Page 4: Introduction
2.3 Power Requirements The LPC3180 Demo Board is powered by a wall mounted UL and FCC listed power supply designed for 110VAC outlets. It provides 5V DC at 2.5 Amp. The power connector is a 2.1mm plug with center positive polarity. -
Page 5: Jumpers
Table 2: JTAG Connections 2.6 Serial Connection A serial connection may be made to the LPC3180 board from a host PC by connecting a serial cable from an open COM port on the host PC to connector P1 on the LPC3180 board. -
Page 6: Serial Connection
2. OPTIONAL: Connect GUI board to LPC3180 board by lining up connectors J12 and J13 of the LPC3180 board with connectors J1 and J2 of the GUI board, respectively. Push the boards together until a complete connection is made (see Figure 1). -
Page 7: Software Installation
User’s Manual Software Installation 4.1 Host PC To download images into the LPC3180 board’s NAND flash, the J-Link Commander tool should be used. To install this product, double-click on the “Setup_JLinkARM_V356b.exe” file included in the distribution. After executing the file, the user will be prompted with the install wizard. Click “Next” to advance to the... -
Page 8: Build System
Figure 7: Finish Installation 4.2 Build System To successfully re-build kernel, u-boot, and root filesystem images for the LPC3180 board, a build system must be set up. This requires setting up a proper environment for cross-compiling ARM binaries. Please see www.gnuarm.com for details on how to set up such a system. - Page 9 Linux on the LPC3180. The boot process of the LPC3180 project is broken up into the following general steps: 1. On power-up, the LPC3180 begins booting by reading block 0 from the NAND flash.

Page 10: Boot Process
NXP LPC3180 Demo User’s Manual 5.2 U-Boot U-Boot is another boot loader which is mainly responsible for loading the Linux Kernel. It also provides a number of useful utilities. For example, the auto-boot process can be aborted and a command line system accessed to handle flashing of the NAND, memory testing, and other basic low level features (read/write individual bytes). -
Page 11: U-Boot
Updated software may be downloaded to the LPC3180’s NAND flash memory using a two stage process. First, all images must be transferred via JTAG to the LPC3180’s SDRAM. Next, these images in SDRAM are programmed into NAND flash using a utility within U-Boot. - Page 12 To properly communicate with the board using J-Link Commander, the J-Link-ARM-KS JTAG dongle should be connected to J2 on the LPC3180 Board (see Figure 8). J2 is located between GUI board connectors J12 and J13 on the right-hand side of the LPC3180 board.
- Page 13 NXP LPC3180 Demo User’s Manual Images may be downloaded to the LPC3180 Board’s SDRAM by double-clicking on the “NXP Demo Setup” shortcut file or by entering the following commands manually into the JLink Commander prompt window: loadbin SIBL_208Mhz.bin, 0 setpc 0 speed 4000 // Switch the Thumb ->...

NXP LPC3180 Demo User’s Manual Building Images in Linux The following section explains the direct steps needed to compile the UBT files from their standard sources. 7.1 Building U-Boot Currently, a patch should be applied against the standard u-boot-1.1.1 release. This release can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-1.1.1.tar.bz2. -

Linux Features 8.1 USB Block Device To connect a USB block device such as a USB Flash Drive to the LPC3180 board, simply insert it into connector P2 on the lower-right of the board. As of Rev2, the board now provides USB power to external devices. The following command should be issued to force USB into host mode: echo host >... -
Page 18: Bluetooth
To facilitate driver setup and configuration, a startup script called “startWIFI.sh” is created and placed within the /nv directory on the LPC3180 board. By default, each script is setup to statically assign the IP and MAC addresses of the board according to the serial number on the board. - Page 19 This file contains defines and functional prototypes for all capabilities of the SSD1783U2 controller. LPC3180_GPIO.h ${LINUX}/include/linux This file contains defines for working with the LPC3180 GPIO pins. Makefile ${LINUX}/drivers/video This file has been modified to include framebuffer support directly into the linux kernel.

User’s Manual 9.3 Test LEDs This test verifies functional GPIO pins from the LPC3180 as well as proper operation from the LEDs themselves. After selecting the test, the user may repeatedly press the space key/OK button to light up LED 1, LED 2, or LED 3. The LEDs should follow the pattern 1, 2, 3, and then repeat. -
