    LPC3180 Carier Board. The phyCORE-LPC3180 Carrier Board contains the I/O connectors as well as any other interface circuitry not provided on the phyCORE module itself. The phyCORE module, combined with the PHYTEC Carrier Board, provides a platform to jump start embedded designs and propel concept to prototype and finished product.

  • Page 6: System Description

    The Segger J-LINK is included in the Rapid Development Kit version with the part number KPCM-031-LINUX. The phyCORE-LPC3180 is a USB OTG enabled device. When operating as an embedded host, an OTG device can only supply up to 8mA of operating current. Most non-OTG enabled USB devices require more than 8mA of operating current so a powered USB hub is typically required to interface USB devices.

  • Page 13: Flashing Images

    Getting Started 3.3 Flashing Images Flashing images on the phyCORE-LPC3180 involves using one or both of the NAND Flash controllers available on the LPC3180. Both the SLC and MLC NAND Flash controllers on the LPC3180 can be used to write to the SLC NAND Flash device populating the phyCORE-LPC3180. Special attention should be paid to which Flash controller is being used when writing to NAND Flash.

  • Page 16: Writing Images To Flash

    QuickStart Instructions 3.3.2 Writing Images to Flash To boot Linux from phyCORE-LPC3180 NAND Flash, four images must be written to the NAND Flash: (1) SIBL, (2) U-Boot, (3) the Linux image, and (4) the Linux file system. The Bootflash utility is used to burn these images to NAND Flash.

  • Page 19 Next the secondary boot loader SIBL must be written to Flash. The load_images script placed this file at the SDRAM address 0x81000000. To write this binary file to Flash, the command nand bwrite must be used. Type the following command at the Bootflash prompt: bootflash $ nand bwrite 0x81000000 0x1400 © PHYTEC Anerica LLC 2007 L-698e_2...
