surface evolves, it is important for customers to understand the types of attacks (especially advanced physical attacks) which NXP does not claim to protect against, or strongly mitigate, so that appropriate mitigation can be taken by the customer at the system level if necessary.  

The minimum saturation current spec of Inductor is 300mA in the LPC55xx internal DC/DC converter, why is it 300mA, what is the actual current flowing through the inductor? 1)This is internal DC/DC converter block diagram for LPC55xx, on the LX pin, the 4.7uH inductor and 22uF capacitor are required, the FB pin is the detected pin to sense the output voltage, the DC/DC converter provide about 1.1V power for the VDD_PMU power supply pin. Let's discuss the current flowing through the inductor L1 via LX pin   2)compute the actual current flowing the inductor The above circuit is the illustrating block diagram, the control regulation uses PWM signal to control the MOSFET, but the high time of the PWM signal is constant for each PWM cycle, in other words, the on-time of the MOSFET is constant, for the LPC55S69 internal DC/DC converter, the on-time Δt is 0.52us, which means that the interval of MOSFET turning-on time is 0.52us. Assume that the VDC_IN is 3.3V, the output voltage of the DC/DC converter is 1.1V, the constant high time of the PWM signal is 0.52uS. when the MOSFET is on, the capacitor will be charged.   The above figure is the waveform tested on the LX pin of LPC55S68 on the LPC55S69-EVK board, you can measure via scope that the high time of the yellow PWM signal is 0.52uS, during which the MOSFET turns on, the capacitor is charged. The inductor works in DCM mode(discontinuous current mode)   The incremental current flowing the inductor during the MOSFET turns on: ΔI= (VDC_IN-VDC_OUT)* Δt/L=(3.3V-1.1V)*0.52*10**(-6)/4.7*10**(-6)=243mA.   3)The actual flowing current through the inductor is about 250mA for each PWM cycle, so when you select the inductor, the saturation current spec must be greater than actual current, the minimum required saturation current spec for the 4.7uH inductor is 300mA, when you select inductor for the DC/DC converter, you should select the inductor with 300mA or above saturation current .

The example demos how to use ARM TX Event to trigger ADC based on LPC55S69-EVK board and MCUXPresso IDE and SDK. As the Table 753, the “ARM tx event” is the one of the ADC triggering source, although it is a hardware triggering, but the mechanism is the same as software triggering, after ADC configuration, you execute the instruction asm(“SEV”); the ARM tx event will be generated and trigger ADC to sample. The ADC of LPC55xx support hardware trigger mode, each hardware trigger source corresponds to a trigger register, as the Table 753, the ARM tx event ASC triggering source index is 11, so you have to initialize the ADC trigger control register TCTRL11. In the TCTRL11 register, you can assign the command ID, select the FIFO0 or FIFO1 to save the ADC result, enable hardware triggering.    

Continuously reducing the power consumption of integrated circuits is a constant topic in the development of integrated circuits. Reduced power consumption helps save power, extend standby time and reduce product heat, etc. Needless to say, low power consumption has become one of the important factors to measure product performance.   We usually recommend customers to refer MCUXpresso SDK power_mode_switch_lpc demo as low power design reference code. With this demo, customers can use serial terminal to control MCU to enter four low power consumption modes：Sleep mode，Deep Sleep mode，Power Down mode and deep power down mode. Meanwhile, user can also choose a variety of wake-up methods to wake up MCU through UART command.   However, when customers take use of power_mode_switch_lpc demo to measure lower power static characteristics, they find discrepancies with data sheet. Take example with LPCXpresso845MAX board. In power down mode, the demo board current reaches to around 100uA in debug mode. But data sheet states the typical current value is 1.5uA, no more than 10uA (see the Table below). Where is the problem? The purpose of the power_mode_switch_lpc demo is to demonstrate several low power modes and multiple wake-up methods to customers. We can’t get similar low power current value with default demo board as spec shows, but let's walk through a step-by-step demonstration and modify the routine to get the data sheet values.   LAB ENVIRONMENT: Demo Board: LPCXpresso845MAX SDK: SDK_2.11.0_LPCXpresso845MAX Demo Code: power_mode_switch_lpc IDE：MCUXpresso IDE v11.5.0   STEP: 1. Download power_mode_switch_lpc to LPC845 development board and run it. The serial port selects low power mode, press (SW2 button) to wake up. The program runs into power down mode, with debugger connected, the measured Idd is 99.5uA To enter low power mode, the following code is used: POWER_EnterPowerDown(DEMO_ACTIVE_IN_DEEPSLEEP); In order to wake up, parameter DEMO_ACTIVE_IN_DEEPSLEEP is configured with PDSLEEPCFG. BOD and watchdog oscillator power domains are turned on. All these setting results in potential current loss, causing power supply current higher than expectation.   2. In this step, we will remove wakeup initialization code // DEMO_InitWkt(); Replace this line of code //POWER_EnterPowerDown(DEMO_ACTIVE_IN_DEEPSLEEP); //enter power down mode with BOD and watchdog osc with POWER_EnterPowerDown(0); //power down BOD and watchdog osc   The modification is to turn off BOD power domain and watchdog clock in power down mode, compile and download the code again and enter the power down mode. At this time, the measured Idd is 57.3uA   In this way, Idd is significantly reduced. However, 57.3uA is still far from the typical value of 1.5uA stated in the data sheet. This is due to MCU debug power domain is turned on by IDE debugger, which leads to extra current consumption.  3. Thus we disconnect debugger and let the development board work in stand-alone mode (power off and re-power on). After power on, LPC is in power down mode. At this time, the measured Idd is 1.4uA. This is quite similar as the current value in datasheet. Consider GPIO configuration: The spec data shown in datasheet are tested under a dedicated test board with almost no external peripheral devices, and unused pins are basically in a floating state. For custom board or  LPCXpresso804 EVK. Some of its IO pins have external pull-up resistors and LEDs. If the GPIO is configured to output low power, the small light will be lit, resulting in additional power consumption. So we configure all pins as pull-up inputs for low power measurement.   Consider package: The test is based on LPCXpresso845MAX equipped LPC845 64pin package. It also applies to LPC845 48pin package. 33 package doesn't have VDDA pin. Due to VDD and VDDA pin design are not exactly the same as other package, for instance, 33pin low power consumption in power down mode is slightly higher than 64/48pin, but no more than 10uA as our spec in DS. Summary: Low power current parameters of the data sheet are measured with all MCU oscillators and analog domains off. Besides, reasonable configuration of GPIO can further reduce MCU power consumption. Before entering the low power consumption mode, it is recommended to set the unused GPIO as a pull-up input according to the actual situation (It can also be set to output low when the pin is floating). In applications with high requirements for low power consumption, users need to carefully optimize the code design to obtain the best low power consumption design.

The gain error is less than 5%, and the input offset voltage is less than 5mV, which can meet the presicion need to a certain extent. It is worth mentioning that the output error of LPC5536-OPAMP is very small at low magnification. For example, the full-range error is just single-digit mV at the magnifications of 2X and 5X in non-inverting mode. For scenarios requiring higher precision, users can connect the external high-precision resistors to achieve higher output precision.  The article includes detailed test steps and EVK board settings. For detail, see attached article.  

Because the LPC55S69 has PowerQuad, in SDK example code, the FFT/FIR/IIR and the other DSP function are implemented by the Powerquad module instead of the Cortex-CM33 core.  This is the Powerquad example to implement the DSP function:'   But if customers want to use CMSIS-DSP to implement the DSP function based on Cortex-CM33 instead of Powerquad module, customers can not import SDK example, he has to create a new project, this is the procedures: 1)Create a new project by clicking New->Create a new C/C++ Project   2)select the processor like LPC55S69 3)In the following menu,click CMSIS Driver, and check the CMSIS_DSP_Library and CMSIS_DSP_Library_Source You have to click the Driver which can select your peripherals driver you will use.    3)as the following screenshot, after completion, you can see the CMSIS-DSP source code and library have included in the project    

For the CM33 of LPC55S6x family, the trust zone module is integrated, the memory space and peripherals are classified as security and non-security space. In order to generate interrupt in non-security mode, the NVIC module including the NVIC_ITNSx register must be initialized in security mode so that interrupt module can generate interrupt in non-security mode. The example demos that MRT0 module generates interrupt in non-security mode, the NVIC module is initialized at security mode, MRT0 is initialized at non-security mode. The project is based on MCUXpresso IDE ver11.1 tools, LPC55S69-EVK board and SDK_2.x_LPCXpresso55S69 SDK package version 2.11.1.

A vulnerability (CVE-2022-22819) has been identified on select NXP processors by which a malformed SB2 file header sent to the device as part of an update or recovery boot can be used to create a buffer overflow. The buffer overflow can then be used to launch various exploits. Refer to the attached bulletin for more information.   09/26/2022 - Bulletin updated to include fix datecode information. 11/01/2022 - Bulletin updated with clarification that mixed datecodes are RT600 only.    

As a free and open-source graphics library, LVGL provides great convenience for related series of chips in creating animations, building advanced graphics and building various blocks. LVGL has been integrated into the MCUXpresso SDK package, which can be imported either through the SDK download or directly in the GUI Guider. GUI-Guider is a ready-to-use GUI from NXP. On the basis of being free for NXP equipment, it has a series of advantages such as convenient operation, automatic programming, Chinese and English interface and input. The following takes the LPC54S018 development board as an example, by creating a simple UI interface, to let everyone familiar with its basic operation process and usage. Create new project Select V8 lvgl version, LPC54S018 development board, EmptyUI, set the name and path, click Finish Fig.1 Set the overall background Drag Widget Tab to the GUI Editor, and resize it to full screen size.

After LPC54XXX enter ISP mode, there are two methods to upgrade the application through UART/I2C/SPI/USB. One method is to change the ISP pin state when power on, and the other method is to reinvoke ISP Boot ROM in source code during code running. The first method does not require user to write any code, and the operation is simple, but the disadvantage is that it is not flexible and is not suitable for on-site operation; The second method is more flexible and is widely used in Secondary Bootloader applications developed by yourself, but it requires users to write their own code. In actual development, because the USB port of personal computer is easy to use, the method of using the USB port for application upgrade is becoming more and more popular. Unfortunately, we currently do not have instructions for upgrading the application by the USB port in ISP mode. So we write this article to share the method here.   There are two methods to enter ISP mode: Method 1: Enter ISP mode to upgrade the application during power on On the hardware side, configure the ISP0~2 pins before power-on or reset, and the MCU enters ISP mode to upgrade the application. The pin configuration method is as follows: Figure 1.   Method 2: Activate Reinvoke ISP in source code to upgrade the application In ISP mode, the application is upgraded through UART/I2C/SPI/USB. This article focuses on the USB method. Here for USB, Both USB0 (Full Speed) and USB1 (High Speed) of LPC54XXX can be used for application upgrade. There are two USB upgrade modes: DFU (Device Firmware Updata) and MSC (Mass Storage Device Class), as follows: Figure 2.   Select the application upgrade mode by modifying byte 0 and byte 1 of the ISP parameter array. The key code is as follows Figure 3.   There are 3 key point we need to pay attention in Figure 3: -When isp_mode[0] is configured as 0xAA, it is DFU mode, otherwise it is MSC mode (for example, isp_mode[0] is configured as 0xFF). -When isp_mode[1] is configured as 8, USB FS is used, and when it is configured as 9, USB HS is used. -Enter the ISP mode through the Chip_IAP_ReinvokeISP function. 2.1 Use DFU for application upgrade Tool preperation: To work with DFU, dfu-util tool is needed to use DFU to upgrade the application, you can download the DFU tool on the DFU official website. The link is as follows: http://dfu-util.sourceforge.net/ NXP also includes the dfu-util tool in LPCScrypt. If you have downloaded LPCScrypt, you can use it directly in the bin directory.   DFU update application Steps: Take LPC54628 as an example, ISP is configured as DUF mode, and USB1 is used to upgrade the application. Modify the relevant code in Figure 3, as follows: isp_mode[0] = 0xAA; isp_mode[1] = SL_USBHS; Build and download the application to the MCU, power on again, and connect USB1 to the computer. Here Enter the dfu-util tool directory and copy the .bin file to the current directory. Use the command: ./dfu-util -l   Find the DFU devices. Use the command: ./dfu-util -D .\lpcxpresso54628_gpio_led_output.bin -a 0 Download the lpcxpresso54628_gpio_led_output.bin file to the device with alt number 0. Alt0 is "FLASH", alt1 is "RAM", and the specific operations are as follows:   Figure 4.   After downloading the application successfully, reset the MCU and observe the blinking phenomenon of the LED on the development board.   2.2 Use MSC for application upgrade Take LPC54628 as an example, ISP is configured as MSC mode, and USB1 is used to upgrade the application. Modify the relevant code in Figure 3, as follows: isp_mode[0] = 0xFF; isp_mode[1] = SL_USBHS; Build and download the application to the MCU, power on again, and connect USB1 to the computer. You will found another disk in my computer, as follows: Figure 5.   Then do the following to update firmware: -Remove the original firmware.bin in the CRP DISABLD disk. -Rename the application (for example, lpcxpresso54628_gpio_led_output.bin) to firmware.bin. -Copy the application firmware.bin to the CRP DISABLD disk. -Reset the MCU, if the LED is observed blinking, it proves that the application has been successfully upgraded. Note: The application must be renamed, and the rename cannot be performed in the CRP DISABLD disk.   Demo project：lpcxpresso54628_flashiap.zip Application upgrade file：lpcxpresso54628_gpio_led_output.bin (generated by SDK demo code)

  需求： 客户需要对Image文件做出完整性检测，利用IDE固有功能添加这类信息简便且可靠，以往有类似的link提到了这些配置，对于LPC55系列，需要做一些更新。 CRC Checksum Generation with MCUXpresso IDE - NXP Community Solution 基于MCUX环境 下载 SRecord http://srecord.sourceforge.net/ srec_cat.exe是下载后我们主要使用的工具，通过为其添加一个系统变量名，将SRecord目录加入系统路径     重启MCUX IDE之后可以在工程配置中看到该变量：       创建一个脚本文件crc_add.txt，放在debug目录下，用于填充app后的flash空余位置为0xFF, 并后续生成CRC32值并放置0x00037FFC位置。最终生成的srec文件为包含所有内容的image。           # srec_cat command file to add the CRC and produce application file to be flashed # Usage: srec_cat @filename #first: create CRC checksum lpcxpresso55s06_hello_world_image_length_MCUX.srec # input file #-fill 0xFF 0x00000000 0x00038000 # fill blank code area with 0xff from 0x00000000 to 0x00038000 (0x00038000是把LPC55S06的末尾地址稍往前提，实际因为0x0003D7FF） -fill 0xFF 0x00000000 0x00037FFC #填充0-0x37FFC区间的未用地址为0xff -crop 0x00000000 0x00037FFC # just keep code area for CRC calculation below , 保留这段区间的内容，排除除此范围内的其他数据 #-CRC16_Big_Endian 0x00037FFE -CCITT # calculate big endian CCITT CRC16 at given address.， 为以上空间数据计算CRC16，并放置在0x00037FFE地址，2字节 -CRC32_Little_Endian 0x00037FFC -CCITT #CRC32 -crop 0x00037FFC 0x00038000 # keep the CRC itself #second: add application file lpcxpresso55s06_hello_world_image_length_MCUX.srec # input file -fill 0xFF 0x00000000 0x00037FFC # fill code area with 0xff -crop 0x00000000 0x00037FFC #-crop 0x10000000 0x10000170 0x10000172 0x10010000 #keep all except CRC #finally, produce the output file -Output # produce output lpcxpresso55s06_hello_world_image_length_MCUX_crc.srec      创建一个crc_file_convert.txt文件，也放在debug目录下，用于将上一步生成的最终image的srec文件转换为bin文件，用于生成或者比对 # srec_cat command file to add the CRC and produce application file to be flashed # Usage: srec_cat @filename #third: create bin file lpcxpresso55s06_hello_world_image_length_MCUX_crc.srec -o lpcxpresso55s06_hello_world_image_length_MCUX_crc.bin -binary 在IDE的Post build栏目添加如下命令：     arm-none-eabi-size "${BuildArtifactFileName}"   默认自带的统计image size功能 arm-none-eabi-objcopy -v -O binary "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.bin"    将image转成bin文件，用于后续使用和比对 arm-none-eabi-objcopy -v -O srec "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.srec" & srec_cat.exe @CRC_add.txt 填充image，计算CRC32，整合成新的srec image srec_cat.exe @CRC_file_convert.txt  将上一步得到的srec image转化为bin文件，用于后续使用和比对   《hello_world_image_length_MCUX》例程会自行统计应用程序的CRC32值，并于IDE产生的CRC32值做比对   这里需要注意的是，由于MCUX IDE是借助于外部工具来填充flash和计算CRC32，所以默认IDE调试和下载选择afx文件并不包含这些信息。当校验程序开始运行，会发生： 读写未写入的flash，对于LPC55系列会发生hardfault CRC32值并不存在 所以测试这个程序需要单独下载包含所有的srec文件或者bin文件，而不是默认的afx文件。      

1    introduction The doc demonstrates how to use MRT(Multi-rate Timer) module to implement the delay function, the delay time is programmable. The MRT has a One-shot stall mode, with the mode, while the MRT channel counter counts down, the core stalls until the MRT channel counter reaches to zero. After the MRT channel counter reaches to zero, the MRT channel becomes idle, the core continues to work.   2 delay function description Sometimes, it is expected that there is a programmable delay between two instructions, for example Instruction 1 Delay Instruction 2 In general, the delay function can be implemented by forcing the core to execute __asm(“NOP”) instructions This code is like: Void delay(uint32_t interval) {        Uint32_t counter;        Counter=ConvertTimeToCounter(interval);        For(uint32_t i=0; i<counter); i++)        {        __asm(“nop”)        } }   The macro convertTimeToCounter is used to convert a time to a number of loop   1.   MRT feature The MRT module of LPC family provides a unique feature called One-shot stall mode, because the test is based on LPC55S69-EVK board, so I referred to the section 27.5.3 One-shot stall mode in UM11126.pdf. The MRT does not have external pad.   One-shot stall mode: Bus stall mode can be used when a short delay is need between two software controlled events, or when a delay is expected before software can continue. Since in this mode there are no bus transactions while the MRT is counting down, the CPU core stalls, consumes a minimum amount of power during that time until the MRT counter reaches to zero. Therefore the One-shot stall mode of MRT can make core stall during the MRT counting down process, the delay function can be implemented.   3 MRT clock source and delay time For the LPC55S69, the clock source of MRT module is the AHB Bus clock, which is the same as the core clock. For the LPC55S69 example, there is the code to set up the core clock void BOARD_InitBootClocks(void) {     BOARD_BootClockPLL150M(); } So the  MRT clock frequency is 150MHz.       The delay time is a time, but the MRT is a counter, so the delay time must be converted to the counter value. The counter value is dependent on the MRT clock frequency. The MRT clock source is AHB bus clock, or the core clock. The LPC55S69 core clock frequency is 150Mhz, so we can define #define MRT_CLOCK_FREQUENCY 150MHz If the required delay time is delay_time variable in second unit, the required MRT counter value is   MRT counter value=delay_time/(MRT clock cycle time)=delay_time* MRT_CLOCK_FREQUENCY.   For example, assume the required delay_time is 1mS or 1*10**(-3)  Second, the corresponding counter value is 1*(10**-3)*150*(10**6)=150 000   The MRT delay time restriction. The MRT counter register is 24 bits, the maximum counter value is 2**24= 16,777,216, the maximum delay time is 16777216/(150*10**6)=0.111848 S or 111 mS.     3 source code description MRT delay function source code is based on SDK package SDK_2_11_1_LPCXpresso55S69.zip, the tools is MCUXpresso IDE v11.5.0. The example is run on LPC55S69-EVK The example uses MRT to delay 100mS(0.1 Second), after the delay, a LED is toggled The MRT counter value is 0.1S*150*(10**6)=15 000 000   For the mrt_init() api function, it initializes the MRT and set the MRT channel0 in OneShotStall mode. Once the core executes the line MRT_StartTimer(MRT0, kMRT_Channel_0, 15000000); the MRT channel0 counter will count down from 15000000, during the counting process the Cortex-M33 will stall. After the counter reach to ZERO, the core finishes the stalling mode and continues to execute the next line, the MRT channel0 counter will be in idle mode.       /**  * @file    LPC55S69_Project_mrt_stall.c  * @brief   Application entry point.  */ #include <stdio.h> #include "board.h" #include "peripherals.h" #include "pin_mux.h" #include "clock_config.h" #include "LPC55S69_cm33_core0.h" #include "fsl_debug_console.h" #include "fsl_mrt.h" #include "fsl_iocon.h"   /* TODO: insert other include files here. */ #define BOARD_LED_PORT BOARD_LED_BLUE_GPIO_PORT #define BOARD_LED_PIN  BOARD_LED_BLUE_GPIO_PIN /* TODO: insert other definitions and declarations here. */ void mrt_init(void); /*  * @brief   Application entry point.  */ int main(void) {       /* Init board hardware. */     BOARD_InitBootPins();     BOARD_InitBootClocks();     BOARD_InitBootPeripherals(); #ifndef BOARD_INIT_DEBUG_CONSOLE_PERIPHERAL     /* Init FSL debug console. */     BOARD_InitDebugConsole(); #endif     mrt_init();     PRINTF("Hello World\n");     for(;;)     {     MRT_StartTimer(MRT0, kMRT_Channel_0, 15000000);     GPIO_PortToggle(GPIO, BOARD_LED_PORT, 1u << BOARD_LED_PIN);     __asm("nop");       }     /* Force the counter to be placed into memory. */     volatile static int i = 0 ;     /* Enter an infinite loop, just incrementing a counter. */     while(1) {         i++ ;         /* 'Dummy' NOP to allow source level single stepping of             tight while() loop */         __asm volatile ("nop");     }     return 0 ; }   uint32_t mrt_clock; mrt_config_t mrtConfig; void mrt_init(void) {           /* mrtConfig.enableMultiTask = false; */         MRT_GetDefaultConfig(&mrtConfig);           /* Init mrt module */         MRT_Init(MRT0, &mrtConfig);           /* Setup Channel 0 to be repeated */         MRT_SetupChannelMode(MRT0, kMRT_Channel_0, kMRT_OneShotStallMode);           //MRT_StartTimer(MRT0, kMRT_Channel_0,  15000000);   }       }                                                                                                              When the above code is running, user can see the blue LED toggles on the LPC55S69-EVK board. Connecting the PIO1_4 pin signal ( the pin 5 of P18 connector) on LPC55S69-EVK, the PIO1_4 signal toggling frequency is 5Hz, the cycle time is 200mS, so the delay is 100mS.      

For the LPC8xx family, the peripheral module input or output signals are not connected to external pads fixedly as most processor does . With SWM module, the peripheral module input or output signals can be routed to any external GPIO pins via software configuration There is special requirement that one peripheral output signal functions as the input signal of another peripheral, in the case, the peripheral output signal and the peripheral input signal can be routed to the same pad via SWM so that the input and output signals are connected internally without external cable. The LPC802 has ACOMP module, CTimer module and SWM module, per customer requirement, the ACOMP output signal and CTimer0 capture 0 input signal can be routed to the same GPIO pin without external connection so that the ACOMP output signal can trigger CTimer0 capture 0 event internally. In the doc, I give the code to configure the CTimer, ACOMP and the SWM, explain the configuration,introduce the tools, board and result.
