Flash Magic by selecting it from the Start Menu. In the Flash Magic windows
select Options > Advanced
Options ... menu item. In
the window that appears enable the check box that says Use DTR and RTS to control RST and P0.14, and click on Ok.
When this option is enabled, during code download, the
flashing tool will automatically switch the device into ISP mode. For more
information on this, see the board user manual.
Basically “LibFiles” contains
“system_lpc17xx.c” and “.h” files.
Before executing lab programs it is important to have this library
files in our system as we are going to link our programs to this folder.
Place “LibFiles” folder
in a common path in all the computers. (ex:
C->Documents->ARM->LibFiles)
1.
Open the Keil software and select “Project-> New µvision project” as shown below.
2.
Browse to your project folder (/Create a
folder) and provide the project name and click on save.
3.
Once the project is saved a new pop up “Select
Device for Target” opens, Select the controller (NXP:LPC1768) and click on OK.
4.
Select the controller (NXP:LPC1768) and click
on OK.
5.
As LPC1768 needs the startup code, click
on Yes option to include the LPC17xx Startup file.
6. Create a new file to
write the program.
7.
Type the code or Copy paste the below code
snippet.
8.
After typing the code save the file as main.c.
9.
Add the recently saved file to the project.
10. Add the “main.c” along with system_LPC17xx.c.
11.
Build the project and fix the compiler errors/warnings if any.
12.
Code is compiled with no errors. The .hex file
is still not generated. Follow section 4 (how to
enable Hex
4. How to Enable Hex File Generation
1.
Click on Target Options (or right click on “Target 1”
and select “Options for Target ‘Target 1’…) to select the option for
generating .hex file.
2.
Set IROM1 start address as 0x0000.
3.
Enable the option to generate the .hex file
4. Hex file is generated
after a rebuild.
5. Check the project folder
for the generated .hex file.
Once the “.hex” file is generated in keil, we
need to upload the hex file to the hardware. We use Flash Magic Tool for the
same.
Open the flash magic software and follow the below steps.
1. Select
the IC “LPC1768” from Select Menu.
2. Select
the COM Port. Check the device manager for detected Com port.
3. Select
Baud rate from 9600-115200
4. Select
None [ISP] Option for Interface.
5. Oscillator
Frequency 12.000000(12Mhz).
6. Check
the Erase blocks used by Hex file option
7. Browse
and Select the hex file.
8. Check
the Verify After Programming Option.
9. If DTR
and RTS are used then go to Options->Advanced Options-> Hardware Config
and select the Use DTR and RTS Option.
10. Hit the
Start Button to flash the hex file.
11. Once
the hex file is flashed, reset the board. Now the controller should run your application
code.
