If you accidentally erase the kickstart or S1L boot loaders on the Embedded Artists LPC3250 board, this procedure can be used to restore them. Note the boot loaders provided in this restoration method might be newer than the versions provided with the Embedded Artists board. The original versions of the boot loaders can also be downloaded from the Embedded Artists 's website when you register your board.   Restoration of the boot loaders on the board require no special hardware (ie, JTAG) and are performed with boot loaders and tools built or included in the LPC32x0 Common Driver Library. However, you will need a PC with a USB port to perform the update procedure.   Restoring the kickstart loader and is a 2-step process. The kickstart loader is restored first and then is restored. The serial loader is used to transfer the application and the burner images (which is used to program the application into NAND FLASH). The LPC32x0 will automatically burn the image into NAND FLASH after it has been downloaded and then provide a status.   Step 1: Download the pre-built boot software and restoration images for the Embedded Artists LPC3250 board from the Resources page. Step 2: Extract the files on a Windows based PC Step 3: Connect a USB cable between the Embedded Artists boards USB serial connector and the PC. Power up the board and install and USB serial drivers if necessary. These drivers are included with the software included with the board. Step 4: Start the Serial loader software (LPC3250_Loader.exe) included in the pre-built boot software package. Step 5: Setup the 'Primary boot (IRAM)' file in the Serial loader to the burner_kickstart_nand_large_block_rvw.bin file. Setup the 'Secondary Executable (SDRAM)' file in the Serial loader to the kickstart_nand_large_block_rvw.bin file. Verify that the Comport control selection matches the COM part on the PC that is connected to the Embedded Artists board.   NOTE: The pre-built binaries may have slightly different names than those listed in steps 5 and 7, depending on the tool used to build the binaries. If the binaries were build with GNU instead of Realview, the 'rvw' field in each name will contain the 'gnu' identified instead. Change the filenames as necessary for you binaries you have.   Step 6: Press the 'Load bin's / Start primary' button on the Serial loader and power on the board. The burner image and the kickstart loader image should transfer to the board and the kickstart loader will then be programmed into NAND FLASH block 0 for boot from the boot ROM by the burner application. After the files have transferred, press the 'Enable terminal mode' button to see the program status. In the Status / Terminal output window of the Serial loader tool, you should see the following output. Waiting for BootID .. 5 .. found! Sending 'A' .. done! Expect 2-nd BootId .. 5 .. found! Sending 'U','3'.. done! Expect 'R' .. R .. found! Sending startaddress .. done! Sending size .. done! Sending code .. done! --- Loading Secondary executable --- Wait for 'X' ..

Expect final 't' .. t .. found, ---- Secondary Executable loaded. --- --- Enabling terminal mode --- Formatting blocks... Format complete Writting kickstart into flash... Verifing data......Successfully NAND flash is programmed Successfully     Step 7: Setup the 'Primary boot (IRAM)' file in the Serial loader to the burner_s1app_nand_large_block_rvw.bin file. Setup the 'Secondary Executable (SDRAM)' file in the Serial loader to the s1l_from_kick_rvw.bin file. Verify that the Comport control selection matches the COM part on the PC that is connected to the Embedded Artists board.   Step 8: Press the 'Load bin's / Start primary' button on the Serial loader and reset the board. The burner image and the image should transfer to the board and will then be programmed into NAND FLASH block 1 (and on) for boot from the kickstart loader. After the files have transferred, press the 'Enable terminal mode' button to see the program status. In the Status Terminal output window of the Serial loader tool, you should see the following output.     Waiting for BootID .. 5 .. found! Sending 'A' .. done! Expect 2-nd BootId .. 5 .. found!

If you already have S1L on your FDI board, you can update to a previous or later version of S1L with the following procedure. This procedure should not be used to update the kickstart loader in block 0. Step 1: Boot the system to the S1L prompt. Have your updated version of S1L ready. Step 2: At the S1L prompt, type 'load term raw 0x90000000' to start the binary receive in S1L of the new image. On your terminal program, send the S1L file (ie, s1l_from_kick_gnu.bin) to the board as a binary file. Step 3: Once transfer completes, send a break to the board to return to the prompt. In TeraTerm, a break can be sent from the Control menu or by pressing ALT-B. Step 4: Erase the blocks in FLASH used for S1L storage. These are blocks 1 to 24. Be very careful not to erase block 0, which is used for the klickstart loader. The 'erase 1 24' command can be used to erase the blocks. Step 5: Write the loaded S1L image into the S1L area starting at block 1. The S1L image is usually between 56K and 80K, so it will easily fit in 1 block. The command 'write 0x90000000 64 64' will perform this operation. The write command take sectors (not blocks) - sector 64 is where block 1 starts. Step 6: Reset the board to verify the S1L image has been updated. The entire sequence is shown below. You can see a different version of S1L is running by examining the build date of S1L when it boots. FDI3250 Kickstart v1.00 NAND Flash Initialized Running Stage 1 Loader ... Future Designs, Inc.

These instructions explain how to use the CodeSourcery GNU tools to build a LWIP project and variant. GNU builds are based on the free CodeSourcery Codebench Lite version. Download the CodeSourcery Lite GNU tools Prior to building the code, you'll need to CodeSourcery GNU tools. These can be download from Mentor Graphics. There are multiple versions of the tools that can be download. Make sure you download the EABI version of the tools with CodeBench. These will be identified similar to "Sourcery CodeBench Lite 2011.09-69 for ARM EABI". The IA32 Windows Installer version was used to generate the projects included in the LWIP packages. After the tools are downloaded, install the tools onto your build machine. Build system and source code modifications Before you can build the projects, a few manual modifications of the source code and a few make related files are needed. lpc177x_8x_emac.c Locate the lpc177x_8x_emac.c and open it for editing. Wrap "#if 0/#endif" clauses around the ENET_IRQHandler function. This will prevent build problems when using the interrupt handler of the same name as part of the LWIP driver. makeconfig Locate the makeconfig file in the makesection folder.If needed, change the path and version number to what's been installed for your host machine. #GNU_INSTALL_ROOT    =C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeSourcery/Sourcery G++ Lite GNU_INSTALL_ROOT    =C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeSourcery/Sourcery_CodeBench_Lite_for_ARM_EABI GNU_VERSION               =4.3.3 make.LPC177x_8x.gnu Locate the make.LPC177x_8x.gnu file in the makesection/LPC177x_8x folder. Make changes as needed to this file for your build. For example, only the changes below were needed. OPTIM            = s CC                 = $(GNUTOOLS)/arm-none-eabi-gcc #CC               = $(GNUTOOLS)/arm-none-eabi-gcc-$(GNU_VERSION) Build procedure Add make tools to system environment path Once the changes have been made, open up a CMD (cmd.exe) shell for your Windows host machine. In the shell, switch to the directory with the example project (ie, ea1788_tcpecho_sa) and then into the gnu subfolder in that project. Run theaddtoolpath.bat script to add the tools path to your shell's environment.

A simple programming API is available that allows custom development of programming algorithms for different memory types such as NOR or NAND FLASH or EEPROM based memory. By mixing programming algorithms and different program images as different steps with the DFUSec tool, a single programming sequence could program all non-volatile memories and memory regions in a single DFUSec programming cycle via USB! This section explains the process of creating a new programming algorithm. Programming algorithm creation process A programming algorithm is an executable program that runs on the target hardware and is download via DFUSec to the board using the LPC18xx/43xx's DFU boot capability. Each programming algorithm has unqiue code for handling the memory it will program. To create a new programming algorithm requires the following steps: Download the DFUSec programming API examples (here). This provides the DFU streaming code that calls the programming API, several reference drivers (emulated IRAM, internal FLASH, SPI FLASH), and several projects to build an executable programming algorithm image. The examples require the LPC18xx CMSIS library attahced below. Although the example builds inside the LPC18xx CMSIS source tree, the generated binaries should executed on the LPC43xx device (as it's using the M3 instruction set) with common peripherals. Write a new driver for the new memory type with the supported API functions Compile the driver with the DFU streaming code to get a programming algorithm executable in binary form Using the DFUSec RAW/HDR mode tab, generate a binary with a header attached to it Programming API functions The dfusec_programming_api.h header file contains the function prototypes and shared data structures that must be developed for the DFU streamer code driver. The driver requires one global function that initializes the non-volatile memory interface and device and prepares the data structure that defines the non-volatile's devices memory regions and callback functions. The structure provides five additional functions (via indirect calls) that handle region erase, full erase, program, verify, and address check.Not all of these functions are required to do something. Programming API - algo_flash_init() function The first function that needs to be provided is the algo_flash_init() function. This function is called by the DFU streamer to initialize the non-volatile memory device, return the pointer and size of the DFU streaming buffer, and return the FLASH configuration structure and callbacks.The function has the following prototype:/* Initializes device programming capability */ DFUPROG_REGION_T *algo_flash_init(void **buffer, int32_t *buffer_size); style="color:rgb(100, 100, 100);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:12px" The buffer size must be a multiple of 64 bytes (DFU max packet size) typedef struct {     int32_t num_regions; /* Number of program regions on the device */     /* Buffer should be 32-bit aligned */     void *buffer;     /* This must be a minimum of 64 bytes or DFU max packet size and must        be a factor (1x, 2x, 3x, etc.) of max packets size */     uint32_t buffer_size;     const PROGALGOS_T *pprogalgos;     const DFUPROG_REGZONE_T *pregions; /* Address and region size array */ } DFUPROG_REGION_T; /* Function pointer types and function array */ typedef int32_t (* progalgo_flash_erase_region) (uint32_t, uint32_t); typedef int32_t (* progalgo_flash_erase_all) (void); typedef int32_t (* progalgo_flash_write) (uint32_t, uint32_t); typedef int32_t (* progalgo_flash_verify) (uint32_t, uint32_t, uint32_t); typedef int32_t (* progalgo_verify_range) (uint32_t, uint32_t); typedef struct {     progalgo_flash_erase_region erase_region;     progalgo_flash_erase_all    erase_all;     progalgo_flash_write        write;     progalgo_flash_verify       verify;     progalgo_verify_range       vrange; } PROGALGOS_T; Shared DFU streamer programming info structure /* Programming info received from DFUSec for a specific step */ #define DFUPROG_VALIDVAL 0xDB001843 typedef struct {     int32_t stepnum;         /* Step number, 0 - 9 */     uint32_t imagesize;      /* Size of image in bytes */     uint32_t address;        /* Address to start programming of image or start of erase */     int32_t regionsize;      /* Size of region to erase for 'eraseregion' */     int32_t eraseregion;     /* Erase region flag, will erase region if !0 */     int32_t erasefulldevice; /* Erase full device if !0 */     int32_t parameter;       /* Optional parameter value */     uint32_t validatetag;    /* Must be value of DFUPROG_VALIDVAL */ } DFUSEC_PROGINFO_T; extern DFUSEC_PROGINFO_T dfusec_proginfo; Building the programming algorithm The currently available pre-configured projects for building the programming algorithms are only available for the Keil uVision4 toolchain. To build the project with your driver, open one of the pre-configured projects and replace the file under the DFUSec_programming_algorithm group with the new driver. Click build to compile and link the image. The final result of the build cycle will be a binary image with a .bin extension.

The DFUSec tool cannot boot the binary directly and requires this header. To generate the header, run the DFUSec tool and click on the HDR/RAW modes tab. For the binary box, select the .bin file to create the header for. Then click the "Generate binary file with header" button to generate a new file. A new file will be created in the same directory as the .bin file with the .hdr extension. This .hdr file is you programming algorithm file that should be used with the Algo box in the Program mode tab with DFUSec.

    The LPC11U6x USB to I2C Bridge project utilizes NXP’s USB Serial I/O (LPCUSBSIO) library to demonstrate the I2C sensor control via the full speed USB functionality on LPC11U6x. The project is implemented on the LPC11U6x LPCXpresso board as well as the LPC11U68 Development Board. The firmware packages include USB HID and I2C drivers and are implemented with Keil, IAR and LPCXpresso three IDEs . All packages are built with LPCOpen structure and are available for download from the links provided at the end of this project page. Within the Keil and IAR Manley board packages there are two demos. The LCD demo will require a Keil/IAR official license to build. In addition, to use the LPCXpresso IDE, user need to use the latest LPCXpresso IDE 6.1.4 avaialble from down load at the link below. Instructions on how to build and use the LPCXpresso package can be found from this link. A windows based GUI is provided to demonstrate the functionality of the USB to I2C bridging functionality utilizing the NXP LPCUSBSIO library. The LPC11U68 DevelopmentBoard and LPCXpresso board enumerate as HID devices on the windows PC. The GUI program talks to LPC11U6x through USB HID device class protocol. Upon start, this window side application automatically scans the I2C devices found on the hardware. On the Manley board, this GUI can monitor the on board I2C temperature sensor. When demonstrating this implementation with the LPC11U6x LPCXpresso board, the EA LPCXpresso base board should be connected for richer user experience. When the EA LPCXpresso base board exists, this GUI application can control the LEDs on the LPCXpresso base board via the I2C Expander PCA9532 on board. The binary of the GUI application is available for download at the end of this project page. NXP will publish the source code of this application in the next couple weeks.

Introduction The LPC USB serial I/O (LPCUSBSIO) is a generic API provided to PC applications programmer to develop applications to communicate with serial I/O devices connected to LPC micro-controller. LPCUSBIO library converts all API calls into USB messages which are transferred to LPC micro-controller, which in turn communicates with serial devices using I2C, SPI and GPIO interfaces. To make the USB device install free on host systems LPCUSBSIO uses USB-HID class as transport mechanism. HID class is natively supported by most commercially available host operating systems.    Architecture The framework uses HID_API , a multi-platform library which allows an application to interface with USB HID-Class devices on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The following figure shows how the components of the system are typically organized. The PC/Host may be desktop/laptop machine or an embedded system. The LPC micro-controller and the I2C device would usually be on the same PCB. The LPC micro-controller will operate in I2C master mode. All the I2C device connected to the bus should have unique address on bus. I2C devices that support configurable addresses will have pins which can be hard-wired to give a device an appropriate address; this information may be found in the datasheet of the I2C device chip.

These examples show several possible uses for the DFUSec programming feature of the tool. LPC1857 single bootable image programmed in internal FLASH This example shows how to burn a snigle bootanle image into internal FLASH. When booting from internal FLASH, the boot address is 0x1A000000. The image has been linked for this address with data in IRAM. This operation requires a simple 1-step programming sequence. The operation will do the following: Erase just the area of internal FLASH dedicated to the bootable image (we'll use 64K starting at address 0x1A000000) Program the image (up to 64K) into address 0x1A000000 DFUSec configuration The image below shows the DFUSec configuration and a successful program cycle. This uses the LPC18xx/43xx internal FLASH programming algorithm. The 2nd file box contains the path/filename to the image file to program. The image file already includes the checksum and CRP. The address (0x1A000000) and size (0x10000) designate the erase region, program address, and maximum program size. Since the 'Erase region before programming' option is selected, the FLASH at address 0x1A000000-0x1A00FFFF will be erased prior to programming. After rease completes, the image will be sent to the board (in small chunks) and programmed into FLASH. If the image exceeds 64K (specified by the same size parameter used for region erase), an error will be generated, even if FLASH extended beyond the 64K limit specified. LPC1857 multiple images in internal FLASH This example shows how to burn multiple images into different location in internal FLASH. Although this example is shown using the Keil MCB1857 board, the example can easily be used to separately program (or update) M0 and M4 images into different location in internal FLASH for the LPC4350 dual core device! Either image can be updated later without erasing the entire device or the other image. This operation requires a 2-step programming sequence. Step 1 will erase the entire device and program image_1 into bank A. Step 2 will program image_2 into bank B. Optionally, with step 2, we can program image_2 into another area of bank A if needed. Step 1 DFUSec configuration The internal FLASH programming algorithm is used with the image_1.bin program file. Step 1 will erase the entire device (both bank A and B) before programming. Then image_1 will be placed at the bootup address (0x1A000000). We'll limit the image size to a maximum of 128K for programming. The configuration is show below: Step 2 DFUSec configuration The internal FLASH programming algorithm is used with the image_2.bin program file. Step 2 will place image_2 at the 2nd bank address (0x1B000000). We'll limit the image size to a maximum of 16K for programming. The configuration is show below: Screenshot of the completed DFUSec 2-step program operation

The LPC1500 microcontroller series are optimized for fast, easy, and high-precision motor control. Incorporating all the features required for high-accuracy sensored and sensorless motor control, the LPC1500 enables simultaneous control of multiple motors in highly flexible configurations. Based on the ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor, the LPC1500 series has two 12-bit, 12-channel, 2 Msps ADCs and an on-chip quadrature encoder interface (QEI) to enable highly accurate control of both sensored and sensorless motor combinations. With four on-chip comparators enable fast-response over-current/voltage monitoring and protection and four flexible SCTimer/PWM timers to provide up to 28 PWM channels in a tightly coupled analog and timing subsystem with minimal load on the CPU, the LPC1500 are ideal for use with a wide range of brushless DC (BLDC) motors, permanent-magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), and AC induction motors (ACIM) commonly found in products such as large home appliances, HVAC, industrial pumps and generators, and more. They are also well suited for industrial applications requiring high-precision data sampling and real-time control, such as digital power and instrumentation. The LPC1500 microcontrollers are fully supported by the LPC software ecosystem and an extensive collection of tools, drivers and middleware. With ultra-efficient motor control firmware, easy-to-use GUI-based tuning tools, and two new motor control solution kits, NXP's LPC1500 microcontrollers simplify evaluation and development of motor control applications, without requiring deep motor control experience.   Features of LPC1500 : 72 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor Upto 256 kB on-chip flash programming memory Upto 36 kB SRAM 4kB EEPROM Memory Protection Unit(MPU) USB/SPI/I2C drivers DMA drivers C-CAN drivers Four SCTimers/PWM Two 12-bit ADC and One 12-bit DAC   Brushless DC Motor (BLDC) Solution The LPC1549 Brushless DC motor control solution helps you get started with motor control protoyping immediately.  It utilizes the SCTimer/PWM available on the LPC1549 MCU for the motor operation.The SCTimer/PWM combines the features of a timer and a state machine making possible to develop sophisticated solutions in the digital control field. The project is implemented on the LPC1549 BLDC Motor Control Kit, which includes an LPC1549 LPCXpresso board. The joystick present on the motor control kit is used to control the speed and direction of the motor. It is possible to define a more complex sequence of events, having the SCTimer/PWM evolve autonomously through the state machine over time, in response to the time-based or I/O defined events. This typically implies that less CPU interventions are needed, since the SCTimer/PWM is able to handle most of the control sequence in hardware. Using the SCTimer/PWM also reduces the code size. The firmware package contains the project implemented in Keil IDE. The package also contains an application note which decribes the motor control operation using the SCTimer/PWM in detail.     Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) Control Solution The LPC1549 PMSM motor control solution provides a Field-Oriented Control (FOC) example to get you started with motor control prototyping. This example utilizes the QEI feature on the LPC1500 to monitor the position and velocity of the motor for both sensor and sensorless modes. The additional advanced features of the LPC1500 including the SCTimer/PWM and high speed ADC ensures easy and reliable control of time critical peripherals, and a mechanism for sychronization of the ADC's with the PWM for exact timing of the sample moments. FOC is a more advanced approach where each phase is driven sinusoidally and permanently powered so the magnetic field inside the motor is regulated to the most optimal value.  The project is implemented on the LPC1549 PMSM Motor Control Kit, which includes an LPC1549 LPCXpresso board. The firmware package contains the project implemented in IAR IDE. The package also contains an application note which decribes the motor control operation using the QEI and SCTimer/PWM in detail. This solution also comes with a GUI interface, which is developed to tune motor parameters in FOC firmware.                                           FOC Control Block Diagram                                                      GUI Interface   Motor Control Solution Overview Video Useful Links : LPC1500 MCU Product Pages LPC1549 LPCXpresso Board LPC1549 BLDC Motor Control Kit  (OM13068) LPC1549 PMSM Motor Control Kit (OM13067) LPC1500 Datasheet LPC1500 User Manual

To use SWIM in Linux, SWIM must have direct access to the frame buffer memory in Linux. This can be done by accessing the /dev/fb device and mapping virtual memory to the device that SWMO will be used. The basic code snippet below shows how to do it. #define XSIZE 240 #define YSIZE 320 int fbdev; Uint16 *fb; /* Assumes frame buffer is 16-bit data */ /* Open frame buffer device */ fbdev = open("/dev/fb0", O_RDWR); /* Get mmap'd pointer to frame buffer */ fb = (Uint16 *) mmap(0, XSIZE * YSIZE * sizeof(Uint16), PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fbdev, 0); After this code is executed, the variable 'fb' will point to a usable frame buffer in memory that can be directly written to and read from in the Linux application. The next step is to initialize the SWIM window for the size of the display. SWIM_WINDOW_T win1; /* Create window with black background and no border */ if (swim_window_open(&win1, XSIZE, YSIZE, fb, 0, 0, XSIZE - 1, YSIZE - 1, 0, WHITE, BLACK, WHITE) == 0) { fprintf(stderr, "Error opening chat window\n"); close (fbdev); return -1; } /* select the font to use */ swim_set_font(&win1, (FONT_T *)&font_winfreesys14x16 ); /* set the pen color to use */ swim_set_pen_color(&win1, WHITE); A title bar can be easily added to the window. swim_set_title(&s1, "SWIM window demo", LIGHTGRAY); All objects in the window are drawn using logical window coordinates. Positions for pixels/lines and text are independent of each other, so you can draw some text, then do a line, and then if you draw text again, it will place the next where the previous text output ended before the line was drawn. /* Draw a simple box */ swim_put_line(&win1, 10, 10, 50, 10); swim_put_line(&win1, 50, 10, 50, 50); swim_put_line(&win1, 50, 50, 10, 50); swim_put_line(&win1, 10, 50, 10, 10); With Linux, finish the application by closing the frame buffer device. close (fbdev); The SWIM library and application note can be found here.

A block diagram of the dual core IRAM demo is shown below. Per the diagram, FreeRTOS runs on both cores with memory for the M4 core in the first 64K of IRAM. The M0 core uses the 32K of IRAM at offset 64K. The M0 and M4 signal each other via the core interrupt event mechanism. IRAM at address 0x10080000 is used for the shared memory queue. The tri-color LED is used to indicate lfe on a specific core. The red LED will blink when the M4 core is running, while the blue LED will blink when the M0 core is running. The green LED will blink at a varying rate when the M0 core is running and data has been supplied in the shared memory queue from the M4 core.

This section explains how to use the MLC extractor tool to get an image with interleaved MLC data from NAND FLASH. The MET runs on the target hardware, so the image to be extracted must be placed on the hardware first. There are detailed swrites in the CDL on how to do this, so this won't be covered here. The program assumes UART 5 (the LPC32x0 boot UART) is used as the UART interface. The most common code extracted with this is the kickstart loader in block 0. This loaded is used to boot the LPC32x0 from NAND, setup the system, and then bootstrap the secondary loader in NAND blocks 1 and on. This example is shown on the Phytex LPC3250 board, although ti will work similar on other boards. Setup the serial loader tool to load the "mlcextractor.bin" file to the board via the serial port. M<ake sure the ServiceN pin on the LPC3250 is pulled low to enable UART boot mode. Press the "Load bin's/Start primary" button on the serial loader dialog window. Reset the board and the serial loader tool will transfer the MLC extractor to the target board. After the image is loaded, you will see a messaeg displaying the number of blocks and pages per block in NAND. If a message appears that says the NAND device coudn't be found, then the image needs to be rebuilt with the NAND IDs that match the NAND device on the target board. Close the serial load tool and open a terminal program that supports XMODEM transfer (ie, Teraterm). Press the space bar to get the MET menu. Pressing the keys defined by the menu allows you to change the starting block and number of blocks to extract the data for. Once they are selected, press 'd' and then 'y' to start the xmodem transfer. Next, setup the terminal program for an XMODE_cChecksum receive session. Once started, the interleaved data and ECC codes will be read from the NAND device and transferred to the file via XMODEM. This resulting file can be used for NAND programming.
