mbed NXP LPC1768 prototyping board Rapid prototyping for the LPC1768 MCU This board, which works with the groundbreaking mbed tool suite, lets you create a functioning prototype faster than ever. The tightly coupled combination of hardware and software makes it easy to explore designs quickly, so you can be more adventurous, more inventive, and more productive. Features The mbed NXP LPC1768 board lets you create prototypes Convenient form-factor: 40-pin DIP, 0.1-inch pitch without having to work with low-level microcontroller details, Drag-and-drop programming, with the board represented so you can experiment and iterate faster than ever. as a USB drive Best-in-class Cortex-M3 hardware Designers compose and compile embedded software using a - 100 MHz ARM with 64 KB of SRAM, 512 KB of Flash browser-based IDE, then download it quickly and easily, - Ethernet, USB OTG using a simple drag-and-drop function, to the boards 2 - SPI, I C, UART, CAN NXP Cortex-M3 microcontroller LPC1768. - GPIO, PWM, ADC, DAC Easy-to-use online tools Engineers new to embedded applications can use the board - Web-based C/C++ programming environment to prototype real products incorporating microcontrollers, - Uses the ARM RealView compile engine while experienced engineers can use it to be more productive - API-driven development using libraries with intuitive in early stages of development. The mbed tools are designed interfaces to let you try out new ideas quickly, in much the same way that - Comprehensive help and online community an architect uses a pencil and paper to sketch out concepts before turning to an advanced CAD program to implement a Benefits design. Get started right away, with nothing to install Get working fast, using high-level APIs Explore, test, and demonstrate ideas more effectively Write clean, compact code thats easy to modify Log in from anywhere, on Windows, Mac or LinuxElegant simplicity The compiler uses the ARM RealView compile engine, The mbed tool has been designed for the best trade-off so it produces clean, efficient code that can be used between versatility and immediate connectivity. The LPC1768, free-of-charge, even in production. Existing ARM application housed in an LQFP package, is mounted on the mbed board, code and middleware can be ported to the LPC1768 which uses a 40-pin DIP with a 0.1-inch pitch. The convenient micro controller, and the mbed tools can be used alongside form factor works seamlessly with solderless breadboards, other professional production-level tools, such as Keil MDK. stripboards, and PCBs. There is no software to install everything, even the compiler, is online. The compiler and libraries are completely modular, so theyre easy to use, yet powerful enough to take on complex, real-world applications. The mbed Compiler Pinout diagram of mbed NXP LPC1768 board Peripheral libraries Hassle-free startup The mbed Library provides an API-driven approach to Getting started is as simple as using a USB Flash drive. coding that eliminates much of the low-level work normally Simply connect the mbed NXP LPC1768 board to a Windows, associated with MCU code development. You develop code Mac or Linux computer and it will appear as a USB drive. using meaningful peripheral abstractions and API calls that are Follow the link on the board to connect to the mbed website, intuitive and already tested. That frees you up to experiment, where you can sign up and begin designing. There are no without worrying about the implementation of the MCU core drivers to install or setup programs to run. Its so easy, in fact, or its peripherals. You can work faster and be more creative, that you can have a Hello World program running in as little and can concentrate on exploring and testing the options for as five minutes. your design. Online compiler Rather than simply providing examples, mbed focuses on The mbed Compiler lets you write programs in C++ and then reusable library functionality, with clear interfaces and solid compile and download them to run on the mbed NXP LPC1768 implementations. The core mbed Library supports the main microcontroller. Theres no need to run an install or setup LPC1768 peripherals, and the libraries already contributed by program, since the compiler runs online. Supported browsers the mbed design community include USB, TCP/IP, and HTTP include Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, or Chrome running on support. Its also possible to add third-party and open-source a Windows, Mac, or Linux PC. You can log in from anywhere stacks. and simply pick up where you left off. And, since youre working with a web-based tool, you can be confident that its The libraries comply with the ARM EABI and are built on the already configured and will stay up-to-date.
