Problem at power up

Hi all!
I'm having a problem with power on LPCXpresso board.
I flash the code for and LCD and it runs OK but if remove USB cable, the LCD doesn't works again.
After flashing, I can reset with P0_0 and LCD works fine. The problem is when remove USB.

I'm using next pins for LCD communication:
P0_6, P0_10, P1_13, P1_14, P1_15 and control LCD power with P0_20.

I think is better view that with a video:

IT WORKS!!! :O

I've been using some pins with SWD functions... the problems was not to inicialize them correctly. Just add this lines at the start of the program:

    Chip_IOCON_PinMux(LPC_IOCON, 0, 20, IOCON_MODE_INACT, FUNC0 );
    Chip_IOCON_PinMux(LPC_IOCON, 0, 6, IOCON_MODE_INACT, FUNC0 );
    Chip_IOCON_PinMux(LPC_IOCON, 0, 10, IOCON_MODE_INACT, FUNC1 );
    Chip_IOCON_PinMux(LPC_IOCON, 1, 13, IOCON_MODE_INACT, FUNC0 );
    Chip_IOCON_PinMux(LPC_IOCON, 1, 14, IOCON_MODE_INACT, FUNC0 );
    Chip_IOCON_PinMux(LPC_IOCON, 1, 15, IOCON_MODE_INACT, FUNC0 );

A simply rookie mistake 8-)

My bad. Did sound similar to many crossworks' users issues with start up without the debugger. (I use standalone LPCs and LPCXpresso boards with CW).

The only power on issue I have had using lpcxpresso and the LPCXresso1347 was (i think) accidentally holding PIO0_1 low during reset.

Some displays are finicky about timing during the start up sequence. Maybe the debugger adds some inadvertent delay that works to your benefit and then is not there without the debugger.

Probably best advice I can give you is not to listen to my advice...

No, I'm using a LPCXpresso 1347 board: https://youtu.be/GXMBkYlaYGc

Try adding this preprocessor definition if you don't already have it.
STARTUP_FROM_RESET

:quest:

Are we talking about Crossworks ?

Thanks for your answers, guys!

I think isn't a configuration problem because I just make this test:
- Program the LPC -> LCD works
- Disconnect all pins of the LCD, including VCC. Then connect them again. After that, do a reset -> LCD works

The problem is:
- Program the LPC -> LCD is working
- Disconnect USB cable from debugger side. Then connect it again -> LCD doens't works. Do a reset, LCD still not working.

So, what's the difference between start the program with USB power from debugger side and power it from external power supply? :~

In the datasheet is mentioned that after releasing the reset state you should wait till the reset circuit finished (<1ms). So after releasing the reset line of the display you should wait 1ms before sending commands to the display.
Furthermore the display provides also a busy bit (The busyflag is outputted to D7 pin with the read instruction)
This flag should be checked while initialising the lcd. Some commands need time to complete.

Please confirm that you complied with these timings.

Hi all!
I'd tried with 470uF capacitor but the problem persist.

That's usually a software problem, as Serge already told you ;-)

So check your Initialization code (especially /RES timing)...

The LCD is a ST7565 chip based: http://www.lcd-module.de/eng/pdf/zubehoer/st7565r.pdf
I configure pins as OUTPUT, then put them LOW and then enable LCD power. What datasheet says.

Could it be that your display is still doing its internal reset while your board is already sending commands?
Do you respect power up sequence for your display?
Does your display has a busy bit? do you read it in your code?
Because the difference between first flashing (display has more time to startup) and immediatly starting with a power up can almost only be a timing issue.

I don't know if this is realy the case. To be sure i need to see the datasheet of the display.

Hi,
please do recheck the complete power supply for your project, and ensure that your PCB is completely supplied by an indepenent power supply and not influenced by a powerloss at USB. Maybe some 100 µF as supply-buffer would help.
