System Clock

The LPC55S28 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 LPC55S28 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

Build and flash applications as usual (see Building an Application and Run an Application for more details).

Configuring a Debug Probe

A debug probe is used for both flashing and debugging the board. This board is configured by default to use the LPC-Link2 CMSIS-DAP Onboard Debug Probe.

Configuring a Console

Connect a USB cable from your PC to P6, 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 Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b lpcxpresso55s28 samples/hello_world
west flash

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

***** Booting Zephyr OS v2.4.0 *****
Hello World! lpcxpresso55s28

Debugging

Here is an example for the Hello World application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b lpcxpresso55s28 samples/hello_world
west debug

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

***** Booting Zephyr OS zephyr-v2.4.0 *****
Hello World! lpcxpresso55s28
