A comprehensive software platform has been created for the LPC4088 Display Module.
The on-board debug interface allows you to get started immediately with program development.
Free on-line mbed-compiler, free LPCXpresso IDE or Keil/ARM uVision IDE can be used for program development.
Three different graphical packages can be used:
SWIM - a free and simple framework from NXP.
TouchGFX - enabled modern, Smartphone look-and-feel user interfaces on resource-limited embedded systems.
emWin - a high-performance library with a free version for NXP microcontrollers.
mbed
The LPC4088 Display Module is mbed enabled - meaning that the board takes full advantage of the mbed framework.
The mbed Software Development Kit (SDK), which is an open source C/C++ microcontroller software platform designed for a suitable level of hardware abstraction to simplify MCU programming.
The mbed Compiler is a online IDE that is tightly integrated with the mbed SDK and Developer's Website (develop.mbed.org, see below).
The mbed Hardware Development Kit (HDK), which is an interface design that provides simple USB drag-n-drop programming and CMSIS-DAP debug interface for the LPC4088 microcontroller.
The mbed.org community, with extensive documentation in the form of handbooks, cookbooks, project pages, User Forums for getting help and advice from other mbed users, etc.
