Introduction to ARM7

The LPC2141/42/44/46/48 microcontrollers are based on a 16-bit/32-bit ARM7TDMI-S CPU with real-
time emulation and embedded trace support, that combine microcontroller with embedded high speed
flash memory ranging from 32 kB to 512 kB. A 128-bit wide memory interface and unique accelerator
architecture enable 32-bit code execution at the maximum clock rate. For critical code size applications,
the alternative 16-bit Thumb mode reduces code by more than 30 % with minimal performance penalty.
Due to their tiny size and low power consumption, LPC2141/42/44/46/48 are ideal for applications where
miniaturization is a key requirement, such as access control and point-of sale. Serial communications
interfaces ranging from a USB 2.0 Full-speed device, multiple UARTs, SPI, SSP to I2C-bus and on-chip
SRAM of 8 kB up to 40 kB, make these devices very well suited for communication gateways and
protocol converters, soft modems, voice recognition and low end imaging, providing both large buffer
size and high processing power. Various 32-bit timers, single or dual 10-bit ADC(s), 10-bit DAC, PWM
channels and 45 fast GPIO lines with up to nine edge or level sensitive external interrupt pins make these
microcontrollers suitable for industrial control and medical systems.

Step 1: After opening Keil uV4, Go to Project tab and click on close project

Then Create new uVision project

Now Select new folder and give name to Project.

Step 2: After Creating project now Select your device model. Example.NXP-LPC2148

[You can change it later from project window.]

Step 3: so now your project is created and Message window will appear to add start up file of your
Device click on Yes so it will be added to your project folder

Step 4: Now go to File and create new file and save it with .C extension if you will write program in C
language or save with .asm for assembly language.

Step 5: Now write your program and save it again. You can try example given at end of this tutorial.

Step 6: After that on left you see project window [if it’s not there….go to View tab and click on project
window]

Now come on Project window.

Right click on target and click on options for target

Here you can change your device also.

Click output tab here & check create Hex file if you want to generate hex file

Now click on ok so it will save changes.

Step 7: Now Expand target and you will see source group

Right click on group and click on Add files to source group

Now add your program file which you have written in C/assembly.

You can see program file added under source group.

Step 8: Now Click on Build target.You can find it under Project tab or in toolbar.It can also be done by
pressing F7 key.
