IAR releases starter kit for NXP’s LPC1780 MCUs

IAR's KickStart Kit for LPC1788 is a complete starter kit for NXP’s ARM Cortex-M3 based LPC1780 microcontroller family. The kit includes an evaluation board, software development tools, an IAR J-Link Lite debug probe, and software, and a high level of integration between hardware, software and tools in combination with pre-configured example projects and board support packages from various RTOS vendors.

The evaluation board is fitted with an LPC1788 microcontroller, a 3.5’’ color TFT touch screen, connectors for USB host, USB OTG, Ethernet and CAN, audio in and out, and other peripherals. Debug connectors for ETM trace, SWD and JTAG are also included.

The included IAR J-Link Lite debug probe provides JTAG and SWD debug interfaces. Added debug capabilities can be enabled by separate debug probes. IAR J-Trace enables full instruction trace, and IAR J-Link Ultra enables power debugging features in IAR Embedded Workbench. Both probes are sold separately.

IAR KickStart Kit for LPC1788 is prepared for use with IAR Embedded Workbench.
