MCB2929
Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide introduces the MCB2929 board
for the LPC2929 microcontroller device from NXP. It
shows how to install the Keil software development tools for
ARM-based devices and run a variety of example projects.
Installing the Software
To install the evaluation version of the Keil Microcontroller
Development Kit (MDK-ARM):
n
Insert the CD-ROM into your PC.
If the opening screen does not appear, run SETUP from the
CD root directory:
Click Install Evaluation Software, then select ARM
n
Development Tools
Follow the setup program instructions
n
The SETUP program installs the Keil m
and Simulator; and the ARM Compilation Tools.
Blinky Example
This example demonstrates the ease of downloading and
debugging an application on a target board.

Connecting to your Target
The target is powered via your PC, through its USB port. The Keil
ULINK family of adapters connect the USB port of your PC to
the JTAG port of your target board allowing you to download and
debug embedded programs running on your target hardware.
ULINK2 and ULINK-ME support standard JTAG and Real-Time
Agent for on-the-fly target debugging.
Using ULINK2
The ULINK2 Adapter connects to the MCB2929 using the 20-pin
ribbon cable.
Using ULINK-ME
The ULINK-ME Adapter connects directly to the MCB2929 20-pin
JTAG connector.
The LEDs on the target blink from left to right, and back again.
n
Press S1 to increase, and S2 to decrease the speed of blinking.
Start debug mode
n
Using the debugger commands, you may:
Single step through code
n
Set breakpoints
n
Run the application
n
Review variables in the watch window
n
Reset the device to re-run the application
n
Use the yellow arrow (program counter) to view the
n
current assembler or C statement
