Hello everyone I am Chris, the Field Application Engineer from Nuvoton Technology. Today I will introduce the programming and debugging tool, called NuLink-Gang, and NuLink2-Pro. And I will show you in what kind of situation you can utilize the tools. During system development, Nuvoton provides three IDE interfaces: KEIL, IAR, and NuEclipse for user to develop source code. When programming the Chip, Nuvoton provides ICP programming Tool in PC and the debugger Nu-Link2-Pro for users to perform debugging and programming function. User who uses all of the Nuvoton Nu-Maker boards series can develop through the Nu-Link2-Me debugger and programmer; it’s attached to the board. During the mass-production stage, there are 2 modes for programming the target chip. One is online programming and the other is offline programming. At first, in online programming mode, user can use ICP programming Tool and a Nu-Link2-Pro to program a target chip. Besides, if it needs to program several chips at one times, the Nu-Link Command Tool supports program multiple develop board by several Nu-Link2-Pro. Nu-Link2-Pro also supports drag-and-drop Flash programming. User can intuitively complete the programming action. Nu-Link2-Pro In offline programming mode, user can pre-store the programming file in SPI flash, USB flash drive, or SD card. When user wants to program the target chip, pressing the programming button on Nu-Link2-Pro to complete the programming action. If it needs a large number of ICs to be programming, it recommends using the Nu-Link-Gang programmer. Nu-Link-Gang programmer can perform offline programming on four different chips at a time, significantly increasing the programming efficiency. Besides, Nu-Link-Gang programmer can also use the control bus to connect with an automatic programming machine for automatic programming. In the system upgrade, Nu-Link2-Pro also provides five standard communication interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, RS485, and CAN for transmission, which is convenient for users to upgrade the system. That’s all for the introduction of Nuvoton’s programming and debugging tool, NuLink-Gang, and NuLink2-Pro. Thank you for watching it. If you want to know more details, please contact us!

Hello everyone, I am Morgan, the principal engineer of Nuvoton Technology. Today, I will show you how to use 4G LTE or NB-IoT with Mbed OS on NuMaker-IoT-M487 development board. This tutorial needs a cellular expansion board to work with NuMaker-IoT-M487 development board. You can purchase the 4G LTE expansion board, RF-EC21A, on Nuvoton Direct (https://direct.nuvoton.com/communication-module/). Please install your 4G LTE SIM card in the mini SIM card slot on the back, and install the antenna at the MAIN connector on the front of the board. Although there is an NB-IoT expansion board, it requires an NB-IoT SIM card. Using LTE is more convenient. Just use your own LTE SIM card which has data plan. Then install the expansion board to the Arduino UNO connector of the NuMaker-IoT-M487 development board. Because the power consumption of the 4G LTE module is higher, it is not enough to supply power from USB only. You need to plug in the 5V/2A power supply. If you use NB-IoT module, no additional power supply is needed. We used “New” to select a template to create a new project. This time, we use the example on GitHub to create a new project. The URL of template used for this tutorial is https://github.com/OpenNuvoton/NuMaker-mbed-Cellular-example In chrome browser, enter the URL https://ide.mbed.com to use Mbed Online Compiler environment. After you log in, make sure that NuMaker-IoT-M487 board already selected in the upper right corner. If not, please refer Nuvoton IoT Tutorial series “Get Started with Mbed OS” which has a detailed description of how to add a board. Click the second option “Import” on the upper left. In the Import Wizard, click “Click here” On the “Source URL:”, enter the tempalte URL https://github.com/OpenNuvoton/NuMaker-mbed-Cellular-example . Then move mouse cursor to “Import Name:” and click it, the Project name will be automatically fill in. Then click “Import” button. Now you can see that the sample code has loaded. Depending on the cellular module used, the configuration may need to be modified. Click on “Readme.md” to open it. It lists configurations for supported cellular modules. Because the tutorial uses RF-EC21A expansion board which includes a Quectel EC21 LTE module, let’s check and modify the configuration in mbed_app.json file. Click the “mbed_app.json” file to open it. It is a JSON file to customize compile time configuration parameters in Mbed OS. The “*” (asterisk) in “target_overrides” session indicates all development boards are applicable. You can set in the designated board session, so the settings are only applicable to the specified board. The default mbed_app.json file in the example has configured for RF-EC21A. Such as, "target.network-default-interface-type" has set to "CELLULAR" for cellular connection. Both "lwip.ppp-enabled” and "lwip.tcp-enabled" set to true. Use generic AT3GPP driver for RF-EC21A ("GENERIC_AT3GPP.provide-default": true) And the RF-EC21A UART connects on Arduino D0/D1 ("GENERIC_AT3GPP.tx": "D1" and "GENERIC_AT3GPP.rx": "D0") When your SIM card installed in your mobile phone, you can find the APN, username and password settings in your mobile phone. Or contact your telecom operator to get this information. In the example, APN has set to “internet”, no username, and no password. (Move mouse cursor around these settings) The final setting to check is PIN code. In the example, the setting is no PIN code. If your SIM card has PIN code, for example 1234, please set it like this “\”1234\”” (Move mouse cursor around the setting) Save it then build it. It is in compiling, please wait a moment. Then you can see the last message is “Success!”. The browser will download the binary firmware file directly after a successful compiling. It will be saved in a default download folder or the folder based on your browser setting. In Chrome, you can click download file and select “Show in folder”. Then we connect the NuMaker-IoT-M487 USB port to your computer and don’t forget to plug in external 5V power supply. Please find the virtual COM port assigned for NuMaker-IoT-M487 in Device Manager. In the demonstration, the “Nu-Link Virtual Com Port” is COMx. Then use your favorite terminal tool. Here we use Putty. Open the COMx port with 115200 baud rate, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, none parity, and no flow control settings. Then “Open” it. Let’s back to the download folder where you can see the binary firmware file (NuMaker-mbed-Cellular-example.NUMAER_IOT_M487.bin). Drag and drop the file to NuMicro MCU drive. You will see the copying progress dialog box. You can see the connection messages printed on terminal. It shows that the board creates a TCP connection to server “echo.mbedcloudtesting.com”, send 4 bytes data and get the data back from server. That’s all for this tutorial. Thank you.

Secure Smart Metering Communication Reference Design Hi everybody, today we are going to introduce a reference design of Smart-Metering communication card based on NuMicro M2351 Series microcontroller. You can find useful security features based on the Arm Cortex-M23 CPU core with Nuvoton’s in-house technology integration. The auto-metering is an infrastructure for automatic, remotely, wire or wireless meter data reading. It’s highly possible to be intervened if there is no security mechanism. That is a very typical IoT security issue in the IoT era. In many countries, there are a lot of Auto-Metering Infrastructure (AMI) projects being undertaken by main electricity power companies worldwide. Most projects start from upgrading the communication modem cards as the first step rather than retiring the meters. The modem card can play as a gateway to monitor the incorrect device operation and data transmission security. Issues of modem card security are covering: First, a limited performance due to crypto computation efficiency Second, speed limitation due to interface choice The third, cost burden due to extra hardware modules for different communication protocols Nuvoton’s reference design of Secure Smart Meter Communication is an end-to-end security solution for AMI. With the collaboration with SPI-Korea, the solution incorporates a lot of advantages such as TrustZone security for firmware, a range of interfaces for device communication, secure over-the-air firmware update, and remote management. With the complete hardware specification of M2351, a security software company, SPI-Korea, can easily implement their secure AMI solution for modem card which connects meters and cloud servers. M2351 also contributes the crypto acceleration during the cryptographic computing in order to save CPU time for different communication protocol modules by its powerful hardware functionalities during message transmission outside of a microcontroller unit. SPI-Korea has developed a range of Armv8-M TrustZone based technologies. Her expertise covers Boot Manager, Key Manager, and Device Manager, which is very useful for microcontroller security and certainly shows the stability of a microcontroller device. Also, they are certified by Korea Electricity Company. We hope this successful experience can be further adopted in other areas worldwide because it’s a secure, accurate and environmentally safe solution for AMI. This slide is a picture for SPI-Korea AMI modem card design. NuMicro Family microcontrollers can be utilized for designs of auto-metering infrastructure devices. We start from AMI modem card and we are confident to support meters of any next-generation of AMI. We now integrate M23-based microcontroller with M4-based or Arm9-based microcontroller as a proposal for next-generation modem card of Korea AMI and we hope to provide high-performing cost-effective solution for all AMI devices in the future. - For more information, please visit Nuvoton Technology Website: https://bit.ly/3hVdcmC contact us: SalesSupport@nuvoton.com
