   1 # Tools
   2
   3 This folder contains a number of tools that may be useful when developing with
   4 the LPC1343 Reference Board:
   5
   6 ## codelite_debug
   7
   8   A beta version of a plugin that allows you to program the LPC1343 from
   9   CodeLite using GDB Server and a Segger J-Link for ARM (still a work in
  10   progress).  Created by AC Verbeck.
  11
  12 ## dotfactory
  13
  14   An open-source (GPL) Windows-based program to convert TTF fonts to .c
  15   source files.  This application is included here for convenience sake and
  16   can be used to convert TTF fonts for use with the TFT LCD display with
  17   minor modifications to the generated source files.  See the existing fonts
  18   in 'drivers/displays/tft/fonts' for an example.
  19
  20
  21 ## examples
  22
  23   Example software showing how to use the LPC1343 to accomplish certain tasks
  24   or how to use it with external devices, such as communicating with the PC
  25   using USB HID, etc.
  26
  27 ## lpcrc
  28
  29   This utility fixes the CRC of any .bin files generated with GCC from the
  30   command line.  You must use this utility to patch any compiled firmware that
  31   will be deployed via the USB bootloader.
  32
  33   The GCC src is included in the root folder and should build on any platform
  34   where a native GCC toolchain is available.  A pre=compiled windows binary is
  35   included in /bin for convenience sake, as well as in the root folder of the
  36   LPC1343 Code Base.
  37
  38   If you are using the provided CodeLite project files, lpcrc will
  39   automatically be executed after every build.  You only need to run lpcrc if
  40   you are building directly from the command=line.
  41
  42 ## schematics
  43
  44   Schematics showing the pin connections that are assumed to be used by the
  45   LPC1343 Code Base.
  46
  47 ## testfirmware
  48
  49   Various pre-compiled binaires files that can be used to test the
  50   functionality of the LPC1343.  This firmware assumes that the board follows
  51   the layout show in 'tools/schematics'
  52
  53 ## wsbridge
  54
  55   A utility to allow you to pipe 802.15.4 traffic (via Chibi) out to Wireshark
  56   on the PC, so that you can use Chibi as an inexpensive wireless sniffer to
  57   capture and analyse any local 802.15.4 wireless traffic.
