Overview

This board is no longer available; this information is provided as a reference for existing users. The mbed1768 mbed-LPC1768 and L-TEK-FF-LPC546XX boards provide alternatives in the same form factor, while the LPCXpresso11U68 and FRDM-KL25Z provide more capable Cortex M0+ platforms from NXP.

The mbed Microcontrollers are a series of ARM microcontroller development boards designed for rapid prototyping.

The mbed NXP LPC11U24 Microcontroller in particular is designed for prototyping low cost USB devices, battery powered applications and 32-bit ARM® Cortex™-M0 based designs. It is packaged as a small DIP form-factor for prototyping with through-hole PCBs, stripboard and breadboard, and includes a built-in USB FLASH programmer.

It is based on the NXP LPC11U24, with a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0 core running at 48MHz. It includes 32KB FLASH, 8KB RAM and lots of interfaces including USB Device, SPI, I2C, ADC, and other I/O interfaces. The pinout above shows the commonly used interfaces and their locations. Note that all the numbered pins (p5-p30) can also be used as DigitalIn and DigitalOut interfaces.

The mbed Microcontrollers provide experienced embedded developers a powerful and productive platform for building proof-of-concepts. For developers new to 32-bit microcontrollers, mbed provides an accessible prototyping solution to get projects built with the backing of libraries, resources and support shared in the mbed community.
