Overview

The LPCXpresso55S06 board provides the ideal platform for evaluation of the LPC55S0x/LPC550x MCU family, based on the Arm® Cortex®-M33 architecture. Arduino® UNO compatible shield connectors are included, with additional expansion ports around the Arduino footprint, along with a PMod/host interface port and MikroElektronika Click module site.

Hardware

  • LPC55S06 Arm® Cortex®-M33 microcontroller running at up to 96 MHz
  • 256 KB flash and 96 KB SRAM on-chip
  • LPC-Link2 debug high speed USB probe with VCOM port
  • MikroElektronika Click expansion option
  • LPCXpresso expansion connectors compatible with Arduino UNO
  • PMod compatible expansion / host connector
  • Reset, ISP, wake, and user buttons for easy testing of software functionality
  • Tri-color LED
  • UART header for external serial to USB cable
  • CAN Transceiver
  • NXP FXOS8700CQ accelerometer

Supported Features

.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::

.. note::

For additional features not yet supported, please also refer to the :zephyr:board:lpcxpresso55s69 , which is the superset board in NXP's LPC55xx series. NXP prioritizes enabling the superset board with NXP's Full Platform Support for Zephyr. Therefore, the lpcxpresso55s69 board may have additional features already supported, which can also be re-used on this lpcxpresso55s06 board:

Connections and IOs

The LPC55S06 SoC has IOCON registers, which can be used to configure the functionality of a pin.

+---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | Name | Function | Usage | +=========+=================+============================+ | PIO0_5 | GPIO | ISP SW4 | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | PIO0_29 | USART | USART RX | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | PIO0_30 | USART | USART TX | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | PIO1_4 | GPIO | RED LED | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | PIO1_6 | GPIO | BLUE_LED | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | PIO1_7 | GPIO | GREEN LED | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | PIO1_9 | GPIO | USR SW3 | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+ | PIO1_18 | GPIO | Wakeup SW1 | +---------+-----------------+----------------------------+

System Clock

The LPC55S06 SoC is configured to use the internal FRO at 96MHz as a source for the system clock. Other sources for the system clock are provided in the SOC, depending on your system requirements.

Serial Port

The LPC55S06 SoC has 8 FLEXCOMM interfaces for serial communication. One is configured as USART for the console and the remaining are not used.

Programming and Debugging

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:build_an_application and :ref:application_run for more details).

Configuring a Debug Probe

LinkServer is the default runner for this board. A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is configured by default to use the integrated :ref:mcu-link-onboard-debug-probe in the CMSIS-DAP mode. To use this probe with Zephyr, you need to install the :ref:linkserver-debug-host-tools and make sure they are in your search path. Refer to the detailed overview about :ref:application_debugging for additional information.

The integrated MCU-Link hardware can also be used as a J-Link probe with a firmware update, as described in :ref:mcu-link-jlink-onboard-debug-probe. The :ref:jlink-debug-host-tools should be available in this case.

Configuring a Console

Connect a USB cable from your PC to J1 (LINK2), and use the serial terminal of your choice (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:

  • Speed: 115200
  • Data: 8 bits
  • Parity: None
  • Stop bits: 1

Flashing

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: lpcxpresso55s06 :goals: flash

Open a serial terminal, reset the board (press the RESET button), and you should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

***** Booting Zephyr OS v3.0.0 ***** Hello World! lpcxpresso55s06

Debugging

Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:hello_world application.

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: lpcxpresso55s06 :goals: debug

Open a serial terminal, step through the application in your debugger, and you should see the following message in the terminal:

.. code-block:: console

***** Booting Zephyr OS zephyr-v3.0.0 ***** Hello World! lpcxpresso55s06
