Updating LPCXpresso firmware
LPCXpresso range of development boards from NXP which include the LPC-Link 2 interface (based on the LPC432x device) can be firmware updated to include mbed USB disk programming capabilities.
Below is a quick guide to how to carry out this update.
Requirements¶
- A host PC running Windows, MacOS or Linux
- Download and install LPCScrypt https://www.nxp.com/lpcscrypt
Instructions (Windows)¶
Note that for LPCXpresso54114 and LPCXpresso546xx boards there is a 2-step programming process; see Step 4.
1. Fit the jumper labelled "DFU"¶
2. Connect the "link" micro-B connector to the PC¶
3. Run LPCScrypt¶
Open a Command Window, navigate to the LPCScrypt installation (default C:\nxp\LPCScrypt) and go to the scripts sub-directory.
Run the command program_CMSIS.cmd binary_file_name.bin (where "binary_file_name.bin" is the image for the platform being used) ...follow the on-screen instructions. Note that for LPCXpresso54114 and LPCXpresso546xx this is the bootloader binary.
4. Remove the jumper "DFU" and unplug/plug in the LPCXpresso¶
When using LPCXpresso11U68, LPCXpresso4337/4367 and LPCXpresso1549 you should now have an mbed flash disk for drag and drop programming.
5. Extra step when using bootloader binary (e.g LPCXpresso54114)¶
When using the bootloader binary (e.g LPCXpresso54114 and LPCXpresso546xx boards) you will now see a drive named MAINTENANCE. Drag and drop the binary for your chose target onto this drive. The drive will change name to the target board (e.g. LPC54608) and is ready for drag and drop programming.
Binary Downloads¶
- LPCXpresso1549
- LPCXpresso11U68
- LPCXpresso4337 (replaced by LPCXpresso4367)
- Link2 (LPC432x) Bootloader binary
- Use this Bootloader first for boards that require a 2-step update
- Bootloader binary for LPC4322
- LPCXpresso54114
- First program the LPC4322 Bootloader binary provided above
- Then drag and drop the LPCXpresso54114 interface binary
- LPCXpresso546xx
- First program the LPC4322 Bootloader binary provided above
- Then drag and drop the LPCXpresso546XX interface binary
