2.0 LPC1768-Xplorer Overview 2.1 Introduction The NGX LPC1768-Xplorer is a compact and versatile evaluation platform for the NXP's Cortex-M3 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 9: Lpc1768-Xplorer Verification
Quick Start Guide: LPC1768-Xplorer 3.0 LPC1768-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 10: Powering The Board
Manual, do not worry and please proceed with the test Power up the board over USB port and we are all set to verify the LPC1768-Xplorer peripherals. Before we get to the verification we need to install the Virtual COM port drivers needed for the LPC1768- Xplorer (USB port) to appear as a Virtual COM port (Used for viewing the debug messages on serial emulation tool). - Page 11 Quick Start Guide: LPC1768-Xplorer Steps to install the VCOM drivers on Windows 7 machine: Step 1: Connect USB to the computer, Open Device Manager, You can find “NXP LPC17xx VCOM” new device listed under ‘Other devices’. Fig.7 Step 2: Next, Right click on the NXP LPC17xx VCOM and then left click on Update Driver Software.

Quick Start Guide: LPC1768-Xplorer 3.3.1 LED Test setup and verification: As soon as the Xplorer is turned ON or reset; the test LED go ON & OFF for a couple of times, this simple test validates the LED. The Xplorer has one Green LED. This LED connected to the one of the GPIO line. - Page 17 Quick Start Guide: LPC1768-Xplorer Step 2: Select USB Vcom Port (COM12) and then click on OK. Fig.16 Step 3: Click on Restore Defaults and then click on OK. Fig.17 www.ngxtechnologies.com...
- Page 18 Quick Start Guide: LPC1768-Xplorer Step 4: Now the USB VCom is ready to use. Fig.18 Note: You would not be able to proceed with the verification unless the Virtual COM drivers are installed. The firmware waits for the USB to enumerate as VCOM port.
