Hi all,

It looks like uboot is ok now for lpc1788, and thus will be used to boot an OS I guess.
So, when will uclinux be ready for lpc1788?

Thanks for the related info in advance.

Paul,

Hi. Kent Meyer

1. Your BSP supports the entire periphery of the processor?
I am interested in SSP/SPI, I2C, USB, SD, RTC, WDT, ADC, DAC, CAN in Uboot and Uclinux.
2. Do you provide instructions on how to compile applications without BuildRoot? (for example included in the full uclinux dist /usr)

Hi Paul,

Kent Meyer here, Managing Director at Emcraft.

We do sell an LPC1788 low-cost evaluation board that includes full sources for UBoot, uClinux, Busybox, uClibc, GNU Compiler tools, documentation, schematics, etc.  The board is fairly minimal in that it just provides 10/100 Ethernet, USB power and serial console, and some headers with the remainder of the MCU io.

We also sell a corresponding Linux "BSP" for the more full-features Embedded Artists and Hitex LPC17*, LPC18* and LPC43*.  $99
for the BSP and that includes 6 months of email support.

Below is a YouTube video of Qt running on the LPC1788:

If you go to www.emcraft.com, you can download our user manuals and other documentation that could be a start.  We also host the Linux and uBoot sources on a free Github account, also accessible from our site.

Send me an email through our support channel and I can put you in touch with some universities that are using our hardware for their EECS classes.  a2f-linux-support@emcraft.com

Regards and thanks for helping to educate the next generation of programmers.

Hi,

As a school teacher, the solution
lpc1788 + uClinux + .netmf + sqllite + GUI sounds very promising to be an advanced teaching platform of embedded systems.
And that will make lpc1788 not only suitable for courses/labs about micro-controllers/peripherals (w/o os) but also for  GUI/DB/networking/driver programming (w/ rtos, or uclinux) and hence provides a smooth learning path toward a full-fledged linux system for ARM-based s/w & h/w.

But the problem (or what I'm wondering)is: 1 year (or more) has passed, why NXP (or his 3rd-party) doesn't provide (we are willing to pay) a full-fledged board with a step by step document for lpc1788 about compiling/porting u-boot/uclinux/initramfs/modules/GUI/Qte to promote this chip/solution?

Regards,
Paul,

I have just added a new post showing how to use an SD Card with LPC1788 running uClinux. FAT32, hot-plug, 4MBytes/sec files transfer rate on a FAT32 filesystem.

I think there was an update to that file recently (about 2 weeks ago, if I remember correctly).

There is a version of the uClinux kernel for LPC1788 available from www.emcraft.com at registration.

Hi all;
  Where the patch of uclinux of lpc1788 is download?
  Thanks!

What you refer to is the Cortex-M3 page at the "Linux kernel on ARM" project.

That version of the kernel does provide support for Cortex-M3. In fact I think
this project was the first to port the Linux (uClinux) kernel to Cortex-M3 (well,
not entirely sure about the above comment - there was a kernel patch for
the STmicro's STM32F2 devices, which may have come in even earlier).

So, anyway, this site is where you want to go for the latest and greatest kernel
as far as ARM is concerned. That having been said, I am not sure if that project
has been concentrating on support for Cortex-M3 specifically. Talking about the NXP
Cortex-M devices specifically, last time I looked the Linux ARM kernel didn't
provide support for those devices.

What about Linux-Arm?

http://www.linux-arm.org/LinuxKernel/LinuxM3

What can you say about this product?

uClinux available for LPC1788

Emcraft just finished the initial LPC1788 uClinux port.

We sell the BSP and 6 months of email support for $99.
This is to help us cover the costs of keeping an
engineer dedicated to this effort and to fill out the
supported driver set.

For those willing to wait, we've agreed with NXP to
post all of our work for free on this site starting
March 31.

Please no flames about charging.  We are only hoping
to offset costs for the development and then to have
our engineer available for email support for an
additional 6 months for those who purchased.

Regards,
Kent Meyer

Hi Paul,
We are talking with NXP today in fact about development boards to
support such a uCLinux port.  I'll update this thread with more
details later.

I just met these guys at ARM Tech Con in San Jose last week - http://www.emcraft.com/
They have the uCLinux Kernel running on a SmartFusion Cortex-M3 - might be a good starting point.
