 1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

Welcome to the LPC5500's 1-day seminar!

The objective of the Lab PreRequisites Manual is to give you a “first foot in the door” to preparaing for the
1 Day Seminar.
You will learn how to download and install the software developers’ tools, such as the MCUXpresso IDE,
which you will use later to create and configure different types of projects from scratch, and learn how to
build, download and debug these projects on the LPC55S69-EVK development board.

1.2. How to Use This Document

The document is a subset of the main Lab Guide and is divided into the following sections:

Section 2 – Environment Setup

 1.3.2. Using SDK Builder to download the MCUXpresso SDK

This section describes how to manually download the most recent MCUXpresso SDK for the LPC55S69 using
the SDK Builder from NXP’s website. For your convenience, we already provided you with the latest SDK
under the Software folder that is part of the Seminar’s deliverables. You may wish to skip this step and
proceed to section 2.3.2 directly. However, to make use the most version of the SDK follow these steps.

1. Open your favorite web browser. Browse to https://mcuxpresso.nxp.com and sign-in with your NXP
account (Create an account if you do not have one yet). Click on “Select Development Board”

2. From under “Select a Device, Board or Kit”, select Boards->LPC. Then browse the list of available
devices and select the LPCXpresso5569 board. Then click on Build MCUXpresso SDK.

3. From the SDK Builder menu, make sure that Windows is selected as a Host OS and that MCUXpresso
IDE is selected as Toolchain/IDE.

 1.3.3. Installing MCUXpresso SDK for LPC55S69

1. Start the IDE from the desktop shortcut icon shortcut icon, toolbar icons, or by running the
program from the install location, for example:
C:\NXP\MCUXpressoIDE_11.0.1_2563\ide\mcuxpressoide.exe.

2. The IDE will first prompt you for a workspace to store preferences, source code and development
artifacts. It does not really matter where this workspace is located, nor the name that you provide. For
simplicity, give the workspace the name Seminar, leave it in the default location and then click [Launch].
Ignore these instructions if you know what you are doing and would prefer a more convenient location.

3. MCUXpresso opens with the Develop perspective, and observe the Quickstart Panel view and the
Installed SDKs view at the lower edge of the perspective.

4. Next, we import the SDK into MCUXpresso IDE with a ‘drag and drop’ operation. Locate the
SDK_2.6.2_LPC55S69.zip for LPC55S69-EVK archive that you downloaded using Windows Explorer. Then
drag-and-drop it into the Installed SDKs view in MCUXpresso IDE.

 5. Depending upon the host permission on your account, this process may, or may not work. If the drag and
drop fails, you can manually copy the ZIP file into the following folder. Note that it is in your User account
on your host PC. C:\Users\<Your User Name>\mcuxpresso\SDKPackages

6. You should end up with the SDK installed into MCUXpresso IDE (you may need to restart MCUXpresso
IDE). The SDK will be visible in the Installed SDKs view and we can now start to use the example software.

1.3.4. Installing Tera Term

1. Navigate to https://osdn.net/projects/ttssh2/releases/
