LPCXpresso IDE
This Eclipse-based software development
environment, powered by Code Red, includes
all the tools necessary to develop high-quality
software solutions in less time and with a lower
budget. Along with the latest version of the
industry-standard Eclipse GNU toolchain, the IDE
includes a proprietary, optimized C library, and can
be used to build an executable of any size, with full
code optimization.
The LPC-Link debugger board
LPCXpresso development boards
Our LPCXpresso target boards, jointly developed by NXP, Code Red, and Embedded Artists, include an
integrated JTAG debugger, so there’s no need for a separate JTAG debug probe. The target portion of the
board can connect to expansion boards for access to a number of interfaces and I/O devices. The on-board
JTAG debugger provides a high-speed USB-to-JTAG/SWD interface to the IDE, and it can be connected to
other debug targets, including a customer target. The LPCXpresso IDE also works with the Red Probe JTAG
adapter from Code Red.
LPC-Link™ debugger board
The JTAG/SWD debugger board, called LPC-Link, is equipped with a 10-pin JTAG header and seamlessly
connects to a target via USB. Cutting the traces between the LPC-Link and the target makes the LPC-Link a
standalone JTAG debugger, so you can connect the LPCXpresso platform to an external target for use with a
wide variety of ARM-based applications.
LPCXpresso support
If you have questions about using an LPCXpresso board, answers are easy to find. We have a dedicated site
for LPCXpresso support (www.nxp.com/lpcxpresso-support), and there are more than 5,000 community
members on the LPCXpresso forum (www.nxp.com/lpcxpresso-forum), ready to share their tips and expertise.
