LPC1768 ARM Cortex M3 Development Board

LPC1768 ARM Cortex M3 Development Board

Blue Board- LPC1768 is an evaluation board for LPC1768 CORTEX M3 based microcontroller. The LPC1768 microcontroller has 512KB of internal flash and 64KB SRAM. Following are the salient features of the board.

• Dimensions: 106 X 108 mm2
• Two layer PCB (FR-4 material)
• Power supply: DC 9V with power LED
• On-board linear regulators generate +3.3V/500mA and +5v/500mA from power supply.
• USB connector (as alternate power source).
• Connectors:

Extension headers for all microcontroller pins. RS232 connectors (2).
PS/2 connector. JTAG connector.
SD/MMC connector.
USB A-Type USB B-Type connector with Link-LED.

• Other Peripherals:
• 2 line X 16 character LCD with back light control.
• Configurable for manual and automatic program download (ISP) via serial port. User Interrupt, ADC, RTC.

2:  System Requirements:

• Windows XP & Win 7
• Serial or Parallel port
• USB port

3: Starting off & connecting the hardware:

After unpacking the LPC1768 board connect a DC supply of 9V/1A to the DC jack to power the board. The LPC1768board can also be powered through USB.

4: Programming LPC1768 Board:

LPC1768 Board can be programmed through serial port UART “0” using “Flash Magic” is a freeware windows utility used to download the hex file format onto the LPC1768 Board. If your PC does not have a serial port; use an original USB to serial converter to download the hex file.

• Programming LPC1768 Board through ISP.

The LPC1768 Board can be programmed through ISP Manual Mode.

To program in Manual mode you need a half serial cable (which just has TX, RX and GND wire connected). And connect the half serial cable to UART0 and power the board.

• Open Flash Magic.
• Select Device as LPC1768
• Select the appropriate com port (See your “device manager” to find out the com port number)
• Select the Baud Rate in between 9600 and 38400
• Interface: (ISP)
• Oscillator (MHz): 12
• Browse File name and Select the hex file to be downloaded.
• Click on Start.

To make the board enter programming mode

• Hold down ISP and RESET Buttons, then release RESET first and finally ISP.
• Click on Start Programming.
• Program uploaded successfully.
• Click the Rest Button on the Board. That’s it, your hex file is on the board.

Package Includes: 1 Piece of LPC1768 ARM Cortex M3 Development Board complete Set with USB to Serial, USB Cable and 9V Power Adapter.
