bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 1 mbed port to NXP LPC43xx
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 2 ========================
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 3 Updated: 06/24/13
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 4
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 5 The NXP LPC43xx microcontrollers are the first to include multiple Cortex-M
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 6 cores in a single microcontroller package. This port allows mbed developers
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 7 to take advantage of the LPC43xx in their application using APIs that they
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 8 are familiar with. Some of the key features of the LPC43xx include:
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 9
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 10 * Dual core ARM Cortex-M4/M0 both capable of up to 204 MHz
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 11 * Up to 264 KB SRAM, 1 MB internal flash
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 12 * Two High-speed USB 2.0 interfaces
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 13 * Ethernet MAC
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 14 * LCD interface
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 15 * Quad-SPI Flash Interface (SPIFI)
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 16 * State Configurable Timer (SCT)
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 17 * Serial GPIO (SGPIO)
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 18 * Up to 164 GPIO
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 19
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 20 The NXP LPC18xx is a single core Cortex-M3 implementation that is compatible
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 21 with the LPC43XX for cost-sensitive applications not requiring multiple cores.

bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 23 mbed port to the LPC43XX - Micromint USA <support@micromint.com>
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 24
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 25 Compatibility
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 26 -------------
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 27 * This port has been tested with the following boards:
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 28 Board MCU RAM/Flash
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 29 Micromint Bambino 200 LPC4330 264K SRAM/4 MB SPIFI flash
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 30
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 31 * Ethernet, USB and microSD filesystem drivers will be available when the
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 32 Bambino 200E is released.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 33
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 34 * This port uses offline toolchains. Development and testing has been done
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 35 mainly with the Keil MDK 4.70. Some testing has been done with IAR 6.5.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 36 Eventually Keil, IAR and GCC CodeRed will be supported.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 37
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 38 * CMSIS-DAP debugging is not currently implemented. To debug use a JTAG.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 39 The NXP DFU tool can be used for flash programming.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 40
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 41 * This port should support NXP LPC43XX and LPC18XX variants with a single
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 42 codebase. The core declaration specifies the binaries to be built:
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 43 mbed define CMSIS define MCU Target
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 44 __CORTEX_M4 CORE_M4 LPC43xx Cortex-M4
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 45 __CORTEX_M0 CORE_M0 LPC43xx Cortex-M0
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 46 __CORTEX_M3 CORE_M3 LPC18xx Cortex-M3
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 47 These MCUs all share the peripheral IP, common driver code is feasible.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 48 Yet each variant can have different memory segments, peripherals, etc.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 49 Plus, each board design can integrate different external peripherals
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 50 or interfaces. A future release of the mbed SDK and its build tools will
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 51 support specifying the target board when building binaries. At this time
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 52 building binaries for different targets requires an external project or
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 53 Makefile.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 54
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 55 * No testing has been done with LPC18xx hardware. At the very least supporting
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 56 the LPC18xx would require different compiler flags, additional CMSIS core_cm3
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 57 code as well as minor driver code changes.

bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 59 Notes
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 60 -----
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 61 * On the LPC43xx the hardware pin name and the GPIO pin name are not the same,
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 62 requiring different offsets for the SCU and GPIO registers. To simplify logic
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 63 the pin identifier encodes the offsets. Macros are used for decoding.
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 64 For example, P6_11 corresponds to GPIO3[7] and is encoded/decoded as follows:
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 65
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 66 P6_11 = MBED_PIN(0x06, 11, 3, 7) = 0x032C0067
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 67
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 68 MBED_SCU_REG(P6_11) = 0x4008632C MBED_GPIO_PORT(P6_11) = 3
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 69 MBED_GPIO_REG(P6_11) = 0x400F4000 MBED_GPIO_PIN(P6_11) = 7
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 70
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 71 * The LPC43xx implements GPIO pin and group interrupts. Any pin in the 8 32-bit
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 72 GPIO ports can interrupt (LPC4350 supports up to 164). On group interrupts a
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 73 pin can only interrupt on the rising or falling edge, not both as required
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 74 by the mbed InterruptIn class. Also, group interrupts can't be cleared
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 75 individually. This implementation uses pin interrupts (8 on M4/M3, 1 on M0).
bogdanm 20:4263a77256ae 76 A future implementation may provide group interrupt support.
