Make sure all required software is installed correctly and available in your PATH.
Clone the project, go to the bare-metal project folder and build it:
git clone https://github.com/blinky101/blinky_lpc43xx.git
cd blinky_lpc43xx/bare-metal
make all
This step flashes the firmware via the Black Magic Probe. Flashing via OpenOCD is also possible, but not covered in this documentation.
arm-none-eabi-gdb -nx --batch \
-ex 'target extended-remote /dev/ttyACM0' \
-ex 'monitor swdp_scan' \
-ex 'attach 1' \
-ex 'load' \
-ex 'set mem inaccessible-by-default off' \
-ex 'compare-sections' \
-ex 'kill' \
blinky.elf
The output will look similar to this:
Loading section .text, size 0x184 lma 0x0
Start address 0xd4, load size 388
Transfer rate: 3 KB/sec, 388 bytes/write.
Section .text, range 0x0 -- 0x184: matched.
Kill the program being debugged? (y or n) [answered Y; input not from terminal]
This works similarly to flashing. Connect your debugger to the target board, and run the following command:
arm-none-eabi-gdb \
-ex 'target extended-remote /dev/ttyACM0' \
-ex 'monitor swdp_scan' \
-ex 'attach 1' \
-ex 'set mem inaccessible-by-default off' \
blinky.elf
This should drop you into a gdb console.
Try plugging the black Magic Probe in and out and observing the differences in /dev/. On linux, /dev/ttyACM0 or similar is expected, on MacOS it will look like /dev/cu.<serial_number>.
The official Black Magic Probe has this capability, but it is disabled by default. If your board is 3.3V compatible, run this command to enable the power:
arm-none-eabi-gdb -nx --batch -ex 'target extended-remote /dev/ttyACM0' -ex 'monitor tpwr enable'
The bare-metal project is optimized for having minimal dependencies, which does make the code a bit confusing to read. Also, a lot of corners were cut to keep the dependencies minimal: basing a real project on this code is not recommended. Please have a look at the basic and cpm projects.
