Android Open Accessory Application (AOAA) Kit With On-Board CAN Bus Network

Posted by Industry News on

ANDROID OPEN ACCESSORY APPLICATION (AOAA) KIT by Embedded Artists

The Android Open Accessory Application (AOAA) Kit by Embedded Artists is a standalone platform for evaluation and prototyping electronic accessories for Google’s Android operating system. 

It lets you get up-and-running with AOA experiments immediately. The AOAA board is also suitable for experimenting with CAN, Ethernet and RF networks.

This board contains two microcontrollers from NXP, the LPC1769 and the LPC11C24. The two microcontrollers are connected via an on-board CAN network.

This is a great communication platform with 

  • 100Mbps Ethernet interface
  • CAN interface with on-board CAN network
  • Socket for Digi XBee RF modules

The board has been developed by Embedded Artists in close cooperation with NXP. It contains two microcontrollers from NXP, the LPC1769 (Cortex-M3 core) and LPC11C24 (Cortex-M0 core). The two microcontrollers are connected via an on-board CAN network.

Download code to the board by using:

  • ISP over UART program download. Use the free tool Flash Magic to download a compiled application to the LPC1769 side of the AOAA board. Please note that this tool cannot be used to download code to the LPC11C24 side of the board.
  • Use the free LPCXpresso IDE together with LPC-Link2.
  • Alternatively, use a debugger and JTAG adapter of your choice that supports the Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M0 ARM cores and more specifically the NXP LPC1769 and LPC11C24 microcontrollers. You might need an adapter such as the 10-pin to 20-pin JTAG Adpater Kit between your JTAG solution and the target board.
