Overview#
Special example application which demonstrates how the NXP MCUXpresso ConfigTools can be used to configure pins, clocks, peripherals, interrupts, and even the FreeMASTER “middleware” driver features in a graphical and user friendly way. The user can switch between the Serial, CAN, and other ways of communication and generate the required initialization code automatically.

Note to CM4/CM0+ core execution
The target MCU is a dual core consisting of Cortex M4 and Cortex M0+ cores. The MCU boots by running CM4 core by default, so the cm4 example projects will run without any change. The cm0plus examples will not run automatically. You should be able to use a debugger session (tested in IAR EWARM IDE) to upload the compiled code to MCU RAM and start the CM0+ core to execute it. In a typical application, the CM4 core will boot and will set up the execution environment for the CM0+ core. Alternatively, you can set the CM0+ core to be the default booting core as described at https://wiki.segger.com/K32W#Boot_ROM. In any case, make sure that only one of the cores will access the communication peripheral module and will handle the FreeMASTER communication.

LPCXpresso54S018
Hardware requirements
LPCXpresso54S018 board
Personal Computer
FreeMASTER 2.5 or later installed on PC
Serial line, CAN or USB equipment as needed to connect over selected interface.
Board settings
By default, the demo is configured for standard serial (UART) communication. It may be changed to other interface in MCUXpresso ConfigTools. Run the MCUXpresso ConfigTools, select the Peripherals tool and open the Middleware/FreeMASTER component configuration. Refer to the list of recommended communication options below and make the selection in the FreeMASTER configuration page. Note that the other communication interfaces may require to use different physical connections, such as CAN transceiver, serial or USB ports.
Note: This board does not have a CAN transceiver so you need to connect your own CAN transceiver connected to pins:
PIO3_18 is connected to CAN0_TX
PIO3_19 is connected to CAN0_RX
Recommended communication options
‘SERIAL’ at FLEXCOMM0 module connected to virtual serial port of the debugger USB interface.
‘CAN’ at MCAN module.
‘Packet-driven BDM’ using the debugger interface (use flash-based build targets only).
Prepare the demo
Interconnect the host PC and the target microcontroller board using the selected interface cable.
Compile and download the program to the target microcontroller.
Run and resume application execution when debugger stops in the main() function.
If using the Packet-driven BDM interface
Terminate the debugger session to release the JTAG interface for FreeMASTER use.
Reset the target board to make sure it runs after detaching the debugger.
Connect with FreeMASTER
Run FreeMASTER, use the Connection Wizard or open Project Options.
Configure Serial, CAN or other communication as required by this demo setup.
