The LPC1768 meets all the requirements I need for my custom embedded project, and then some. Since my project is not a volume based solution, I am not concerned at all with shaving a few dollars off the price. I would prefer to use the LPC1768 as is, and focus solely on the software side of the custom embedded project.

Are these boards ever used for industrial solutions? If not, what would need to be done to the board to make ready for an industrial application?

The LPC1768 is a Cortex-M3 microcontroller for embedded applications featuring a high level of integration and low power consumption at frequencies of 100 MHz. Features include 512 kB of flash memory, 64 kB of data memory, Ethernet MAC, USB Device/Host/OTG, 8-channel DMA controller, 4 UARTs, 2 CAN channels, 3 SSP/SPI, 3 I2C, I2S, 8-channel 12-bit ADC, 10-bit DAC, motor control PWM, Quadrature Encoder interface, 4 general purpose timers, 6-output general purpose PWM, ultra-low power Real-Time Clock with separate battery supply, and up to 70 general purpose I/O pins. The LPC1768 is pin-compatible to the 100-pin LPC2368 ARM7 MCU https://subwaysurfers.vip/ https://psiphon.vip/ https://hillclimbracing.vip/
