Page 4: Introduction
2.0 LPC4330-Xplorer Overview 2.1 Introduction The NGX LPC4330-Xplorer is a compact and versatile evaluation platform for the NXP's Cortex-M4 based MCUS. NGX's evaluation platforms are generally not tied up to any particular debugger or compiler/IDE. However it is not practical to test and ensure that the solution would work out of box with all the available debuggers and compilers/IDE. -

Page 8: Lpc4330-Xplorer Verification
User Manual: LPC4330-Xplorer 3.0 LPC4330-Xplorer verification NGX's evaluation platforms ship with a factory-programmed test firmware that verifies all the on-board peripherals. It is highly recommended that you verify the board, before you start programming. Also this exercise helps you get acclimatized with the board quickly. -
Page 9: Powering The Board
3.2 Powering the Board The LPC4330-Xplorer can be powered through USB; we can either power it from USB0 port or USB1 port. It is highly recommended that the user tests all the peripherals as soon as the board is received. A regulated supply can be supplied to the 5V pin on the Xplorer-LPC4330 header. - Page 10 User Manual: LPC4330-Xplorer Steps to install the VCOM drivers on Windows 7 machine: Step 1: Connect USB1 to the computer, Open Device Manager, You can find “NXP LPC18xx VCOM” new device listed under ‘Other devices’.

Page 18: User Input Switch
User Manual: LPC4330-Xplorer 3.3.3 User Input Switch Test setup and verification: Once the VCOM drivers are installed the Xplorer waits for the User Input Switch to be pressed. Only after detecting a user button (SW2) press the test firmware proceeds with validating other peripherals. This synchronization is necessary to ensure that the debug messages on the VCOM port can be viewed from the start of the test. -
