Embedded Artists' LPC4088 QuickStart Board is an easy to use ARM Cortex-M4 rapid prototyping board in a standard through hole DIP package (44-pin), targeted at high-performance as well as low-power applications. Communication interfaces, large on-board memories and LCD controller enables graphical user inteface applications.
The LPC4088 QuickStart Board is not just a piece of hardware - it's much, much more:
The module hardware, which is a professional quality hardware developed for integration and simplicity-of-use.
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 microcontroller programming.
The mbed Compiler is a powerful online IDE that is tightly integrated with the mbed SDK and Developer's Website (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.
Take advantage of Embedded Artists' competence to minimize your work and risk!
Volume Pricing from Quantity 1
The module is priced with integration in mind. Enjoy a price that is normally associated with much higher volumes from the first module you buy!
Pinning

LPC4088 Experiment Base Board
Together, the two boards (LPC4088 QuickStart Board and LPC4088 Experiment Base Board) form the LPC4088 Experiment Bundle - with a lot of experiment options, example code and projects!
Webinar at SOS Electronics/Conrad 77 minute webinar presenting the LPC4088 QuickStart board, mbed and how to get started with mbed (along with a EA company presentation)
mbed
The LPC4088 QuickStart Board is mbed Enabled- meaning that the board take full advantage of the mbed platform!
The LPC4088 QuickStart Board is the most advanced mbed enabled board to date - it is the most integrated, has most memory, has graphical possibilities and highest speed!
Some mbed information:
mbed.org website - this is the official mbed community website. It contains a lot of documentation with many different topics and angles on the information.
