EVSE-SIG-BRD using LPC5536/LPC55S36 for electric vehicle chargers

• The EVSE-SIG-BRD is an add-on development board that supports electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) platform development.
• The board also supports the proximity pilot, ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), and relay drive features.
• The main host of the system is on a separate processor development board, for example, NXP i.MX RT1060 EVK, i.MX 8M Nano EVK, or S32G-VNP-RDB3.
• The ISO 15118 protocol stack and communication software run on the host processor.
• The power-line communication(PLC) path is via the onboard HomePlug Green PHY (HPGP) transceiver (Lumissil IS32CG5317).

Boards: EVSE-SIG-BRD1X

Categories: Security, Low Power, Industrial, Safety

Toolchains: MCUXpresso IDE V11.9.0 or later.

3. Setup

3.1 User need to download/clone the code from the repository.

3.2 To build EVSE simulation software, perform the following steps:

3.2.1 Step 1

• Click Import project(s) from the File Menu and select Import Project of MCUXpresso IDE.

3.2.2 Step 2

• Select Existing Project into Workspace and then either select root directory or archive of the project dm-lpc5536-evse-sigbrd.

3.2.3 Step 3

• As per the selected option either provide the root directory or the *.zip file path.

3.2.3 Step 3

• Click the Finish button.

3.2.4 Step 4

• Click the Build button on the top-left side of the IDE and start building the project. The build should be done without errors.

3.2.5 Step 5

• Click the Start Debugging button on the top-left side of the IDE and start programming the board with the project binary. Once the programming is completed, it breaks at a breakpoint at the main() function of the code.

3.2.5 Step 6

• To resume the operation, click the Run button.

3.3 If user wants to program the board directly then select the binary evsesigbrd_sw_v1.1.5.bin from Binary folder and flash the board using GUI Flash Tool of MCUXpresso IDE.
