NXP^TM LPC2XXX and LPC17XX / Re: LPC2366 Flash size wrong

Hi Mark and others
 Just to muddy the waters further, mark, you may need to consider the MCB2300 board in a slightly different light. 

You say (as do your defines) that this board has a 2378 chip.  My version 3 board
has a 100pin 2368 chip and a DP83848 Phy chip circa late 2006 according to the schematic! 

This may lead to some confusions when refering simply to MCB2300 board.

Good Luck

NXP^TM LPC2XXX and LPC17XX / Re: Issues with First Steps

Thanks Mark I will work my way through it.

Btw,  I haven't used the #define OWN_TASK yet as it wasn't mentioned in the first steps guide but I notice in some other posts that other users are using it in their own code.  Should I be using it also or has it been superceeded by the other declarations in the example?

NXP^TM LPC2XXX and LPC17XX / Issues with First Steps

« on: January 02, 2010, 09:20:52 PM »

Hi

I am working through the User-Guide First Steps section with Olimex LPC-P2378 board and have some comments about progress so far.

1.   It would be useful to remind complete Newbies like me not to forget #include config.h   in the new2ly created task source file (in my case martin.c which I added to the project. Spent quite a long time working out the compiler errors.

2.  the fnDebugDec(ucCounter++,0,0); statement gives a compilation error (too many parameters) . On Checking the code in device.c it has indeed only 2 paraqmeters.  I guess the .pdf needs updating with the correct code sample.

3.  There seems to be a decrepency in the #define SERIAL_PORT_0  '3' in LPC in the .pf doc.  In app-hwxxxx.h file this define expects an integer 3 rather than a char '3'  not sure if this makes a difference.

4.  I finally got a good build in DEBUG mode for the simulator but could not find any instruction as to how to get the simulted serial port to perform with UART_0 going to COM 2 on my pc using
TeraTerm.  However I did get a TELNET connection to work (also from TeraTerm), so I had a go at building for the Hardware board with the following (seemingly ambiguous message back)

1>Performing Post-Build Event...

1>uTMartin-1 - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Rebuild All: 1 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========

A subsequent download to the board resulted in the App running (Led Blinking) but no output on either the Serial or TELNET connections.

I guess it is because the standard 'make_uTMartin-1_GNU_LPC23XX file (a clone of the DemoProject) does not yet include my Martin.c Task file.  Some instructions for we Newbies (no previous experience with build-link-deploy chain) would be useful here.

Thanks in advance

Hi mark

yes, i've read that somewhere in your extensive documentation, then promptly forgotten it again!

Thanks again for your cool support.

Thanks Mark

Rebuild did it and Simulation builds OK.  B....y VS.

However when simulating (correct build as it now shows the 2 row panel), the IP and MAC are showing those specified for my OLIMEX (other) project. IP is set up to a different value for MBC2300 and MAC should still be all zero as I haven't been onto the simulated web-server yet to change it.

best regards

NXP^TM LPC2XXX and LPC17XX / Problem Building MCB2300 V3 board

« on: December 29, 2009, 08:28:48 PM »

Hi

I have 2 development boards.  
Olimex LPC-P7378 (No  LCD 144pin NXP-2378 chip)
Kiel MCB2300 V3 (2 Row LCD, NXP2368 100pin chip)

Tried 'getting started' on OLIMEX and it built fine for both DEBUG and GNU-Target.  Simulated and Ran fine in Hardware. UnDefined both SUPPORT_LCD and SUPPORT_GLCD since neither were appropriate for the hardware.

Tried the same with MCB2300 using a 'new' set of uTasker Files. changed to
#define LPC2368FBD100, #define KEIL_MCB2300, undefined SUPPORT_GLCD and defined SUPPORT_LCD.

Build (for DEBUG) failed  with


1>Linking...
1>LCD.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _CollectCommand referenced in function __fnWriteDisplay
1>.\Debug/uTaskerV1-4.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals


I know Mark has tested MBC2300 but I don't know if it is the same version board (V3).

If I undefine SUPPORT_LCD it builds OK but of course looses a useful LCD panel.
Has anone come across this problem before.  If so is there a fix?

Being a total Newbie at VS, C and ARM7 I don't have sufficient confidence yet to go poking around in the innards of the code.

Thanks in advance
