NXP: OM11042 mbed LPC2368 Prototyping Board

Kit Overview

The NXP OM11042OM11042 mbed LPC2368FBD100,551LPC2368FBD100,551 Prototyping Board are designed for quick experimentation and iteration, where the focus is trying something out rather than optimising a solution. And that means it is good for anyone from professional embedded engineers to people with expertise outside embedded exploring it for the first time. They give you the ability to compose and compile embedded software using a browser-based IDE, then download it quickly and easily using a simple drag-and-drop function to the board's NXP Semiconductors LPC2368LPC2368 ARM7TDMI MCU. The OM11042 let designers get started right away with nothing to install.

mbed is a tool for Rapid Prototyping with Microcontrollers. The mbed module is a new community-based embedded development tool featuring the NXP ARM based microcontrollers. It allows you to create, compile, and download embedded software for NXP's LPC236x series of MCUs using a browser-based GUI. There is no software to install — everything is online, even the compiler.

mbed Prototyping Benefits

• USB Drag ‘n’ Drop Programming Interface– Nothing to Install:Program by copying binaries to disk and pushing one button– Works on Windows, Linux, Mac, without drivers– Links through to website, enables signup validation
• The mbed Compiler lets you write programs in C++, and then compile and download them to run on the mbed Microcontroller.Entry-level Online Compiler– Nothing to Install:Browser-based IDE– Immediately compiling examples or writing your own– Best in class RealView Compiler in the backend
• High-level Peripheral Abstraction Libraries– No specifics to learn:Instantly under-standable APIs– Object-oriented hardware/software abstraction– Enables experimentation without knowing MCU details.

Key Applications: Medical devices, Peripheral control: printers, scanners, POS, GPS, motors, security devices, servo loops, Network control.
