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 lpcxpresso55s16 board.

Connections and IOs

The LPC55S16 SoC has IOCON registers, which can be used to configure the functionality of a pin.

System Clock

The LPC55S16 SoC is configured to use PLL1 clocked from the external 24MHz crystal, running at 144MHz as a source for the system clock. When the flash controller is enabled, the core clock will be reduced to 96MHz. The application may reconfigure clocks after initialization, provided that the core clock is always set to 96MHz when flash programming operations are performed.

Serial Port

The LPC55S16 SoC has 8 FLEXCOMM interfaces for serial communication. One is configured as USART for the console, one is configured for I2C, 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: lpcxpresso55s16 :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 v2.2.0 ***** Hello World! lpcxpresso55s16

Debugging

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

.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world :board: lpcxpresso55s16 :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-v2.2.0 ***** Hello World! lpcxpresso55s16
