Now that you've downloaded & unzipped your LPCXpresso54608 SDK, let's open KEIL uVision IDE. Note: you must have at least uVision version 5.22.0.0 to use this board Before we start utilizing uVision we must make sure that we have the relevant packs installed to work with the LPCXpresso54608 board. Select the Pack Installer on the toolbar. The Pack installer shows you which parts and boards for which you have support. On the left hand side you see a variety of different manufacturers. The easiest way to search will be to type 'lpc' into the search right below the devices tab. Then select 'LPC54000 Series'. On the right hand side under the packs tab you will see one item listed under 'Device Specific' called 'Keil::LPC54000_DFP' click on install Note: Version 2.1.0 released on 10-18-2016 added LPC5460x support. If you had downloaded this pack before go to Packs>Check for Updates at the top to download the latest version Once installed the diamond will turn green. To double check we are ready, select boards on the left side and search 'lpcxpresso54'. You will notice that our board is green indicating we have support for it in uVision. Now we can close the Pack Installer to return to uVision Select File>Open and navigate to the location you unzipped your SDK download. By the way, within this folder there are plenty of SDK based demos for you to explore our microcontroller. We will use one of them to guide you through this tutorial, but definitely take time to try all of them! Navigate to boards>lpcxpresso54608>demo_apps>touch_cursor>mdk, change file type to ''Project Files (*.uvproj, *.uvprojx) and select 'touch_cursor' Once opened, select 'Build' right above the Project window. Once the Build Output window tells you that you have successfully built the program select the 'Start/Stop Debug Session' icon. Note: You may receive a warning if you have a size limitation on the license you are using. If you do get a warning you can resolve licensing issues by going to File>License Management. Once the debug session has been started select 'Run' on the left side Once you have successfully flashed the board with this demo you will see the following, This demo utilizes the touch interface on the screen to read where you are touching and updates the cursor position to the last known location. Remember that other demos and sample code are provided in the root folder of the SDK download. Be sure to explore these demos and reach out on the community if you need help!

First, download the LPCXpresso54608 board User Manual. After scanning the document, let's get started! Plug in LPCXpresso54608 (as shown below). You will see the pre-loaded, Out of Box demo, which features Draupner TouchGFX. A screen shot is shown below, Once you've explored the pre-loaded demo, you will likely want to learn more. For this you will need to configure and build an MCUXpresso Software Development Kit (SDK) for your LPCXpresso54608 development board. Register or use your login credentials to sign in and download software from NXP. You can create a configuration for the LPCXpresso54608 in one of two ways: By typing 'LPCXpresso54608' or selecting boards>LPC>LPCXpresso54608 Once you have selected the board you will be presented with two options: 'Select Configuration' or 'Specify Additional Configuration Settings'. (It is recommended that you name the configuration something that specifies the settings as this will help identify multiple configurations.) Note: By default the SDK Builder will choose IAR as the default toolchain for Windows. For this tutorial we will use Windows as our Development Host OS. If this is not the desired toolchain or OS please 'Select 'Specify Additional Configuration Settings' The following window will be presented, which allows you to download an SDK for IAR, Keil or Both (selecting 'All toolchains'.). During this stage, you can also specify any necessary middleware for your download. You can select or deselect these under the 'Select Optional Middleware' Select 'Go to SDK builder' once you have made your choices. Note:You may be prompted to update your info before you are allowed to download the package. If this happens select the link in the red at the top to resolve any issues. Once the information is updated you can click on the 'Overview' at the top and reselect 'SDK Builder' to return to the screen you were on. You have the opportunity to rename your file one last time before you hit download now. Once you select 'Download Now' you will be presented with a license agreement and once agreed to the download will start. Once you have downloaded the packaged .zip use your favorite utility to extract to a known location --> Continue here if IAR is your selected default toolchain. --> Continue here if KEIL is your selected default toolchain. --> Continue here if MCUXpresso is your selected default toolchain (coming March 2017!)

Do you want to know more about one of our hottest products in the LPC800 series portfolio? Take a look at this technical presentation featuring the LPC84x MCU family. Based on the Arm Cortex-M0+ core, the LPC84x Family of MCUs is a low-cost, 32-bit MCU operating at frequencies of up to 30 MHz. The LPC84x MCU family supports of up to 64 KB of flash memory and 16 KB of SRAM. In addition, to make things easier, the LPC800 series McUs are supported by our free example code bundles and now, they're also supported by the MCUXpresso Software Develpment Kit (SDK). Fig 1.

New update to errata will be published regarding the vendor_usage field in the PFR. In ROM, the 16-bit monotonic counter is implemented in the upper 16 bits of the 32-bit VENDOR_USAGE field and the inverse of the monotonic counter is in the lower 16 bits. Users must take care when using the ROM API to increment the upper end of this field and write the inverse on the lower 16 bits in order for ROM to validate the value correctly. The initial value that shall be written is 0x0000FFFF. Then the updates will be as follows: 0x0001FFFE 0x0002FFFD . . 0x0005FFFA . . 0x1010EFEF . . 0xFFFF0000 Example Code using ROM API: *This example demonstrates the increment of the version in CFPA page as well as the vendor usage, it does not cover all use cases, so please use this as a reference only* case APP_INCREASE_VENDOR_USAGE_ONLY: PRINTF("Disable Flash Protect...\r\n"); /* Initialize flash driver */ FLASH_Init(&flashInstance); if (FFR_Init(&flashInstance) == kStatus_Success) { PRINTF("Flash init successfull!!.
