3 Getting Started
This chapter contains information about how to get acquainted with the AOAA Kit.
Please read this chapter first before start using the board - it will be well spent time!
3.1 Demo Applications
There are three AOA demo application that can be downloaded from the Embedded Artists support
page. The AOAA board is not pre-loaded with any of these demo applications. The reason for this is
that the applications are continuously updated and a pre-loaded application would quickly become
outdated. Precompiled binary images (i.e., hex-files) can be downloaded from the support page. Note
that there are two processors on the AOA board; the LPC1769 and LPC11C24. Normally it is only the
LPC1769 that needs to be updated. The application on the LPC11C24 is the same for all demo
applications and it is also pre-loaded during production test.
The three AOA demo applications are:
1. Application that allows controlling and monitoring the AOAA Board (LPC1769 side) from an
Android device.
2. Application where the Android device can detect CAN nodes (such as the LPC11C24 side of
the AOAA board) in a CAN network. The CAN nodes can be controlled and monitored from
the Android device.
3. Application where the Android device can detect XBee nodes in an XBee network. The XBee
nodes can be controlled and monitored from the Android device.
o XBee nodes are LPC1769 LPCXpresso Boards mounted on LPCXpresso Base
Board. Code for this is also included.
The demo applications include parts of well-known software packages like:
FreeRTOS has been ported to the board and a demo is available that show how to use it.
lwIP v1.4.0 has been ported to the board. The httpserver_raw (webserver) application from
the lwIP contrib package is available with a small modification to use the on-board SD-card
interface instead of the ROM based file system.
FatFs file system module has been ported to the board. The lwIP demo (based on
httpserver_raw) is using this module to access files on an SD card.
nxpUSBlib is available and used in the AOA demos.
