LPCXpresso is a low-cost, feature-rich development toolchain available from NXP. The toolchain supports ARM-based LPC microcontrollers and includes a free Eclipse-based IDE and a low-cost target board combined with a JTAG debugger.
There is also a Prototype board and a Base board that let engineers explore the features of the Cortex-M0 LPC11xx/12xx and the Cortex-M3 LPC1347 and LPC1769 microcontrollers on the LPCXpresso target boards. The Prototype board and Base board can also be used together with mbed.
Designed for simplicity and ease of use, the LPCXpresso provides software engineers a quick and easy way to develop their applications from initial evaluation to final production. The LPCXpresso target board is jointly developed by Embedded Artists and NXP.
