Overview

Embest SBC1788SBC1788 Single Board Computer is a compact industrial controller board based on NXP’s LPC1788FBD208LPC1788FBD208 ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller which can be run at up to 120MHz with 512KB of internal Flash memory, 96KB of internal SRAM, 4KB of internal EEPROM, a 10/100 Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC), a USB full speed device/host/OTG controller, four UARTs, two CAN channels and a collection of serial communications interfaces.

The SBC1788SBC1788 board also has external 128MB Nand Flash and 32MB SDRAM. It takes advantage of the full features of the LPC1788 microcontroller and exposes many hardware features through headers or connectors including UARTs, USB, Ethernet, CAN, LCD, I2C, SPI, PWM, ADC to meet various applications.

Embest has ported uC/OS-II to support their Cortex-M3 SBC1788SBC1788 board and the software also features the GUI support on uC/OS-II and LwIP_v1.4.0 protocol support. Embest provides the uC/OS-II BSP along with plenty of software examples, board schematics and a user manual to help customers better understand this board and develop their own applications.

The LPC1788 is a Cortex-M3 microcontroller for embedded applications featuring a high level of integration and low power consumption at frequencies of 120 MHz. Features include 512 kB of flash memory, 96 kB of data memory, Ethernet, USB 2.0 Host/OTG/Device , 8-channel DMA controller, 5 UARTs, 2 CAN channels, 3 SSP/SPI, 3 I2C, I2S, 8-channel 12-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, QEI, LCD controller, SD/MMC interface, motor control PWM, 4 general purpose timers, 6-output general purpose PWM, ultra-low power Real-Time Clock with separate battery supply, and up to 165 general purpose I/O pins.
