Getting started with LPC288x

1. Introduction

The LPC288x (LPC2880/LPC2888) includes an ARM7TDMI CPU with an 8 kB cache.

The LPC2888 includes a 1 MB Flash memory system. It has an on-chip DC-to-DC

converter that can generate the required voltages from a single battery or from USB

power. Some other important peripherals are a high-speed USB 2.0 device interface, I2S

interface, SD/MMC card interface and 16-bit stereo A/D and D/A converters (with

amplification and gain control).

In many ways, the LPC2888/LPC2880 is different compared to other devices in the

LPC2000 family. The LPC288x differs in the clocking structure; interrupt handling and

flash programming (to list a few). So code written for an LPC2000 device may not

necessarily work for the LPC288x without modifications.

This application note attempts to cover the various aspects that need to be considered

while writing an application for the LPC288x or porting existing software from any

LPC2000 family device to the LPC288x.

The various topics covered in this application note are as follows:

1. Basic assembly startup code

2. Port pins

3. Clock Generation Unit (CGU)

4. Interrupt handling using Cache and Timer0

5. Flash programming

2. Basic startup code

The startup assembly code for the LPC288x is similar to the other LPC2000 devices

since it is also based on the ARM7TDMI-S architecture. One has to of course take into

consideration that the on-chip Flash and the on-chip SRAM start from address

0x1040 0000 and 0x40 0000, respectively, so the stack pointers and heap should be

arranged accordingly. In other LPC2000 devices, the Flash begins from 0x0 and the

SRAM starts from 0x4000 0000.

There are seventeen locations in the Clock Generation Unit (CGU) module which need to

be initialized to 0 to reduce the overall power consumption. In the header file, these

locations have been addressed as X1 to X17.

In a typical LPC2000 device startup file, one might also find code for initializing the PLL

and the Memory Accelerator module (MAM). This cannot be used for the LPC288x since

the clocking structure is more involved which includes seven input clocks and two

different PLLs. Also there is no MAM in the LPC288x.

3. Port pins

The LPC288x has 89 GPIO pins that are split into 8 ports (Port0 to Port7). Some major

differences in the port structure are as follows:

1. In other LPC2000 devices all the port pins were initialized to their GPIO configuration

on reset. In LPC288x, four port pins come up as GPIO and the rest are initialized to

their Functional IO settings. The four pins that are configured to GPIO belong to

Port2.

In LPC2000, to toggle port pins one has to set the direction of the pin (IODIRx) as output

and use IOSETx and IOCLRx respectively to drive the pin high and low.In LPC288x,

there are two-register bits m1 and m2, which need to be set to do the same operation.

The table below shows 2 register bits and their corresponding impact on port pins:

Table 1. M1/M0 settings

m1 m1 Pin state

0 0 GP in (not driven)

0 1 Functional I/O

1 0 GP out (drive LOW)

1 1 GP out (drive HIGH)

As shown above, m1 has to be set and if we toggle the m0 bit, then the corresponding

port pins will toggle.

3.1 Code example

Below is a code snippet showing how the 4 port pins of Port2 can be toggled in software.

1 /* Setting Port2 as “GP out (drive low)” */

2 MODE1S-2=0xF;

3 MODE0C-2=0x0;

5 /* To toggle the pins, just set and reset bit m2 */

6 while(1)

7 {

8 MODE0S-2=0xF;

9 MODE0C-2=0xF;

10 }

4. Clock Generation Unit (using UART)

The CGU is the most important block of the LPC288x and it controls the clocks for the

different modules of this device. The CGU is not present in any of the other LPC2000

devices.

4.1 Basic configuration

For a basic configuration of the CGU the following steps need to be carried out:

1. PLL registers: (optional)

a. Configure either the Main PLL or the high speed PLL if higher speeds are

expected for the application.

Application note Rev. 01 — 8 January 2007 5 of 25

NXP Semiconductors AN10548

Getting started with LPC288x

2. Selection stage registers:

a. Use the respective Frequency Select register to select one of the 7 input clocks.

b. The Switch Configuration and Switch Status registers would be typically used

while dynamic clock switching (shown below with an example).

3. Spreading stage registers: (optional)

a. Power control/Power status/ Enable Select and Software Reset registers would

not be typically used for a basic CGU configuration.

An application is provided below that shows how to configure the CGU for the UART

peripheral. The UART is initially set to work with the 12 MHz oscillator input and then the

clock source is dynamically and gracefully switched between the 32.768 KHz oscillator

input and the output of the main PLL (60 MHz). This application is built for the Nohau

evaluation board, details of which can be found by browsing to the “Support & tools”

section of:

http://www.nxp.com/pip/LPC2880FET180.html#support

The board has a UART port, which should be connected to the PC serial port using a

Null modem cable. The output is captured on Tera Term Pro v2.3 (similar to

HyperTerminal) and it is set to run at the serial baud rate of 600 baud.
