Overview of the LPCXpresso development platform
I got hold of the LPCXpresso development platform. This is a nice, thin 32-bit development platform with a built-in USB programmer for only 20€. The LPCXpresso. On the right is the target board, on the left is the LPC-Link USB JTAG debugger. An interesting design feature of the board is that the LPC-Link USB JTAG debugger portion of the board can be separated from the target and used separately to program NXP's other Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3 and ARM7/9 devices. The separated LPC-Link debugger. Picture: NXP There's three versions of the board. I got the one with the LPC1114 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 microcontroller. They've also made boards with the LPC1343 and the LPC1769 Cortex-M3 controllers. Check the embedded artists homepage for more info about these . This article focuses on the LPC1114 version. The target portion of the chip features the LPC1114, a 12 MHz crystal and some limited prototyping space. The LPC-Link portion of the board has a LPC3154 for the debu...
