2.2 ESD Precaution
Please note that the LPC4357 OEM Board and OEM Base Board come without
any case/box and all components are exposed for finger touches –and therefore
extra attention must be paid to ESD (electrostatic discharge) precaution.
Make it a habit always to first touch the metal surface of one of the USB or
Ethernet connectors for a few seconds with both hands before touching
any other parts of the boards. That way, you will have the same potential as
the board and therefore minimize the risk for ESD.
Never touch directly on the LPC4357 OEM Board and in general as little as possible on the OEM Base
Board. The push-buttons on the OEM Base Board have grounded shields to minimize the effect of
ESD.
Note that Embedded Artists does not replace boards that have been damaged by ESD.

LPC4357 Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide

2.2.1 ESD sensitivity on JTAG interface
Note that the LPC4357 MCU is sensitive to ESD on the JTAG port. Observe extra care around this.
Make sure the ground of the JTAG interface is connected to the OEM Base Board ground
before even connecting the JTAG interface. Never have the OEM Board unpowered while the
JTAG pod is powered.
2.3 General Handling Care
Handle the LPC4357 OEM Board and OEM Base Board with care. The boards are not mounted in a
protective case/box and are not designed for rough physical handling. Connectors can wear out after
excessive use. The OEM Base Board is designed for prototyping use, and not for integration into an
end-product.
For boards with LCD, do not exercise excessive pressure on the LCD glass area. That will damage the
display. Also, do not apply pressure on the flex cables connecting the LCD/touch screen. These are
relatively sensitive and can be damaged if too much pressure is applied to them.
Note that Embedded Artists does not replace boards where the LCD has been improperly
handled.
2.4 Code Read Protection
The LPC4357 has a Code Read Protection function (specifically CRP3, see datasheet for details) that,
if enabled, will make the LPC4357 impossible to reprogram (unless the user program has implemented
such functionality).
Note that Embedded Artists does not replace LPC4357 OEM boards where the LPC4357 has
CRP3 enabled. It’s the user’s responsibility to not invoke this mode by accident.
2.5 CE Assessment
The LPC4357 Developers Kit (consisting of the LPC4357 OEM Board and OEM Base Board) is CE
marked. See separate CE Declaration of Conformity document.
The LPC4357 Developers Kit is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause
radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
EMC emission test has been performed on the LPC4357 Developers Kit. Standard interfaces like
Ethernet, USB, serial have been in use. General expansion connectors where internal signals are
made available (for example processor pins) have been left unconnected. Connecting other devices to
the product via the general expansion connectors may alter EMC emission. It is the user’s
responsibility to make sure EMC emission limits are not exceeded when connecting other devices to
the general expansion connectors of the LPC4357 Developers Kit.
Due to the nature of the LPC4357 Developers Kit –an evaluation board not for integration into an end-
product –fast transient immunity tests and conducted radio-frequency immunity tests have not been
executed. Externally connected cables are assumed to be less than 3 meters. The general expansion
connectors where internal signals are made available do not have any other ESD protection than from
the chip themselves. Observe ESD precaution.
Note that the LPC4357 OEM board is classified as a component and is hence not CE marked
separately. It can perform different functions in different integrations and it does not have a direct
function. It is therefore not in the scope of the CE Directive. An end product, where an OEM Board is
integration into, is however very likely to need CE marking.

3 LPC4357 OEM Board Design
Please read the LPC4357 OEM Board datasheet and associated schematic for information about the
board. Some additional information about the LPC4357 OEM Board is presented below.
3.1 Memory Layout
The external memory controller on the LPC4357 defines eight memory regions. See table below for
details about usage.

It is however possible
to disable NAND flash
chip by removing R25
on LPC4357 OEM
Board.
Static memory #2
CS2
0x1E00 0000 –
0x1EFF FFFF
Available for external
use.
OEM Base Board can
connect a 16-bit parallel
register to this chip
select.
Static memory #3
CS3
0x1F00 0000 –
0x1FFF FFFF
Available for external
use.
Dynamic memory #0
DYCS0
0x2800 0000 –
0x2FFF FFFF

MByte in size)
Cannot be accessed on
external memory bus.
Dynamic memory #1
DYCS1
0x3000 0000 –
0x3FFFF FFFF
Cannot be accessed on
external memory bus.
As seen in the table above, it is only the static memory regions that are available on the external
memory bus from the LPC4357 OEM Board. The data bus buffers on the LPC4357 OEM Board are
controlled automatically and only enabled when a static memory region is accessed. The address and
control bus buffers are always enabled.
Note that the BLS0, BLS1, BLS2 and BLS3 pins must be initialize for these functionalities. Else the
buffer control will not work correctly.
3.1.1 NAND Flash
Note that the NAND flash is connected after the memory bus buffers, i.e., on the same side as the
LPC4357 OEM Board expansion signals. This is to allow flexibility in NAND flash usage and reduce
loading on memory bus that is directly connected to the SDRAM.

LPC4357 Developer’s Kit - User’s Guide
Page 11

The NAND FLASH has an optional busy output that can be used for controlling the erase/program
operations with better precision. The signal is available on the expansion connector. If needed, the
signal can be routed to a suitable (i.e., free) input pin. The OEM Base Board can connect the signal to
GPIO72 by inserting a jumper between pin 3-4 on JP2. The busy status of the chip is also available
under software control.
3.2 SPIFI
There is a 16 MBit QSPI flash connected to the SPIFI interface of the LPC4357. This memory region is
available in the following address region: 0x1400 0000 –0x1800 0000.
3.3 Bootloader Mode Setting
There are several boot modes for the LPC4357 microcontroller. For details, read the LPC4357 User’s
manual. The LPC4357 OEM board has four sliders switches, JP1, where the boot mode can bet set.
Note that there are situations where the slider switch settings do not affect boot more. Read the
LPC4357 User’s manual for details about this, but in general the slider settings will be used to
determine the boot mode when P2_7 is pulled low during reset. This is accomplished by pulling pin
ISP_EN low, which in turn is accomplished by pressing SW6 on the OEM base board during reset. If
signal P2_7 is high during reset the LPC4357 boos from internal FLASH by default.
Schematic page 2 of the LPC4357 OEM board contains a list of the boot modes and associated slider
settings for JP1.
LED3 on the LPC4357 OEM board is connected to signal P1_1-A6-BS0, and is used by the
microcontroller to signal possible errors during booting. LED3 will flash with a 1 Hz rate for 60 seconds
if the boot process fails. After 60 seconds, the device is reset.
Slider switch JP1 is found on the top side of the LPC4357 OEM board, in the upper left corner.

3.4 Trace Connector
There is a connector on the top side of the LPC4357 OEM board, carrying all signals needed for
debugging with trace. It is a standard 20 pos (50 mil pitch) trace connector as defined by ARM. Figure
1 illustrates where J1 is located on the board.
There is a trace connector on the OEM Base Board also, but this shall not be used for trace on the
LPC4357. It was not possible to get compatible pinning with other OEM boards. Instead J1 was added
to the design to support trace. Debugging without trace can be done either via J1 (on the LPC4357
OEM board) or the 10 pos debug connector (J7) on the OEM Base Board.
3.5 I2S and SGPIO Connectors
There are two 20-pos, 50 mil pitch connectors on the top side of the LPC4357 OEM board. See Figure
1 for location. These connectors carry selected I2S, I2C, SGPIO and SCT signals and can be used to
connect these signals to a separate expansion boards. For example an audio and video expansion
board. Note that some of the signals can be used on the OEM base board. Before using the signals,
always check for possible contentions.
3.6 uSD Memory Card Interface
There is a uSD/transflash memory card interface connector, J2, on the bottom side of the board. See
Figure 2 . LED2, on the top side, lights when the interface is powered. See Figure 1to locate LED2.
The signals on the SODIMM edge connector that are normally allocated for memory card interface (on
other OEM boards) carry other signals on the LPC4357 OEM board that have no relation to the
memory card interface.

3.7 Board Options
The schematic for the LPC4357 OEM Board show some different mounting options, mainly via SJx
jumpers but also some resistors that are not mounted per default. The design has been prepared for
customized versions for different needs.
3.8 1 kBit I2C E2PROM with EUI-48™ Number
The LPC4357 OEM Board contains a small E2PROM, 24AA02E48 from Microchip that can be
accessed via I2C. The chip contains a globally unique 48-bit number (EUI-48™) that can be used as
Ethernet MAC address. See the 24AA02E48 datasheet for details.

This chapter contains information about the peripherals and general design of the OEM Base Board
and how to set the different jumpers on the board. The schematic can be downloaded in pdf format
from the support page, and is recommended to have printed out while reading this chapter.
Section naming begins with SPx, which is short for Schematic Page x.
The picture below gives an overview of the OEM Base Board design.

4.2 SP2: OEM Board Connector
The LPC4357 OEM board connector is a standard DDR2 SO-DIMM socket with 200 positions and
0.6mm pitch. It has 1.8V keying (which is what DDR2 stands for). The JEDEC standard defining the
DDR2 SODIMM boards is called JEDEC MO-224.
The signal names are general and represent the OEM base board functionality, rather than the
LPC4357 signal names. This is because the OEM base board also supports other OEM boards.
4.3 SP2: Current Measurements
It is possible to accurately measure current consumption of the LPC4357 OEM board. This can be very
valuable when working with applications that make use of the low power modes of the LPC4357
processors. The circuit is based on the chip ZXCT1010 from Diodes/Zetex. This chip generates a
voltage output proportional to the current through R2. This voltage can be measured over J2. 100mA
gives a 500mV output voltage, or expressed differently, 1mV correspond to 0.2mA
It is possible to remove R1, R2 and/or R3 for measuring current with an external multimeter. Note that
VCC_MAIN and VCC_BUFFERS are connected on the LPC4357 OEM board so there is no difference
between these supplies. This division has been done for compatibility with other OEM boards.
Figure 4 –Current Measurement J2
4.4 SP3: Expansion Connectors
All relevant OEM board signals are available for external use via three 64 pos IDC expansion
connectors; J3, J4 and J5. The expansion connectors are close to the SO-DIMM connectors to
minimize signal distortion.
Note that some OEM board circuits may need to be disconnected before externally used. Carefully
investigate the need for this before using a signal for external expansion.
Note that J4 has gathered all needed signals for expanding the memory bus (16-bit bus expansion). J4
is the expansion connector closest to the board edge. For 32-bit memory bus expansion, J3 is also
needed (for the upper 16 bits of the databus).

Figure 5 –Expansion Connectors J3, J4, J5
4.5 SP4: External Memory Bus
This part of the OEM Base Board demonstrates how the external memory bus can be used for
expansion of custom circuits. Two different devices are connected to the memory bus; a 16-bit parallel
NOR flash and a 16-bit register.
In order to be universal between 16- and 32-bit databus width OEM Boards, only the lower 16 bits are
connected.
The 16-bit parallel NOR flash is enabled when JP1 is inserted, see picture below for guidance where to
find JP1 on the OEM Base Board. Note that the signal name is cryptic since the OEM Base Board is
compatible with many different OEM Board. For the LPC4357 OEM Board, the signal BCSY is actually
signal BCS0. This means that the NOR flash is accessible in memory region: 0x1C00 0000 - 0x1CFF
FFFF.
Also, a 16-bit register is connected to the external memory bus. The 16 bits in the register directly
drives 16 LEDs (a high signal light a LED). The signals are also available on an expansion connector
(J6). It can for example connect to a logic analyzer, for high-bandwidth logging. The upper and lower 8
bits are individually writeable. Signals BBLS0/BBLS1 controls the lower and upper 8 bits, respectively.
Since the OEM Base Board is universal and supports many different OEM Boards, the chip select
signal is either signal BCSX or GPIO69. For the LPC4357 OEM Board, the signal BCSX is actually
Expansion Connectors

signal BCS2. This means that the register is accessible in memory region: 0x1E00 0000 - 0x1EFF
FFFF. No jumper in JP2 is needed when working with the LPC4357 OEM Board.
SJ12 shall be in default position (pad 1-2 shorted) to let BCS2 control chip select of the 16-bit register.
SJ1 controls the output enable of the register. By default it is grounded (pad 1-2 is shorted) and hence
the register drives the LEDs and expansion connector, J6.
Figure 6 –External Memory Bus Circuit
4.6 SP5: Debug Interfaces
Note that the LPC4357 MCU is sensitive to ESD on the JTAG port. Observe extra care around this.
Make sure the ground of the JTAG interface is connected to the OEM Base Board ground
before even connecting the JTAG interface. Never have the OEM Board unpowered while the
JTAG pod is powered.
The multiple debug interfaces can look complex, but that is just because the board supports many
different OEM Boards. The connectors are:
J7 –this is the new and smaller footprint standard ARM debug connector. It has 2x5 pins in
50 mil pitch. The connector supports both the SWD and JTAG interfaces. Note that not all,
and in particular older, JTAG debug probes do not support the SWD interface standard.
Note where pin 1 is found (see picture below) for this connector.
J8 –this is the old and big footprint standard ARM debug connector. It has 2x10 pins in 100
mil pitch. The connector supports both the SWD and JTAG interfaces. Note that not all, and in
particular older, JTAG debug probes do not support the SWD interface.
J9 –this is the old and big footprint 38 pin Mictor connector for ETM trace for the LPC2478.
This connector is not mounted. It is not used when working with the LPC4357 OEM board.
The connector can be soldered to the board if needed. The connector can be bought from

J10 –this is the new and smaller footprint standard ARM Cortex-M3/M4 connector for trace. It
carries the trace signals as well as the debug signals found on J7. Note that this connector
is not used when working with the LPC4357. Instead a 20 pos trace connector, J1,
exists on the LPC4357 OEM board itself.
When working with the LPC4357 OEM Board, J7 is typically used. If an older and big footprint JTAG
debug pod is used, J8 can alternatively be used.
If trace is also used, use the connector J1 on the LPC4357 OEM board. Note that this requires an
advanced JTAG probe that supports trace.
Note that JP4 shall be shorted in order to enable the JTAG/SWD interface on the LPC4357. JP4
might not be inserted by default on the OEM Base Board.
JP3 is not used for debug purposes when working with the LPC4357 OEM Board.

4.7 SP6: Ethernet Interface
The board has an Ethernet interface, J11, which is a RJ45 connector with integrated magnetics. There
is also provision on the board for connecting a PoE interface. All signals can be accessed via
expansion pads, J12. Five 0 ohm resistors have to be removed in that case for isolating J11 from the
new connector (this is because J11 is not capable of handling a PoE interface so a new RJ45
connector must added). See picture below for where to find the relevant components on the board.
Figure 8 –Debug Interfaces
PoE modules that can be used for testing can for example be found at
http://www.silvertel.com/poe_products.htm. Select a version delivering +5V with enough current
capability for the specific application in mind. For example, using USB Host with power hungry external
devices will require more current. In most situations a 9-10W module will be sufficient.
Besides the PoE module, a RJ45 capable of handling PoE is also needed.

4.8 SP6: SD/MMC Memory Card Interface
The board has a SD/MMC memory card interface, J13. Note that this interface SHALL NOT be used
for accessing the MCI peripheral interface of the LPC4350. Instead, there is a uSD/transflash memory
card interface on the bottom side of the LPC4357 OEM board.
There is visual indication via LED2 on the LPC4357 OEM board that supply voltage to the memory
card is present.
