3. Getting
Started
The firmware for the on-board debug probe and Windows 7/8 driver for the virtual com
(VCOM) port are available from http://nxp.com/demoboard/OM40000 under the Software
and Tools tab (look under “Software” download types). If using Window 7 or 8, you will
need to install the VCOM driver by running the installer program before attempting to use
the board. After downloading and unzipping the package, run the installer program
provided to install the driver (see installation notes included in the package for further
information.)
The LPCXpresso802 board is pre-programmed with a simple demo program (“the Demo”)
to illustrate some features of the board. Connect a micro USB cable from connector J4 to
a host computer or power supply to power up the board and run this program. The Demo
uses the LEDs on the detachable section of the board; the outer ring of the LED “face”
(red LEDs) vary in brightness depending on board temperature (from the LM75 sensor),
and the expression on the LED “mouth” varies with the position of the potentiometer.
The rest of this section describes how to set up your board for use with MCUXpresso IDE
and/or third party tools.
3.1 Using the board with MCUXpresso IDE
Once the board debugger firmware has been installed (as described in
Section 3.1
), to
use the board during a debug session in MCUXpresso IDE, connect to the host computer
then follow the steps below.
Note that MCUXpresso IDE has built-in knowledge of the LPC802 part family, so does not
require any SDK installation steps. Follow the steps below to build and run a simple
example from the LPC802 Code Bundles provided by NXP.
1. Code Bundles for the LPC8xx family are included in the MCUXpresso IDE installation.
These can also be downloaded from nxp.com (in case of any updates between IDE
releases):
http://www.nxp.com/products/software-and-tools/software-development-tools/softwar
e-tools/lpc800-code-bundles:LPC800-Code-Bundles.
2. Open a new workspace in the IDE.
3. In the Quickstart panel of the IDE, click in “Import a new project from the file system”
4. In the “Import project(s) from file system...” dialog box that opens, click “Browse...” in
the Project Archive (from zip) section, and select the LPC802 Code Bundle zip file
from the Code Bundles directory in the MCUXpresso IDE installation (or select a
version downloaded from nxp.com, as described in Step 1 above.) Click “Next >” on
the “Import project(s) from file system...” dialog to continue.
5. You will see several projects listed in the Code Bundle; click “Finish” to import them
all.
6. The dialog box will close, and you will see the imported projects in the Project tab at
the upper left window of the IDE. Click on Example_Multi_Timer_Blinky to select it,
then select Build from the Quickstart panel. You will see the build processing in the
Console window to the right of the Quickstart panel. The projects are set up to include
dependency checking, so the build process will automatically build the utility and
peripheral libraries as well as the example program.
