Learning to program with MCB-STR9 Evalution board by uVision3. HOW TO DO?

I am a starter in microcontroller programming. I understand programming but first I am starting with Keil uVision3-software and Evaluation board MCB-STR9. Is there any user guide or tutorial which could help me to start and program and see results on board. I could not find online. Can someone help me please?...
Thanks...

  • Where is you're sense of adventure?
    I have no problem with adventure, but if I were to take up mountain climbing, I would not start at Mt Everest

    It would surprise me if even a virgin hardware experimenter would fail to manage to get something like this going.
    if done as the schematic show, it will, most likey not work, where are the decoupling caps

    I suppose you would want to plug in your logic analysers, ICE etc before you could get blinky going reliably.
    as a professional, I use whatever tools that makes the issue get resolved the fastest, 'want to' does not apply

  • I'm pretty sure the processor will run fine without decoupling capacitors.

    The current consumption is tiny. And it has an internal RC oscillator that is less sensitive than an external crystal. And it has quite a bit of safety margin on the supply voltage.

    The issue with it is that it has no reset circuit, so it will fail when power is slowly going down or is having a short dip.

    Note that "as a professional" doesn't apply to hobbyists. Good methodology can apply. How to try to design and document before starting to write code can work. But there are often a much different priority between money and saved own time. 10 extra hours looking for problems can be a better choice than paying $50 - because the real alternatives may be 10 hours searching for troubles or not doing anything at all.

    Do you really think that the familiarisation of an LPC1114FN28 is anything like the effort required in climbing Mt Everest?
