Getting Started and Blinky Example
MCB2300
Quick Start Guide
This Quick Start Guide introduces the MCB2300 boards
for the LPC2360 and LPC2370 devices from NXP. It
shows how to install the ARM software development tools
and run a variety of example projects.
To install the evaluation version of the ARM RealView
Microcontroller Development Kit (MDK)
n
Insert the CD-ROM into your PC.
If the opening screen does not appear, run SETUP from the
CD root directory
n
Click Install Evaluation Software, then ARM Compiler
(Eval Tools)
n
Follow the setup program instructions
The SETUP program installs Keil mVision and the ARM
RealView compilation tools.
Installing the Software
Connecting to your Target
Using ULINK2
Using ULINK-ME
The target is powered via your PC, through its USB port. The Keil
ULINK family of adapters connect the USB port of your PC to
the JTAG port of your target board allowing you to download and
debug embedded programs running on your target hardware.
ULINK2 and ULINK-ME support standard JTAG and Real-Time
Agent for on-the-fly target debugging.
The ULINK2 Adapter connects to the MCB2300 using the 20-pin
ribbon cable.
The ULINK-ME Adapter connects directly to the MCB2300 20-pin
JTAG connector.
Blinky Example
This example demonstrates the ease of downloading and
debugging an application on a target board.
It can be found at:
C:\Keil\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCB2300\Blinky
To use this example
nStart mVision
nOpen the Blinky.uv2 project file
Project - Open
nCompile and link the Blinky application
Project - Build
nProgram the application into on-chip Flash ROM
Flash - Download
nThe LEDs on the target are controlled by the potentiometer
setting. As the setting increases, more LEDs are switched on.
nStart debug mode
Using the debugger commands, you may:
nSingle step through code
nSet breakpoints
nRun the application
nReview variables in the watch window
nReset the device to re-run the application
nUse the yellow arrow (program counter) to view the
current assembler or C statement

This example demonstrates easy networking and control of
hardware across a TCP/IP network. It configures the LAN
network parameters for the evaluation board automatically if a
DHCP server is available in your LAN. Otherwise, configure your
PC for fixed IP address as detailed in the example.

DO NOT RECOMPILE THIS EXAMPLE WITHOUT AN
RL-ARM LICENSE
This example enables you to create, read, copy and delete files
from an SD/MMC flash memory card on the evaluation board.
It can be downloaded from:
To use this example:
n
Connect the MCB2300 board’s COM1 port to the COM1 port
on your PC via a serial cable and start a hyperterminal session
configured for 115200 baud, 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit,
XON/XOFF.
n
Start mVision
n
Install an SD/MMC flash memory card and power up the board
n
Open the SD_File.uv2 project file and download to Flash
Project - Open
Flash - Download
n
The SD/MMC card can now be read or edited from the Debug
window using a HyperTerminal via a serial cable from your PC
to the evaluation board.

RTOS & Real-Time Library Examples
USB - HID Demo
This USB example project implements a Human Interface Device
(HID), and connects directly to your PC via the USB. No special
USB drivers are required, since the HID support is already built
into Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
It can be found at:
C:\Keil\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCB2300\USBHID
To use this example:
n
Start mVision
n
Open the HID.uv2 project file and download to Flash
Project - Open
Flash - Download
n
Cycle power on the target so that your PC recognizes it as an
HID device
n
Install the USB Client application which can be found at:
C:\Keil\ARM\Utilities\HID_client\Release
n
Select the evaluation board from the drop-down menu
n
Checking or unchecking the boxes in the Output (LEDs) group
turns the MCB2300 Board’s LEDs on and off.
n
Inputs (Buttons) show the status of the on-board buttons
Traffic Light example with RTX
This example uses interrupts to control a traffic light system
running on the RTX real-time operating system.
It can be found at:
C:\Keil\ARM\Boards\Keil\MCB2300\RTX_Traffic
To use this example:
n
Start mVision
n
Open the RTX_Traffic.uv2 project file
Project - Open
n
Compile and link the application, then program it into on-chip
Flash ROM
Project - Build Target
Flash - Download
n
The LEDs will begin to flash in a controlled manner
n
The tasks running in the application may be viewed from the
debugger window
