INTRODUCTION TO NUMAKER NUC980 IIOT BOARD
The NuMaker NUC980 IIoT is a development board based on an ARM® ARM926EJ-S
microprocessor NUC980DK61Y which has very rich peripherals to help users easily to design-in
their products or application systems.
The NuMaker NUC980 IIoT board uses NUC980DK61Y microprocessor run up to 300 MHz with
built-in 64MB DDR2 memory, 16 KB I-cache, 16 KB D-cache and MMU, 16 KB embedded SRAM
and 16.5 KB IBR (Internal Boot ROM) for system booting from USB, SPI NAND flash and
SD/eMMC, All functions of the NUC980DK61Y are placed on the board, including peripheral
interfaces such as memory (SPI NAND Flash, eMMC, SD), UART, Audio controller(NAU8822L),
10/100 Mb Ethernet MAC controller, high speed USB(device, HOST), JTAG and EBI, furthermore,
the board provides Arduino Uno compatible interface for expansion. Users can use it to develop
and verify applications to emulate the real behavior.
NuMaker NUC980 IIoT Board Features
NUC980DK61Y: LQFP128 pin MCP package with DDR2 (64 MB), which can run up to
300MHz operating speed
SPI Flash: Quad mode system booting or data storage, use W25N01GVZE1G SPI-NAND
(128 MB)
SD1/eMMC1: User SD/eMMC memory card for system booting, data storage or SDIO (Wi-
Fi) device
UART0: Connected to Virtual COM port for system development, debug message output
Arduino Uno compatible interface connectors (NU1, NU2, NU3, NU4 and NU5)
JTAG interface provided for software development
RJ45 port with Ethernet 10/100Mbps MAC (Ethernet0)
EBI interface with pin header
Microphone input and Earphone/Speaker output with 24-bit stereo audio codec (NAU8822L)
for I2S interfaces
3 sets of LED for status indication
2 sets of user-configurable push button keys
USB port-0 that can be used as Device/HOST and USB port-1 that can be used as HOST
Supports pen drives, keyboards, mouse and printers
Provides over-voltage and over current protection
3.3V I/O power, 1.8V Memory power and 1.2V core pow

NUC980 LINUX BSP INTRODUCTION
NUC980 Linux BSP provides cross compilation tools based on Linux operating system. We have
tested this BSP in different x86 Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, CentOS, and Debian…etc.
Because there are so many distributions out there with different system configuration, sometimes
it is necessary to change system setting or manually install some missing component in order to
cross compile.
Linux development environment could either be native, or install in a virtual machine execute on
top of other operating system.
For more detailed on how to download and install VMware virtual machine, please refer to “NUC980
Linux 3.10 BSP User Manual EN” in the “Documents”directory.

2. Insert the 5V adapter (CON1)
3. Plug in the USB cable (CON9)
The burning tool requires a NuWriter driver to be installed on PC first. Please follow the steps below
to install the driver.
Please visit nuvoTon’s NuMicro™ website (http://www.nuvoton.com/hq/products/microprocessors/arm9-
mpus/Software/?__locale=en&resourcePage=Y) to download the “NUC980 NON-OS BSP”. Run the
“WinUSB4NuVCOM.exe”before the USB cable is plugged in. The “WinUSB4NuVCOM.exe”can
be found in the “Tool”directory. Power on the NUC980 Series MPU EVB and plug the USB cable
into PC, the Windows shall find a new device and then request to install its driver. Simply follow the
installation and optional steps to install USB Driver, included VCOM driver.
