LPCXpresso55S69

The LPCXpresso55S69-EVK development board provides the ideal platform for evaluation of and development with the LPC55S6x MCU based on the Arm Cortex-M33 architecture. The board includes a high performance onboard debug probe, audio subsystem and accelerometer, with several options for adding off-the-shelf add-on boards for networking, sensors, displays, and other interfaces.

MCU Features¶

The LPC55S6x MCU family builds on the world’s first general-purpose Cortex-M33 based microcontroller introduced with the LPC5500 series. This high-efficiency family leverages the new Armv8-M architecture to introduce new levels of performance and advanced security capabilities including TrustZone-M and co-processor extensions. The LPC55S6x family enables these co-processors extensions and leverages them to bring significant signal processing efficiency gains from a proprietary DSP accelerator offering a 10x clock cycle reduction. An optional second Cortex-M33 core offers flexibility to balance high performance and power efficiency.

In addition, the LPC55S6x MCU family provides benefits from 40nm NVM based process technology cost advantages, broad scalable packages, and memory options.

Board Features¶

Board Pinout¶

The pinout diagrams below show the expansion interface signals. Arduino UNO shields can be used on these connectors by aligning D15 on the shield and LPCXpresso55S69 board.

Getting Started with Mbed¶

1. Connect your microcontroller to a PC¶

Use the USB lead to connect your Mbed to a PC. The status light will come on, indicating it has power. After a few seconds of activity, the PC will recognise the Mbed Microcontroller as a standard USB drive.

Windows XP example	Mac OS X example

2. Click the PRODINFO.HTM link to get logged in¶

Go to the new USB Drive, and click PRODINFO.HTM to open it in a web browser.

If you do not have an Mbed account, choose "Signup", and create your Mbed Account. Otherwise, log in with your normal username and password.

This will give you access to the website, tools, libraries and documentation.

PC Configuration¶

Your Mbed Microcontroller can appear on your computer as a serial port. On Mac and Linux, this will happen by default. For Windows, you need to install a driver:

From a host PC to communicate with Mbed you will need a terminal application. This allows the Mbed Microcontroller to print to your PC screen, and for you to send characters back to your Mbed.

• Terminals - Using Terminal applications to communicate between the Host PC and the Mbed Micrcontroller

Some terminal programs (e.g. TeraTerm) list the available serial ports by name. However, if you do need to know the identity of the serial port so that you can attach a terminal or an application to it:

	Windows		Mac		Linux
	Find the identity of the COM port by opening ''Device Manager''. To do this navigate ''Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager''.		To find the device name under Mac OS X, use the command ''ls /dev/tty.usbmodem*''		To find the device name under Linux, use the command ''ls /dev/ttyACM*''

Downloading A Program¶

1. Save a program binary (.hex) to the Platform¶

Download the "Hello World!" binary:

• LPCXpresso55S69: HelloWorld_lpcxpresso55S69.hex

Note: the source code for this program will be seen in the next section.

Save the program binary file to your mbed Microcontroller Disk, just like you would with a normal USB disk. The Status LED will flash as the PC writes the file to the Microcontroller disk. The file is now consumed.

2. Press the Reset Button¶

When the Reset Button in pressed, the microcontroller will be reset and the last programmed application will begin to run.

3. Hello World!¶

The Microcontroller is now running the program; flashing LED1 forever! If you reset the Microcontroller, or disconnect and reconnect the power, the program will simply restart.

Open Existing Project¶

1. Install Mbed Command Line Interface (CLI)¶

Follow the url to install and configure Mbed CLI according to your OS:

• https://os.mbed.com/docs/mbed-os/latest/tools/installation-and-setup.html

2. Open a command terminal on your computer¶

On Windows, in the search bar, type 'Command Prompt', or 'cmd'

3. Import and configure the project¶

In the command terminal type

mbed import https://os.mbed.com/teams/NXP/code/example-blinky-lpc55s69/

cd example-blinky-lpc55s69

mbed toolchain GCC_ARM

mbed target LPC55S69_NS

4. Compile the project¶

Type mbed compile

If compilation ends successfully, you will see a path the .hex file that was built.

5. Download the .hex file to the Platform¶

Save the program hex file to your Mbed Microcontroller Disk, just like you would with a normal USB disk. The Status LED will flash as the PC writes the file to the Microcontroller disk.

6. Press the Reset Button¶

When the Reset Button in pressed, the newest program on the Mbed Microcontroller Disk will be loaded in to the Microcontroller FLASH memory. The Status LED will flash as this happens.

7. Run the Program¶

The Microcontroller is now running the program; flashing a user LED forever! If you reset the Microcontroller, or disconnect and reconnect the power, the program will simply restart.
