lpc 2378 out of the box help please

Did anyone get a solution to this last post ?

Thanks

It’s been a while. I seem to recall I did not get this working. I’ve been using flashmagic to upload data, and I’ve been displaying debug messages on the LCD. Not as nice as the JTAG debugger, but it’s been working for me.

Mine (EK-LM3S1968) seems to be working again now.

Not sure why it was generating the breakpoints error

It seems this is such a trial and error process for beginners, makes development so much slower than on commercial IDEs

Hello

I’ve been trying to get some eclipse project samples for the LPC2378-STK, I am using the Eclipse/GCC environment with the “blinky” project working as it should.

Any sample projects for this board is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry, I can only help out with Stellaris examples…

It’s ok :), some solution should be found sooner or later.

At least the CrossStudio for Arm v2 works with my arm-usb-tiny, there are some sample projects there, but what I was really looking for was a sample using the lcd screen and I only have an evaluation license for a month anyway…

I recommend getting the GNU C/C++ toolchain working. It might take a bit of work, but after its all working you are better off for it, having a bit more knowledge on how it all comes together.

And its free !!

There are lots of instructions on the web, however you will have to work out how to get it exactly right for your particular configuration.

If you ever think about changing chips, the TI/luminary driver library is great (plus lots of demo code), makes getting something going really quick and easy, also the TI forum is very quick and helpful and full of all the basics you need to get everything working.

Some links that might be usefull

I agree, I have the eclipse-gcc toolchain working (at least tested with debugging the blinky project).

You are right too about the chance to learn more when starting from scratch.

I am just trying to find any kind of sample project for the eclipse environment at this point to reverse engineer. It is always nice if you can learn also by example…

About changing chips, now I have this setup half working (lpc 2378 stk and an arm-usb-tiny jtag programmer), it really hurts that I cannot experiment with it as much as I would like to.

Thanks for your links!

It’s been a while, but I got the debugger working. I found this PDF from olimex which walked me through the key steps to make it go.

I had to remove the ISP_E and RST_E jumpers and install the DBG_E jumper as well as make sure it has a solid power supply, he ARM-USB-OCD had trouble powering the LCD.
