Introduction to ARM Board (LPC2148)

This section of the document introduces LPC2148 microcontroller board based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-time emulation and embedded trace support, that combine microcontrollers with embedded high-speed flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A 128-bit wide memory interface and unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications, the alternative 16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30% with minimal performance penalty. The meaning of LPC is Low Power Low Cost microcontroller. This is 32 bit microcontroller manufactured by Philips semiconductors (NXP). Due to their tiny size and low power consumption, LPC2148 is ideal for applications where miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and point-of-sale. 1.1 Features of ARM Microcontroller 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S microcontroller in a tiny LQFP64 package. 8 kB to 40 kB of on-chip static RAM and 32 kB to 512 kB of on-chip flash memory; 128-bit wide interface/accelerator enables high-speed 60 MHz operation. In-System Programming/In-Application Programming (ISP/IAP) via on-chip boot loader software, single flash sector or full chip erase in 400 ms and programming of 256 Bytes in 1 ms Embedded ICE RT and Embedded Trace interfaces offer real-time debugging with the on-chip Real Monitor software and high-speed tracing of instruction execution. USB 2.0 Full-speed compliant device controller with 2kB of endpoint RAM. In addition, the LPC2148 provides 8 kB of on-chip RAM accessible to USB by DMA. One or two (LPC2141/42 vs, LPC2144/46/48) 10-bit ADCs provide a total of 6/14 analog inputs, with conversion times as low as 2.44 ms per channel. Single 10-bit DAC provides variable analog output (LPC2148 only)

HOW TO USE KEIL VISION4 for ARM7 (LPC2148) Step By Step

KEIL VISION4 IDE

The LPC2148 microcontroller is supported by various commercially available IDEs for compiling and debugging of the code. Keil being one of them is the widely used IDE for LPC family of microcontrollers. The Vision4 IDE is Windows-based

software development platforms that combines a robust editor, project manager, and make facility. Vision4 integrates all tools including the C compiler, macro

assembler, linker/locator, and HEX file generator. The evaluation version of Keil Vision4 IDE is used for demonstrating the codes. The open source community has been doing a lot in the development of open source tools for ARM architecture based Microcontroller. The open source tools are available at zero cost and are being improved with time. Eclipse being one of them and is most commonly used IDE due to its unique features like auto complete, project tree, etc. It requires GCC tool chain for code compilation.
