1 Introduction to the Rapid Development Kit
The phyCORE
System-on-Module (SoM) is designed to be plugged into a PHYTEC Carrier Board.
The PHYTEC Carrier Board contains the I/O connectors as well as any other interface circuitry not
provided on the phyCORE
SoM itself. The phyCORE
SoM, combined with the PHYTEC Carrier
Board, provides a platform to jump start embedded designs and propel concept to prototype and
finished product.
Each PHYTEC Rapid Development Kit contains a phyCORE SoM mounted on an applicable Carrier
Board, cables, power supply, printed schematics, applicable evaluation software development tool
CDs, and the PHYTEC Kit CD. The PHYTEC Kit CD provides this QuickStart guide, complete
electronic documentation, and demos.
1.1 Rapid Development Kit Documentation
This "Rapid Development Kit" (RDK) includes the following documentation on the enclosed "PHYTEC
Kit CD":
the PHYTEC phyCORE-LPC3250 Hardware Manual
LPC3250 controller User's Manuals and Data Sheets
this QuickStart Instruction
1.2 Overview of this QuickStart Instruction
This QuickStart Instruction gives a general "Rapid Development Kit" description, as well as software
installation hints and example programs enabling quick out-of-the box start-up of the phyCORE
-
LPC3250 in conjunction with the IAR JLINK, IAR Embedded WorkBench
®
for ARM
(EWARM)
software tools, and Micrium tools. The QuickStart is structured as follows:
1. The "Getting Started" section describes how to install the IAR Embedded WorkBench®,
interface the phyCORE
-LPC3250 target hardware to a host PC, and run the Debug iRAM
project to demonstrate the download of user code to the internal RAM using the IAR Jlink and
EWARM software tools.
2. The "Debugging" section introduces the main debugging features of the IAR EWARM and
uses the Debug xRAM project to demonstrate the download of user code to the external
SDRAM memory on the phyCORE
-LPC3250 and goes through a basic debugging exercise
with use of a break point.
3. The "Flash Programming" section uses the Debug xRAM boot from NAND project to
demonstrate the download of user code to the external NAND Flash memory on the
phyCORE
-LPC3250
4. The "Getting More Involved" section provides instructions for creating a new project with the
GettingStarted demo as a template.
5. The "Micrium uC/OS-II Demo" provides instructions for downloading and running Micrium
uC/OS-II.
