LPC1768 Industrial Reference Design Platform
System Development Kit Version 1.3
1.0 System Overview
The LPC1768 Industrial Reference Design (IRD) is a platform targeted at RTOS based embedded
systems. Designed around a flexible "Core" and "Base" Printed Circuit Board (PCB) concept, it
features many of the system functions and wired communications protocols found in today's
embedded applications. The flexible design allows for changing of core and base boards, displays
and keypads as needed by the targeted application. The platform is powered from an external
5VDC power supply, and provides circuitry to measure current consumption of 3.3VDC while
operating the platform in different modes. Software development and debug are accomplished with
the use of a JTAG connection and Keil IDE development environment. Hardware circuitry is
incorporated to facilitate In-System-Programming (ISP), allowing software updates to be easily
loaded and demonstrated on the platform.
The version 1.3 kit features:
- NXP-designed (green PCB) LPC1768 core board
- NXP-designed base (green PCB) board
- A phone-style keypad board
- A 20X4 character LCD module
The platform provides demonstration software to perform functional test of the microcontroller
features, such as Ethernet, USB Device, UART, I²C, ADC, and GPIO ports. In the future, the
platform will support Micrium μC/OS-II Real Time Operating System (RTOS), and provides software
support for 10/100Base Ethernet, USB Host/Device, CAN, RS-232, and I
protocols. Additionally, the platform provides flexible interfaces for:
-
Vacuum Fluorescent Displays (VFD) or Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD)
-
UART expansion

-
I
C expansion
-
Application specific hardware through connection headers on the baseboard
