Hardware requirements

  • Mini/micro USB cable

  • MCX-N5XX-EVK board

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

To make LPFLEXCOMM example work, connections needed to be as follows:

    LPI2C1 SCL(J2-12)     -->          LPI2C2 SCL(J2-20)
    LPI2C1 SDA(J2-8)      -->          LPI2C2 SDA(J2-18)
	LPUART1 TX(J2-10)	  -->          LPUART2 RX(J1-2)
	LPUART1 RX(J2-6)	  -->          LPUART2 TX(J1-4)

Prepare the Demo

  1. Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the MCU-Link USB port on the target board.

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

The following message shows in the terminal if the example runs successfully.

 
LPFLEXCOMM example.
In this example 2 lpflexcomm instances are used.
First the lpflexcomm instances are used as I2C, I2C master of instance 1 sends data to I2C slave of instance2.
Then the lpflexcomm instances are used as UART, UART2 sends data back to UART1.
The next round UART1 sends data to UART2, then lpflexcomm instances switch back to I2C mode, 
I2C master of instance 1 reads data from I2C slave of instance 2 of the data received as UART.
Master will send data :
0x 0  0x 1  0x 2  0x 3  0x 4  0x 5  0x 6  0x 7  
0x 8  0x 9  0x a  0x b  0x c  0x d  0x e  0x f
