LPC2478-16 Developer's Kit

Embedded Artists' LPC2478 Developer's Kit lets you get up-and-running quickly with the LPC2478 OEM Board. The LPC2478 OEM Board is equipped with NXP's ARM7TDMI-S based LPC2478 microcontroller suitable for a wide range of applications that requires advanced communication and high quality graphic displays.

The Kit is perfect for running uClinux with its large on-board RAM and Flash, network and graphics capabilities.

Focus on your value-added application by using this Developer's Kit as your prototyping platform. It includes the software components needed to get up-and-running with your software development on day 1.

When you are finished with prototyping and/or evaluation you can easily transfer your application and the OEM Board into production.
