Page 13: U-Boot
NXP LPC3180 Demo User’s Manual On startup, the three LEDs located just above the LPC3180 will blink indicating CPU activity. Following this the LEDs will count from 1 to 5 in binary as SIBL progresses through various stages. This is useful in circumstances when the GUI board is not plugged in and a HyperTerminal connection is not being made from a Host PC. -

Page 15: Downloading New Software
NXP LPC3180 Demo User’s Manual Downloading New Software Please consult the FDI website, www.teamfdi.com/lpc3180 for updated board images and other related software. 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. - Page 16 NXP LPC3180 Demo User’s Manual Building Images. Otherwise, the following steps may be used to transfer images to SDRAM: The serial connection to the LPC3180 board should be configured according to the steps outlined in 2.6 Serial Connection. 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).
