1. Introduction
LPCXpresso is a new, low-cost development platform available from NXP. The software
consists of an enhanced, Eclipse-based IDE, a GNU C compiler, linker, libraries, and an
enhanced GDB debugger. The hardware consists of the LPCXpresso development board
which has an LPC-Link debug interface and an NXP LPC ARM-based microcontroller
target. LPCXpresso is an end-to-end solution enabling embedded engineers to develop
their applications from initial evaluation to final production.

The LPCXpresso IDE, powered by Code Red Technologies (
), is based on the popular Eclipse development platform and includes several
LPC-specific enhancements. It is an industry-standard GNU toolchain with an optimized
C library that gives engineers all the tools necessary to develop high-quality software
solutions quickly and cost-effectively. The C programming environment includes
professional-level features. There is syntax coloring, source formatting, function folding,
on- and offline help, and extensive project management automation.

The LPCXpresso target board, jointly developed by NXP, Code Red Technologies, and
Embedded Artists (
Embedded Artists (
), includes an
integrated JTAG debugger (LPC-Link), so there’s no need for a separate JTAG debug
probe. The target portion of the board can connect to expansion boards to provide a
greater variety of interfaces, and I/O devices. The on-board LPC-Link debugger provides
a high-speed USB to JTAG/SWD interface to the IDE and it can be connected to other
debug targets such as a customer prototype. Users can also use the LPCXpresso IDE
with the Red Probe JTAG adapter from Code Red Technologies.
