Some customers want to generate CRC checksum during compile project, while the GUN tool chain in MCUXpresso IDE doesn’t include CRC checksum calculation function, so we need  the help of CRC checksum tools. In this article, use SRecord. About detail theoretical knowledge of SRecord, please refer to https://mcuoneclipse.com/2015/04/26/crc-checksum-generation-with-srecord-tools-for-gnu-and-eclipse/ In this thread, mainly describe the steps about how to generate CRC checksum with MCUXpresso IDE post-build, through a hands on.   Environment: LPC54S018 chip MCUXpresso IDE SRecord tool (http://srecord.sourceforge.net/)   Purpose: Generate and place CRC checksum to 0x10000170 of LPC54s018 after compile project. In image header for LPC540xx devices, the offset 0x10 is crc_value, in LPC54s018 , the address is 0x10000170. so we need save CRC checksum value in  this  place.   Steps: Import SDK demo “led_blinky” into MCUXpresso IDE (Just use this demo to demonstrate).   Enable Compute CRC, because there is one bit in Image header for LPC540xx,Just add “ADD_CRC” or “ADD_CRC =1”， build project.     Can check from S19 file: When choose no CRC computation (no defined “ ADD_CRC “ symbol), the data in address 0x0164 bit0 is 1,   When choose compute CRC, the data in address 0x0164 bit0 is 0,        Download SRecord from http://srecord.sourceforge.net/ After download, srec_cat.exe is the main program we used. Place srec_cat.exe utility in a common directory (to reuse it even if you change the project or even the MCUXpresso IDE version). Be sure you add that “common directory” in the PATH environment variable, then be sure the eclipse was restarted to “see” the PATH content.   Create command file crc_add.txt, and place it under" Debug" folder of project. (About detail commands, please refer to SRecord Reference Manual.) # srec_cat command file to add the CRC and produce application file to be flashed # Usage: srec_cat @filename #first: create CRC checksum lpcxpresso54s018m_led_blinky.srec # input file -fill 0xFF 0x10000180 0x10010000 # fill code area with 0xff -crop 0x10000180 0x10010000 # just keep code area for CRC calculation below (CRC will be at 0x1FFFE..0x1FFFF) -CRC16_Big_Endian 0x10000170 -CCITT # calculate big endian CCITT CRC16 at given address. -crop 0x10000170 0x10000172 # keep the CRC itself #second: add application file lpcxpresso54s018m_led_blinky.srec # input file -fill 0xFF 0x10000180 0x10010000 # fill code area with 0xff -crop 0x10000000 0x10000170 0x10000172 0x10010000 #keep all except CRC #finally, produce the output file -Output # produce output lpcxpresso54s018m_led_blinky_crc.srec   Add post-build command to create srecord file with CRC checksum. arm-none-eabi-objcopy -v -O srec "${BuildArtifactFileName}" "${BuildArtifactFileBaseName}.srec" & srec_cat.exe @CRC_add.txt   7） Build project, the .srec with CRC checksum file will under Debug folder:         Pay attention: For the format of image header of LPC540xx devices, we need enable compute CRC and put the CRC value in the specific address. while for other chips, maybe do not need enable, and also can place it in your own address.   Reference: https://mcuoneclipse.com/2015/04/26/crc-checksum-generation-with-srecord-tools-for-gnu-and-eclipse/        

There are two ways to program LPC chips using Flash Magic, ISP mode and  Single Wire Debug (SWD) mode. ISP mode support COM port, USB, CAN and Ethernet. SWD support LINK2(LPC1800/lpc4300) bridge and LPC11u35 bridge. This article uses four demonstrations to show these programming methods.   1.

How to start with SDK v.2.0 for LPC5411x using LPCXpresso IDE This document gives an overview of SDK v.2.0 for LPC5411x and also describes the steps required to build, run, and debug an example application provided in the SDK using LPCXpresso IDE. The steps described in the document are for the LPCXpresso54114 board (OM13089).   SDK for LPC5411x Derivatives Overview   The Software Development Kit (SDK) provides comprehensive software support for Microcontrollers. The SDK includes a flexible set of peripheral drivers designed to speed up and simplify development of embedded applications. Along with the peripheral drivers, the SDK provides an extensive and rich set of example applications covering everything from basic peripheral use case examples to full demo applications. The SDK also contains RTOS kernels and various other middleware to support rapid development on devices. SDK board support provides example applications for development and evaluation boards. Board support packages are found inside of the top level boards folder, and each supported board has its own folder (a SDK package can support multiple boards). Within each <board_name> folder there are various sub-folders to classify the type of examples they contain. These include (but are not limited to): demo_apps: Full-featured applications intended to highlight key functionality and use cases of the target MCU. These applications typically use multiple MCU peripherals and may leverage stacks and middleware. driver_examples: Simple applications intended to concisely illustrate how to use the SDK’s peripheral drivers for a single use case. These applications typically only use a single peripheral, but there are cases where multiple are used (for example, ADC conversion using DMA). rtos_examples: Basic FreeRTOS examples showcasing the use of various RTOS objects (semaphores, queues, and so on) and interfacing with the SDK’s RTOS drivers multicore_examples: Applications for both cores showing the usage of multicore software components and the interaction between cores.   Build, run and debug a SDK example   This section describes the steps required to configure LPCXpresso IDE to build, run, and debug an example application. The hello_world demo application targeted for the LPCXpresso54114 is used as an example, though these steps can be applied to any example application in the SDK.   1. Download and install the latest LPCXpresso version from the next link: http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/software-development-tools/software-tools/lpc-microcontroller-utilities/lpcxpresso-ide-v8.2.2:LPCXPRESSO 2. Follow the steps describe here to download the Software Development Kit (SDK) v2.0 for LPCXpresso54114: Generating a downloadable MCUXpresso SDK v.2 package  3. Select "File -> Import" from the LPCXpresso IDE menu. In the window that appears, expand the "General" folder and select "Existing Projects into Workspace". Then, click the "Next" button.       4. Click the "Browse" button next to the "Import from file:" option, and point to the example application project, which can be found using this path: <install_dir>/boards/<board_name>/<example_type>/<application_name>/lpcx/cm4 For this example, the specific location is: <install_dir_SDK_2.0_LPCXpresso54114>\boards\lpcxpresso54114\demo_apps\hello_world\lpcx\cm4 Then Click the "Finish" button. 5. There are two project configurations (build targets) supported for each SDK project: Debug – Compiler optimization is set to low, and debug information is generated for the executable. This target should be selected for development and debug. Release – Compiler optimization is set to high, and debug information is not generated. This target should be selected for final application deployment. So it is necessary to choose the appropriate build target. For this example, select the "Debug" target.   6. Build the project using the hammer icon. 7. Connect the development platform to your PC via USB cable between the Link2 USB connector (named Link for some boards) and the PC USB connector. If connecting for the first time, allow some seconds for the devices to enumerate.   8. In the Windows operating system environment, open the terminal application on the PC and connect to the debug serial port number. For this example it is used Tera Term.   Configure the terminal with these settings: 115200 No parity 8 data bits 1 stop bit    9. In LPCXpresso IDE, click on “Debug Configurations”. In the Debug Configurations dialog box, select the debug configuration that corresponds to the hardware platform you’re using. In this example, select is the CMSIS-DAP option under C/C++ (NXP Semiconductors) MCU Application. 10. After selecting the debugger interface, click the "Debug" button to launch the debugger. 11. Additional dialog windows may appear to select LPC-INK2 CMSIS-DAP emulator and core in case of multicore derivatives. Select it and click the "OK" button. Then select the Cortex-M4. The application is downloaded to the target and automatically run to main():    12. Start the application by clicking the "Resume" button. The hello_world application is now running and a banner is displayed on the terminal.
