Hi all,

I'm using the DK-57VTS-LPC1788 as a tutorial before I design my own system board, based on the LPC1788, and I was looking for others that are doing the same thing.

Anybody else out there using this processor?

It's a new processor (as of May 2011), but looks like it has a lot of potential.

If there's anyone else looking for technical discussion, I'm open.

Lysle,

I have downloaded this code, and have used is as a reference many, many times during my learning process - Thank you for the software.  It has been an huge help to me.

Although I find it a little under-commented, it certainly made my learning curve a lot steeper than had I started with only a data sheet.

I haven't found any problems with it to date.

Thanks again,

Dave

Dave,

The uEZ code at http://sourceforge.net/projects/uez should contain much of the software you may need for the DK-57VTS-LPC1788.  If you find problems with it (I see you went through EMC initialization in another post), feel free to let us know.

This is what I've heard...

Although, I have it successfully running at 120Mhz... which is 150% faster than this value...

We had a discussion about this on the keil forum ( http://www.keil.com/forum/19185/ ).

and NXP tech support stands by this claim, so my advice is go with what works best for you...

For me, I only have a single piece of hardware right now to test with, so I can't confirm that ALL processors will run faster, just that the one I have currently will...

Seems odd, doesn't it, that even at 150%, it still works fine?

I wish I could talk with the hardware engineers and find out what they have to say...

Hi PSampaio!

I'm using the Keil toolchain, and I've been learning about the processor on the development kit.  I'm just getting started laying out my own board.  I've got fundamental things working like the SDRAM, the LCD controller, the SPI bus (to interface to a SD memory card), I2C, and I just got the Host Lite USB working...

I look forward to talking further with you.

The SDRAM interface runs at a maximum of 80 MHz. This is shown in the timing specs in the Datasheet- minimum clock cycle time is 12.5 ns.<span class="inline inline-left"><img src="http://lpcware.com/sites/default/files/images/Capture.PNG" alt="" title=""  class="image image-_original " width="683" height="145" /></span>

Hi Dave,

I start using the LPC1788 this week.
I do my own board based in another board that I made with the LPC2478.
Now I'm assembly the board, step by step.
I put the debugger running (jtag with openocd, gcc toolchain and eclipse).
At moment my SDRAM works at 60Mhz but I will try 120Mhz.
Now I'm working in lcd controller.
