Kit Overview

mX-BaseBoardmX-BaseBoard is a new addition to the BlueBoard line from NGX Technologies and desiged to evaluate NXP's LPCXpresso boards. This board is intended to extend the functionality of the LPCXpresso board. It can also be used with NGX mX-Stamp boards with controllers like LPC2148LPC2148, LPC1768LPC1768, LPC1343LPC1343, LPC1114LPC1114, etc. mX-BaseBoardmX-BaseBoard and Stamp modules together serve as an excellent platform to evaluate various architectures like ARM7, CORTEX-M3, CORTEX-M0... etc. mX-BaseBoard can be used to extend the features of the stamp by providing connectors and interface to various peripherals of the stamp and provide power to the peripheral interface. mbed-Xpresso Base board has various peripherals with configurable jumpers. Two 33 pin expansion dual row header connectors (P9-P11) and (P10-P12) (male-female, 100mil pitch) for simple connection to breadboard.

The mX-BaseBoardmX-BaseBoard makes it possible for you to get started with experiments and prototyping immediately. The Baseboard can also be used together with the mbed module. It is compatible with the NGX series of mX-LPCxxxx-S (S symbolizes Stamps), LPCXpresso boards and with the mbed module. It is designed keeping in mind the requirements of a development engineer, who could be working on different controllers but would prefer the same peripheral interface or a company working on different products using different controller and would not prefer to invest huge amount in individual boards or a hobby enthusiast who would be trying out different controllers but would not be willing to invest in different boards for each controller. For all these, the user can buy the required stamp module and work on this board.

Key Applications: Industrial, RFID readers, Consumer, e-Metering, and White goods.

Supplied Development Tools:

Type	Description
	LPCXpresso IDE: Includes best-in-class C programming environment with advanced features such as syntax highlighting, code folding, click-through links to definitions and declarations. The optimized GCC compiler and C libraries for the Cortex-M0 enables users to develop high-quality software solutions quickly and cost-effectively. The IDE features several LPC-specific enhancements and is simplified for 8/16 bit users with NXP’s proprietary interface which employs a single perspective view, enabling a seamless interconnect between code development & debugging. The latest version of the IDE is always downloaded from the LPCXpresso website.
	LPC-Link Debugger: The LPC-Link is equipped with a 10-pin JTAG header, and it seamlessly connects to a target via USB (the USB interface and other debug features are provided by NXP's ARM9 based LPC3154 MCU). Cutting the traces between the LPC-link and the target will make the LPC-Link a stand-alone JTAG debugger. This enables the LPCXpresso platform to be connected to an external target and used to develop for a wide variety of NXP's Cortex-M0, Cortex-M3, and ARM7/9 based applications.The LPC-Link debug probe can also be disconnected from the target and used directly with the customer’s own design using the on-board 10-pin JTAG/SWD header. The LPC-Link uses the LPC3154 as an ARM9-based debug engine, providing an HS USB interface for accelerated code download and faster debugging experience.
