CHAPTER 2
SETTING UP THE LPC-P1227 BOARD
2. Introduction to the chapter
This section helps you set up the LPC-P1227 development board for the first time.
Please consider first the electrostatic warning to avoid damaging the board, then discover the
hardware and software required to operate the board.
The procedure to power up the board is given, and a description of the default board behavior is
detailed.
2.1 Electrostatic warning
LPC-P1227 is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board must not be exposed to high
electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar protective device should be worn when
handling the board. Avoid touching the component pins or any other metallic element.
2.2 Requirements
In order to set up and program the LPC-P1227, the following items are required:
- A source of power – the board can be powered through the PWR jack or through the SWD-1
(SWD-2) interface
- In order to program the board you will need a programmer that supports SWD (Serial Wire
Debug) interface
Also, a host-based software toolchain is required in order to program/debug the LPC-P1227 board.
There are also a number of ready IDEs available like IAR Embedded Workbench,
Rowley
CrossWorks, Code Composer Studio, etc.
The only low cost Olimex option at the time writing this guide is available if you use Rowley's
Crossworks IDE. You can get any of our ARM-USB deb ARM-JTAG-SWD adapter. As of
moment of writing this guide OpenOCD 0.5.0 doesn't support SWD flashing.
2.3 Powering the board
- Provide between 5V and 9V to the board's PWR jack
