UNIVERSAL ASYNCHRONOUS RECEIVER TRANSMITTER (UART)

The LPC 2138 microcontrollers come with two UART modules - UART0 and UART1. It has
only asynchronous (no clock connection) mode of operation. The UART0 operates through P0.0
(TXD) and P0.1 (RXD) pins while the UART1 uses P0.8 (TXD) and P0.9 (RXD) pins. The LPC
2138 UART output itself operates at CMOS voltages, and needs an external serial line driver to
convert its output into a higher symmetrical line voltage. The MAX3232 serial driver serves this
purpose.

Note: For the UART module to work, the ISP(J17) and RST(J21) jumpers must be removed.

MATRIX KEYBOARD

A keypad is simply an array of push buttons connected in rows and columns, so that each can be
tested for closure with the minimum number of connections. There are 16 keys on a phone type pad
arranged in a 4X4 matrix. Assume the columns are labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 and the rows A, B, C, D. If we
assume that all the rows and columns are initially high, a keystroke can be detected by setting each
row low in turn and checking each column for a zero. In the KEYPAD circuit the 8 keypad pins are
connected to Port0. While coding, Pins P0.14-P0.17 should be initialized as outputs and pins
P0.10-P0.13 as inputs. These input pins are pulled high to logic 1. The output rows are also initially
set to 1. If a 0 is now output on row A, there is no effect on the inputs unless a button in row A is
pressed. If these are checked in turn for a 0, a button in this row which is pressed can be identified as a
specific combination of output and input bits.

FAMILIARIZATION OF KEIL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUITE

CREATING A PROJECT

Keil µVision3 software is a standard Windows application for project development and can be
installed like any standard application. µVision3 includes a project manager which makes it easy to
design applications for an ARM based microcontroller. You need to perform the following steps to
create a new project:

 Open Kiel uVision3 Software from start menu or Desktop shortcut

 Select the Toolset (only required for ARM Projects).

 Create Project File and Select CPU.

 Create New Source Files.

 Add Source Files to the Project.

 Set Tool Options for Target Hardware.

 Configure the CPU Startup Code.

 Create a HEX File.

 Build Project and Generate Application Program Code.

We bring the world to you..

 www.rhydolabz.com

The section provides a step-by-step tutorial that shows you how to create a simple µVision3 project.

Click Keil
uVision3

Creating Project File

To create a new project file select from the µVision3 menu File – New – µVision Project….
This opens a standard Windows dialog that asks you for the new project file name. You should use a
separate folder for each project. You can simply use the icon Create New Folder in this dialog to
get an empty new folder.

Select this folder and enter the file name for the new project, eg. Project1. µVision3 creates a
new project file with the name PROJECT1.UV2 which contains a default target and file group
name. You can see these names in the Project Workspace – Files.

Select Microcontroller from Device Database

When you create a new project µVision3 asks you to select a CPU for your project. The Select
Device dialog box shows the µVision3 device database. Just select the microcontroller you use. For

We bring the world to you..

the example in this chapter we are using the Philips LPC 2138 controller. This selection sets
necessary tool options for the LPC2132 device and simplifies in this way the tool configuration.

Select uC

Click OK

Copy and Add the CPU Startup Code

An embedded program requires CPU initialization code that needs to match the configuration
of your hardware design. This Startup Code depends also on the tool chain that you are using. Since
you might need to modify that file to match your target hardware, the file should be copied to your
project folder.

We bring the world to you..

 www.rhydolabz.com

For most devices, µVision3 asks you to copy the CPU specific Startup Code to your project. This is
required on almost all projects (exceptions are library projects and add-on projects). The Startup
Code performs configuration of the microcontroller device and initialization of the compiler run-time
system. Answer with YES to this question.

Click YES

Note: The CPU Startup Code typically requires some configuration; however the default
configuration gives you a good starting point for single chip applications.

Create New Source Files

You may create a new source file with the menu option File – New. This opens an empty editor
window where you can enter your source code. µVision3 enables the C color syntax highlighting
when you save your file with the dialog File – Save As… under a filename with the extension *.C.
Here we save our example file under the name led.C.

#include <LPC21xx.h> /* LPC 2138 definitions */

void delay(void) { /* Delay function */
int i;
for(i=0;i<1000;i++); /* Delay for LED blink */
}
int main (void) {
IO1DIR = 0x00FF0000; /* P1.16..23 defined as Outputs */
while (1) { /* infinite Loop */
IO1SET = 0X00FF0000; /* P1.16..23 pins high */
delay();
IO1CLR = 0x00FF0000; /* P1.16..23 pins low */
delay(); } }

Add Source Files to Project

Once you have created your source file you can add this file to your project. µVision3 offers several
ways to add source files to a project. For example, you can select the file group in the Project
Workspace – Files page and click with the right mouse key to open a local menu. The option Add
Files opens the standard files dialog. Select the file led.c you have just created.
Right Click –
Source Group

Click On Add Files to

Group ‘Source Group 1’

Set Tool Options for Target

µVision3 lets you set options for your target hardware. The dialog Options for Target opens via the
toolbar icon or via the Project - Options for Target menu item. In the Target tab you specify all
relevant parameters of your target hardware and the on-chip components of the device you have
selected. The following dialog shows the settings for our example.

We bring the world to you..

 www.rhydolabz.com

The following table describes the options of the Target dialog:

Dialog Item Description

Xtal Specifies the external clock frequency of your device. Several microcontrollers use an
on-chip PLL to generate the CPU clock. In this case the value is not identical with the
XTAL frequency. Check your hardware design carefully to determine the correct value.
Operating Allows you to select a Real-Time Operating System for your project.
System
Use On-chip Defines the address spaces for the on-chip memory components for the linker/locater.
ROM / RAM Note that on some devices you need to reflect this configuration in the Startup Code.

Configure Startup Code

The CPU Startup Code (on most ARM targets the file name is Startup.S) may be open from the
Project Workspace - Files Tab. Most startup files have embedded comments for the µVision3
Configuration Wizard which provides menu driven selections.

We bring the world to you..

 www.rhydolabz.com

The default settings of the Startup Code give a good starting point on most single chip
applications. However you need to adapt the configuration for your target hardware. CPU/PLL clock
and BUS system are target specific and cannot be automatically configured. You need to ensure
that the settings in the startup file match the other settings in your project.

The button Edit as Text opens the Startup Code in a standard editor window and allows you to
review the source code of this file.

Create HEX File

Once you have successfully generated your application you can start debugging. After you
have tested your application, it is required to create an Intel HEX file to download the software into an
EPROM programmer or simulator. µVision3 creates HEX files with each build process when Create
HEX file under Options for Target – Output is enabled.

We bring the world to you..

 www.rhydolabz.com

Build Project

Typical, the tool settings under Options – Target are all you need to start a new application. You may
translate all source files and link the application with a click on the Build Target toolbar icon. When
you build an application with syntax errors, µVision3 will display errors and warning messages in the
Output Window – Build page. A double click on a message line opens the source file on the correct
location in a µVision3 editor window.
