Evaluation Board for NXP LPC2900 family of ARM9 processor-based devices
The ARM968E-S based MCB2929 Evaluation Board allows you to generate and test application programs for the NXP LPC29xx microcontroller family. With this hands-on process, you can determine the hardware and software requirements for current and future product development. The MCB2929 has a wide range of interfaces making it a great starting point for your next ARM project.
The MCB2929 Evaluation Board ships with the LPC2929 device that is a superset of several other device variants of the LPC29xx microcontroller series. The MCB2929 Board contains all the hardware components required in a single-chip LPC29xx system. The MCB2929 Evaluation Board also includes a 320x240 TFT LCD QVGA color display module with a built-in touchscreen.
The MCB2929 Evaluation Board and Starter Kit include the MDK-ARM Evaluation Tools. These tools help you get started writing programs and testing the microcontroller and its capabilities.

Features
Processor
- 125MHz LPC2929 ARM968E-S processor-based MCU in 144-pin LQFP (On-Chip Memory: 768KB Flash, 56KB RAM, & 16KB EEPROM)
Color LCD
- A 320x240 TFT LCD color VGA display module is accessible via 16-bit RGB interface.
Serial Port
- A standard DB9 connector is on the MCB2929 board for the LPC2929's built-in UART interfaces. Your application may use this full duplex, serial port, if required.
CAN/LIN Ports
- 2 DB9 connectors for either CAN or LIN communications.
USB Ports
- Standard USB connectors for USB Device, USB-OTG, USB Host and UART via USB on the MCB2929 board for applications requiring USB communications.
Joystick
