LPCXpresso is a low-cost development platform for NXP’s Arm-based microcontrollers. In addition to hardware boards it includes a quite nice eclipse-based IDE, which seems to use gcc as compiler. I really haven’t bothered very much about it myself until another hobbyist asked me about tips for running Pico]OS -based applications in that environment for his LPC1769 board.
I myself have been using Eclipse CDT (3.8 currently) and Yagarto (arm gcc toolchain for windows environment). I don’t have a LPC1769 board myself, but instead I have an Olimex LPC-1343 board I have used to test cortex-m port of Pico]OS. Both are cortex-m3 boards so they should be suitable for testing basic architecture functionality. Continue reading “LPCXpresso IDE & Pico]OS”
